Acronis True Image 2013 build 6514
Windows 7 x64 Home

I activated the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. During bootup, I see the POST screen and then it goes black and then the loading screen as Windows starts to load. I don't see a message saying "Press F11 for Acronis Recovery Manager". However, after the POST screen finishes painting, I can keep tapping the F11 key to get Acronis Recovery Manager to load.

The problem is the F11 message is missing to prompt me for when I can hit that key or it flashes on and off so quickly as to be effectively invisible.

- When activated, is the Acronis Recovery Manager supposed to show a "Press F11 key" message after the POST screen but before Windows starts to load?

- If so, is that a way to prolong the "Press F11 key" message so I can see it?

I know that folks that have switched from HDD to SSD for the OS partition have encountered problems with seeing messages that flash by too quickly during computer bootup. However, I'm still using an HDD so it isn't a problem of a super-fast SSD making messages disappear too quickly. Right after the POST screen finishes (and then gets replaced by the black screen), Windows is loading immediately. I don't get to see a "Press F11 key" message and I would really want to see that prompt. I'm not keen on having to repeatedly tap the F11 key at the end of the POST hoping to trigger the load of Acronis Recovery Manager.

Greetings,
When activated, you would normally see a "Press F11 for Acronis Start Up and Recovery Manager" (During POST), however, other factors such as the one you pointed out can affect your ability to see this message.

Since you are still using a plattered disk, I would check your BIOS settings. If there is a Fast Boot option, disable it. If there is an option to Display Full Screen Boot Logo, disable that as well. If the system is extremely old, and uses IDE interfaces, then increasing the IDE Detection Time Out to maximum number of seconds could also help with this behavior. It possible too, although unlikely that the video card could affect this. On-board vs. dedicated GPU. In this case, telling the BIOS what type of card you are using (if these options exist) in your BIOS, instead of using AUTO, could also help. PCI, AGP, PCIe, iGPU, etc. Some BIOS' offer the ability to increase the display time of POST messages.... And last, your boot order. If your HDD is listed as the first boot device and the PC has a CD/DVD, try putting the CD as first boot device, then HDD... Some of these suggestions may not apply depending on your hardware. There is no Acronis setting that will increase the time this message displays during POST.
