Problems after Dell Tech Support

Hello, Today I called Dell regarding a few problems I have been having with my TV Tuner. They thought that it might of been my BIOS so they updated the BIOS on my 531 desktop. They changed all settings to defalt while in setup utilty. Now everytime I boot into windows it says F1 for boot into windows or F2 for set up utilty. How can I make it boot into windows automatically?
 
     Also I have an 128MB NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Card. My BIOS under Video is telling my that its reading 64MB I am able to switch it to 128MB. Should I?
 
      My last question is, When in "My Computer" It is reading an Floppy Drive. Why? I don't have one and never read one before. How can I get rid of this. All I have is an Media Card Reader.
 
      Thanks if anyone can help me with these problems.

    Hi
    Go back to F2 and press enter to get to the bios and disable the on board floppy controller !
    When you updated the bios it turned on the floppy controller by default ,
    then it should boot right to windows !!
    Good Luck
