Thread Name: Tech: Setting BIOS Windows 98
Subject: Tech: Setting BIOS Windows 98
I know Windows 98 right...what can I do.But I figured some brainiac here must know! Mudcatters have the combined experience and knowledge of an entire set of encyclopedias!

The problem is someone installed a dvd burner (a year and a half ago and is no longer around) and all it will offer to burn is CDs.Even after I download the dvd onto my computer. So I emailed tech support. I get five pages of stuff starting with resetting my BIOS to default-then uninstalling-then cleaning the registry {scary!!!) and then reinstalling.

Unfortunately I can't get the BIOS menu to come up. I've tried rebooting each time I tried, one at a time, hitting F5, F10, F-4 ctrol-H-NOTHIN! I get a strange sound like it's trying to but can't.

My question is, is there some other way to get to BIOS? And what if I uninstall and clean the registry and reinstall without resetting the default bios? I am desparate to get this dvd burned!(an audition)

This computer was a gift 4 years ago so I don't have the manuel. I may just have to break down and find one...

Any help would be greatly appreciate!!!
