    Normally when I hit the Access IBM button before startup on my R40, it goes to a graphical interface that gives me options. It has stopped doing that and now goes to a much simpler interface. What would cause this to suddenly change?

    There's a setting in the BIOS to enable or disable the IBM Pre-desktop interface. I just had to turn it back on.
