    Hey, first of all thanks for your help in advance. I have had a computer that has been sitting in my closet for a while now and decided to try to fix it up because it once had a virus on it. I somehow cleared everything from it leaving me with a black screen similar to that of command prompt. Nothing seems to be recognized when I type in a promt or insert a disc. The screen is actually blue at first and is called windows setup it says to set up Windows XP press enter. I press enter and that works fine then it brings me to the lisense agreement which says "press F8 if you agree". For some reason it wont let me press F8 does anyone have any suggestions?

    It was just working over the weekend and all the other buttons work except F8, I think it is just not recognizing F8 for some reason

    that is why i said try another keyboard to see whether is keyboard or motherboard problem as unlikely is software problem.
