      Can't press F10 on startup...

      Whenever I try to get to the system recovery on startup I have to press the F10 key, but when I press it, nothing happens. I also have the option of the ESC key and F1 key, but those both do different things, and it's the F10 key I need to work.

      My F10 key works just fine, but something is blocking it from being used to reach the system recovery which is what I need really bad...

      Any suggestions on how I fix this?

      Tap it really, really fast as your computer is starting up, and before it prompts you for it.

      Hm, you didn't specify which system you're using, but isn't it supposed to be F8?

      I'm using an HP with Windows XP. And it is F10.

      I used F8 for safe boot, once. F10 is the correct one, I believe, for system recovery.
      What are you trying to do it for?
