Plug a keyboard into the USB port and press the Ctrl, Shift, Alt, and Windows key simultaneously.

Touch Only Screens: Press and hold the box until the unit boots to config mode.
Keypad Only Screens: Hold the F1 key until the unit boots to config mode. |

If the method offered by smoke does not work, you can download a utility from ab.com that you can put on a memory card and it will force the PV to the config screen on power up.

There is no white box to press and hold during boot process, i think because of the firmware ( too old)
Pluged in a keyboard as SMOKE adviced, and got access to PanelView Transfer Utility, and there were 2 ways to download serial and Ethernet, tried serial, had no luck, seems like this PV hates serial type connection ![]() Tried ethernet, communication established but only with Firware Upgrade Utility, finally again "not enough space message" appeared. File Download and Upload utility (part of RSView Studio) that what i would use to delete application doesnt communicate with PV i dont knw why... RSLinx doesnt see PV when Ethernet driver is running. So i decided to do next: 1. find a smaller firmware that can be downloaded to PV without not enough space message. 2. find a utility on ab.com to force the PV to go to config screen |

As it boots you should see a little white box pop up on the lower left hand corner of the screen. When this pops up just touch it and it should go into config mode.

This should help
Problem: If an application has accidentally been set to autorun with no means of exiting the project, it will continue to run that application even on reboot of the terminal.
Solution: The following utility will bring up the RSView ME Configuration screen where the user can set ME to disable the project autorun option. Steps: Method
File is attached..

And here's the same application for the PV700 - 1500 sizes. It uses a different file but work it the same way.

Another way is to add a shutdown button (one of the menu items in RSView Studio). I add a popup on the first screen that opens. This allows me to go back to a previous revision without downloading.

And just a quick note that the AUTORUN.EXE file you create as in DUNKs post also works from a USB memory stick, as well as from a CF card, same procedure.
