This HP a1430n PC I bought in mid 2006 doesn't allow booting from USB in its 
BIOS.

I've wrote HP Support a couple times about offering a BIOS Update to do that 
but they didn't.

A few months I tried to click on their Support link in their monthly Newsletter
and found out I couldn't get free support for my questions any more so I 
clicked on the Corporate Contact link and wrote them a note.

They responded by telling me I can only get my support questions answered if I 
want to pay for it.

In my messagee to Corp. HP I told them of the trouble HP Updates was having on 
my computer since I changed my account to a Limited User account and HP Updates
was giving me an error message about it can't connect to HP.

I guess when the computer was made HP Updates was in the Administrative account
the computer came with and when I changed it to a Limited account I messed its 
mind up.

The Error window is easy to cancel by just hitting the Esc Key, it was just 
aggrevating me a bit and I thought HP Support could tell me how to remove it 
from starting up in the Limited account.

I have looked, and the best I can figure out IF I removed it from the Start Up 
section I would be removing HP Udpate from all of the User Accounts on my 
computer and it wouldn't automatically check for HP Updates even in the 
Administrator accounts anymore.

PC = 1       ED = 0
