re: can't enter bios Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 6:19 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe Grenier (5 messages posted) Ive had this 1750 for years in junk box. Now with this new info Hold down Function key and F8 then power up the computer keep these keys down and tap F11. You will then get an option to save changes F1. Worked. I was able to boot off XP pro and install. Had all drivers installed and working but too slow. Only 128 ram. So formated and installed XP Performance edition. Runs super. Had no drivers on this edition so had trouble with drivers missing. Dont support xp on 1750. So reinstalled full xp pro. Backed up drivers. Then formated and installed XP Performance edition. Now have a great working laptop with everything working. Rogers stick internet. Kids love it. Use it everyday. Thx for the info.
