@Four_StaplesJun 07.2009 — Remove your body's onload attribute. id isn't a function, it's a variable-- it's defined (and as a result, the timer is set) on page load.

It also seems as though you were using curly quotes in your window.location.href definition, which a browser does not recognize as regular quotes. Are you editing in a word processor such as word? It could also just be the forums formatting it strangely since your post wasn't in [[b][/b]code] tags.

Anyway, here is the working code ?&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;PSP_HTML_BootSCR&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;

var id = setTimeout("startOS();", 6000);

function startOS(){
window.location.href="file:/sys/AceOS.html";
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"
alink="#ee0000" link="#0000ee" vlink="#551a8b"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;img
style="width: 387px; height: 213px;" alt=""
src="file:/GIF/YODA_Boot.gif"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
