How do i run setup program

The root-cause is the CMOS battery. After I replace a new battery, and after manually reboot machine twice then all get back to normal. One big question remains: how come the CMOS battery can die off in less than 2 years after purchase? I prefer Duracell or Energizer. I get better deals on Duracell on Amazon than in the store.

Sony only lasted me 2 years. Components vary. This forum is user to user with occasional assistance by other Rockstars or Dell employees. I too have a Dell Inspiron I assumed it was that. Interestingly, when I hit continue it boots up normally and the date updates. I'll try the battery change to see if it happens again.

All Compaq machines use [F10] at startup, but you may need to pay attention to exactly where the computer is in the startup process, depending on the model of the machine.

On these models, when you hold down [Esc] as you power the system up, you will be taken into the Setup routine. Conclusion There may well be other techniques used by different computer and BIOS manufacturers to enter the all-important Setup program, but these are all I have personally experienced over the years.
