One of those "great deals"....I picked up a Dell computer that was retired from our local library (I don't know the details of the computer because I cannot access it for any info). When I boot it up I get a log-in box titled "Novell Client for Windows" with User Name and Password fields. I cannot get around it to get to windows controls. I've tried the Control-F11, and tapping the F8 key with no luck. When I tap the F8 key I get the screen to select Safe Mode or other options but the Start Windows Normally is highlighted and the mouse and UP DOWN arrows do not function so I cannot elect Safe Mode.
Of course I have no boot disks....is there any way to get Novell off the computer and get to Windows?
