setup runs with every boot

[Guest]

I've got a computer Pentium II, 266 Mhz with Windows 95. At the moment, every
time I turn on the computer and the boot is starting, it goes straight to
Setup and doesn't even show: to run setup press del.

To leave it, I can click on save without change and go to Windows 95. But I
don't want the system going straight to setup and what's doing the boot go
there?

Please, help, help !!!!

Look for a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of drive C:
and delete it.

Good luck

Are you referring to BIOS setup, where you make changes about the machine's
hardware configuration and disk drives, etc? If you are being taken
straight to that sort of setup it's because the machine has detected some
inconsistency in this information, or an error occurred during startup
testing, such as a memory error. You need to check that the BIOS
information exactly matches the hardware components in the machine, and you
need to use diagnostic software to confirm that it's all working properly.

Check for a dead CMOS battery. That battery keeps the BIOS information up
to date when the computer is off.
Most modern computers use a CMOS battery that looks like a large watch
battery (about the size of a US nickel). Replace that battery and see if
it helps. The Battery should not be expensive.
