i am not sure also how on a compaq you enter into the bios.

Have you tried pressing F10 or "Delete"? It's been a while since I turned on my Presario 2100 (another '97 Compaq machine), but I remember having to press a specific key (other than the ordinary F2 or F8) in order to access the BIOS setup. If F10 doesn't work, try pressing every other F-number key (i.e. F1-F12) until you find yourself in the BIOS setup.

yea i tried, but if i press too many times it will show a keyboard error on screen
i hope someone on vogons got the same model

On my 5152, which i THINK is a 1998 model, the BIOS key is F10.

It does work just fine, however if the CMOS battery dies it seems to act crazy for awhile, really slow posting etc.

Sometimes have to let it do a RAM count two or three times, and let it reboot before it settles down and acts normal.

im wondering if anyone in the forum has a presario 4120, 4122, 4160
im insterested on what keyboard model it came with, and what mouse model it came with, if you can share a picture of it it would be great

Hi there

I had a 4160 back in the day. I'm pretty sure it came with this kind of keyboard (USA). Cheers
