    Was about installing some drivers for the 6224 with XP 32bit-version on it, and after a while i got to the part when to fix the TPM (Trusted Platform Module). The thing is now, after i've installed it, that my PC won't start up after i've done what it said in the install, to enable it in BIOS. I just get to the white screen with ZEPTO written in big letters and the words "Press F2 for System Utillities" in the left corner. But i can't press anything, nothing work. I've tried both to get in to "System Utillities" and to start up with an OS-disc (XP 32/64 and Vista 32/64), but no luck so far. Ive tried to google for it for some useful information about it, but found nothing. Have anyone even heard about this problem, or better up to know how to fix it?

    I haven't found a use for the TPM so I keep it disabled in the BIOS setup. I wonder whether it is waiting for you to give some input on the (non-existent) finger-print sensor.

    Disconnect from the mains, remove the main battery and open up the memory compartment and remove the lithium coin battery for a few minutes. This should clear the BIOS settings. Another route which may work is to download the latest BIOS, burn on to a CD and then install it. This should install with the default settings.
