Without more specific model numbers it is going to be virtually impossible
to help. Tom "JohnF" wrote in message ... Hi all... Computer 1: Bought 2 Compaq's at a BOCES school auction. Didn't get any disks or manuals. When I turn on he first one all I get is a black screen and eternally blinking cursor. Tried putting in a floppy boot disc from other non-Compaq computers but nothing happens. What keystrokes or how do I get at the Setup. I have a boot disk from other non-Compaq computers. Only thing I can think of is to disconnect hard drive but don't know what that will accomplish as it won't read the disk in the floppy. No. 2: When computer comes up it shows small display box with PASSWORD ON and PASSWORD O#!. Don't know how to get at Setup or if I do can I turn the password off? Any help at all on one of both of these problems appreciated. Thanks John |
