shanks is on a distinguished road
right click the task bar and go to properties. At the bottom of the dialog box, untick the 'Hide inactive icons' box. Press 'apply' then 'ok'.

AT the very beginning of TURNING ON the computer...
A screen will appear, It will have it LISTED there, OR hit esc, and SEE it...
At the top funtion buttons. FAR RIGHT, it says PAUSE...HIT it to PAUSE BIOS LOADING.
Should show yo ALL the numbers you need..

IF not, go into bios and turn OFF FAST loading...
