Bought my daughter a computer for Xmas u have to set up the monitor and when I insert cd into computer it says on screen reboot using boot device and we can't get it on' anyone know when the boot menu is etc

press f2 when you boot the pc up

Tried that it say reboot using proper boot device .

You did buy one with an OS installed? If so you need to configure the boot devices in the BIOS on boot. It depends on the computer but it'll be either f2, f12, f10, f8, esc or del and set the boot device to be the hard drive. Even more unlikely is that the hard drive is unplugged (you'd need to open it up and check it has both power and data cable plugged in; again I doubt that's your issue)

Most manufacturers set this up correctly though, so it sounds more like you've bought a computer without an OS, in which case you'll need to get hold of one and install it. Windows is over £100 but you could get ubuntu which is free.

Gosh iv'e just devoloped a headache reading that
