Re: [PLUG] Gateway computers
|
Where I used to go to school we used gateway's (486's) and what I rem about
getting into the BIOS was two things... One was it was a three key combo
using IIRC ESC (i.e. Crtl+alt+esc or something...) and that when windows 3.1
was running and you had a dos window open you could get into the bios in a
window... But had to reboot to get out of it... Which did wonders for
windows 3.1
Hope it helps...
sloopy.
