    Changing something in MSCONFIG and not being able to enter BIOS setup isn't related, unless your computer has a BIOS setup GUI within Windows; so, I think your problem lies elsewhere.

    I agree, keep tapping F2 insistently as soon as the laptop starts and through the ASUS splashscreen.

    If that doesn't work, use the > o < hole on the bottom of the notebook to reset the BIOS to defaults. Use a pin to push in the hole.

    I would just start hitting ALL of the F keys if nothing was working, but E.B.E.'s advice sounds much better :D
