Yes. "Normal Startup" is the default setting. You had disabled an item
in MSCONFIG but not one of the major components that are listed under
"Selective Startup". When returning to "Normal Startup", all disabled
items had been enabled again and changing to "Selective Startup" with
no further changes on the other register cards does not "stick",
because this is the same as "Normal Startup".
