This URL will work better..... "Sebastian A. Potthoff" wrote in message ... Well, maybe then you can tell me how to access the BIOS on a Toshiba Satellite 5200-XXX... As far as I know, it is not possible... Please tell me if you know more. Thanks, Sebastian "Steve" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I have worked on a lot of laptops.. Compaq, Dell, Toshiba, HP ,Sony, etc.... have yet to run into one where I cannot access the BIOS. You may have to hit a differnet ket than F1 or Del to get into it but so far I have been successful. In fact many of them you can set a boot up paswword that you set in the BIOS. So like I asked, what mfgs don't let you in? (plenty is not an anwser). "Strontium" wrote in message ...

It sounds like you have the typical confusion of someone that just read
their A+ certification book... **** off, troll. NuTs "Strontium" wrote in message ... I was referring to NEWBIES that don't know how to get into CMOS (BIOS for wannabe know-it-alls). So, your point, is moot. Of course BIOS (AKA CMOS FOR THOSE THAT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT) is accessible. But, dependent on different mfg's, the key to be pressed to get in varies....SMARTASS. OH WAIT! I see that you are from Rochester, NY....That explains quite a bit. I did research in upstate New York, back in `93. You East Coasters got sticks up your asses...Just my impression. Besides, OEM BIOS versions are total crap and really don't have any options for the end user. So, accessing CMOS on a laptop (inherently proprietary) is useless, unless you just love looking at the time stamp.

"Sebastian A. Potthoff" wrote in message ... Thank you Biz! I know that utility. But it only offers the possibility to change very basic settings like boot-order etc. There are no "tweakable" settings really... Might there be a way to "hack" a bios?... The is a utility called modbin which can edit a PC bios. If your lucky the agp setting will have a disabled bios control setting in the bios menu. Modbin can enable that control so that the AGP setting can be changed. If not you need to find the AGP aperture in the bios fixed data which isn't easy as this data dosn't have names pointing indicating what the data is. |

Want more of an answer, asshole? You really impress me. Really, you do. A person comes to a news group for advise. You give him a wrong answer because in your opion he has not earned the right to have the answer. Then you call others an asshole? How can you breath with your snooty big ass head stuck so far up your pompus ass that we see **** stains in your eyes? |

Seen it happen (not to me). I've used it to add newer CPUID support for older mobos (and a few unmentionable diabolical purposes...), but beyond this, I wouldn't recommend messing about too much with it for the average user... |

You're pretty tough behind that keyboard Strontium. By the way, what are you
going to do when your mummy finds out you post using bad language? Careful now... you don't want your privledges supended. Then you'll have to dust off your blow up doll since you won't have anything else to jerk off to. "Strontium" wrote in message ...
