If it is like all other Compaqs I have seen, you should do the following: After the bios screen and just before the Windows is loading message, the flashing curser on the screen will jump to the right and flash for a couple of seconds. When this happens, hit the F10 key and that should get you into the BIOS. I may take a couple of tries to get the timing right. Hope this helps, Fran ----- Original Message ----- From: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 10:12 AM Subject: Compaq 5000 Bios > Does anyone know how to get into the Compaq 5000 Bios screen? thanks > > Phillip Haveard > [log in to unmask] > The NOSPIN Group provides a monthly newsletter with great tips, information and ideas: NOSPIN-L, The NOSPIN Magazine Visit our web site to signup: http://freepctech.com
