Someone suggested the Delete key on another topic but that didn't work or am I doing it wrong. Thanks for any help. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When your computer starts, under the tests, it says something like 'press ... to go to SETUP'. That's the key you want

It might be Escape as well.
Once I found a peculiar bios which needed nothing less than

In short, try pressing every single button on your keyboard!

Edit: you don't want to leave a tag lying around unclosed

Every button? Hee Hee! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] Thanks for the advice everyone. I had also tried holding the CTRL key. Don't! It disables the keyboard for my system. BTW I have WinXP. I know for sure F2 is Setup, F8 gives me a boot option menu, and F5 takes me to a Safe Mode options menu. LOL there's only a very small timing windo to enter the right key. Maybe I can adjust that too while I'm in there. Thanks again everyone.

F12 on my Dell... and most Dells. Don't change anything you're unsure about though - I found nothing of use in my Bios concerning my video card problem at the time so, I left it alone.
