TITLE :F5 and F8 Keys Do Not Seem to Affect Startup Files
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
On some fast computers, the "Starting MS-DOS..." message may flash on
the screen too quickly to allow you to press the F5 or F8 function
key.
If you have problems getting your computer to respond to the F5 and F8
function keys, make sure the following line is not in your CONFIG.SYS
file:
switches=/f
More Information:
You can use a small multiple-configuration menu to determine if the F5
and F8 function keys are working properly. Adding the following five
lines to the top of your CONFIG.SYS file creates a startup menu that
gives you one menu item. You can then either press ENTER to start your
computer, press the F5 function key to bypass your configuration
files, or press the F8 function key to step through the CONFIG.SYS
file.
[COMMON]
[MENU]
MENUITEM=ONE,Your standard startup...
MENUDEFAULT=ONE,15
[ONE]
These statements give you 15 seconds before your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files are processed. They do not affect the contents of
your CONFIG.SYS file.
Type "help multi-config" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS
command prompt to learn more about using multiple-configuration menus.
Type "help switches" (without the quotation marks) to learn more about
using the Switches command.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
You may receive the following error message when you start Microsoft
Backup for Windows on an NEC portable:
File is not a setup file C:\DOS\DEFAULT.SET
This error occurs because the NEC BIOS creates a DEFAULT.SET file in
the DOS directory when the battery starts running low.
Workaround
----------
To work around this problem, delete or rename the DEFAULT.SET file,
and then restart Microsoft Backup for Windows.
