This article was previously published under Q91202 SUMMARY
If the MENUDEFAULT command in your CONFIG.SYS file is incorrectly
set, the time-out value defaults to zero. As a result, the startup menu
is not displayed when you start your machine.
Common problems with menudefault settings include using the full menu
descriptor (menu_text) instead of the menu block name and using
non-numeric characters.
To determine if your menu default is incorrectly set, restart your
computer and press the F8 function key when the text "Starting
MS-DOS..." is displayed. If the time-out is defaulting to zero, the
menu is displayed. If the menu is not displayed, another problem
exists.
