Entering the BIOS Utility

What is the proper key sequence to enter the BIOS Utility. I've tried
several recommendations given in these newsgroups, however wasn't successful.
Using an OEM (no disc) IBM model NetVista, Celeron 700 MHz and IBM enhanced
101-102 keyboard (accordig to Everest), The OS is Windows Me. Tks

The key strokes required to enter the BIOS, which in most cases can only
be done from DOS following a DOS boot, although some modern bioses can now
be flashed with the operating system running, vary from maker to maker.
For many systems with ward bioses the answer is to press Del as the system
boots. For most systems the required keystroke(s) is displayed on the
screen when first booting immediately following the RAM count.

Some other keystrokes to try include:
F1
F2
and less often,
Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Ctrl + Alt + Ins

Worry not friend. :-) I don't even know why I made that post. As for your
eyes being bad I can hardly read the screen until I've been up a few hours
and had a few strong coffees.
