OP OP J Jesse_XIV Beta member Messages 2 Aug 8, 2006 #5 I've tried pressing most of the "F's" and I couldn't find the option on the settings screen. I haven't tried pressing F8 repeatedly so I will, I hope this works. Thanks.

Click to expand... I actually find my instructions easy to follow step by step Also some PC's dont use the 'f8 method' so my way is a certain way to do it. I've tried pressing most of the "F's" and I couldn't find the option on the settings screen. Click to expand... My way is alot simpler.
