BIOS, F8 etc.. screens only last 1 second

Hello,
Hi,
I'm trying to fix some problems with my Windows Vista Repair Disc. However, none of the menus will stay up for more than 1 or 2 seconds at a time. When the Disc repair starts, it shows the repair starting and then screen goes black.

Same thing happens with any shorcut I type (F8, F2, F12, etc...) Even when I try to start in Safe Mode or get to the BIOS screen, I get the screen for 2 seconds max and all goes black (or moves onto the next step to eventually turn black altogether)

I cannot run the Vista repair disc without seeing what is going on. Any ideas on how I can make the screen last longer???




To follow up on close22's response, how do I do this? When I try to F2 to get to BIOS, the screen only stays up for a second or two. Am I not in the right spot? I'm not sure how to fix this when all screens (including BIOS) disappear so quickly..
