Default Boot Up Problem

My options to press F2 or F12 to view SETUP or go into SAFE MODE are completely by-passed and the boot continues directly into the WIN XP logo and the computer performs normally. I would like to be able to view SETUP. Any solutions??

Hi,take BIOS battery out for 1 min while pc is powered off and replace reboot pc.
Did you try F10 or repeatedly tap F8 on boot up for safe mode?

OK--sorry but I don't understand "replace reboot pc". And can you explain to this illiterate what the battery has to do with the boot up problem. Thanks
