| 461976 | 2006-06-10 00:04:00 | I've got a IBM NetVista machine here that I can't access the cmos setup on. I've tried F1 F2 F10 & DEL but no luck. Any suggestions? :badpc: |

| 461977 | 2006-06-10 00:11:00 | Could be F11, F12, Ctrl F2. It should say what key/s to press on the post screen. While its booting press the pause key. So, it doesnt load too fast. |

| 461979 | 2006-06-10 00:48:00 | Did you hold down the keys u mentioned?? As soon as u rebooted? Not just press the key/s, and take your finger off it? |

| 461980 | 2006-06-10 00:57:00 | Another one to try is Esc. The IBM website seems to say that F1 is the key to use. |

| 461981 | 2006-06-10 01:41:00 | Righty Ho, Tried every function key holding down and tapping. Tried Esc & Del & Ctrl+F2 No Joy! All I want to do is turn off the "Modem Wake on Ring" There must be a way to access the Cmos setup but how????? |

| 461983 | 2006-06-10 02:46:00 | It is F1 to get into a NetVista, and cunningly designed to be difficult. When the IBM logo flashes up, quickly hit the F1 key multiple times, then sit back and wait. If you dont get in quickly, the machine will continue to boot normally, if you only hit the key once it will also continue to boot normally. |

| 461984 | 2006-06-10 05:14:00 | Sorry guys, but I've tried all of the above and still can't get in. Must be a major??????????? |

| 461985 | 2006-06-10 05:32:00 | Following Speedy's suggestion, I've just found out on my old Netvista that holding F1 key down after switching on, and keeping it held down until the setup screen appears, also works. Presumably that's the same as multiple hits. If that doesn't work, try a new keyboard just in case F1 key is not working properly |
