My function key prompt goes by so fast booting up, I can't see which F
key to hit to get to the BIOS, I tried looking through the help files
and can't find it, I found how to get to the safemode screen. I also
never got my book with my laptop. I am using an HP Pavilion notebook,
and need to enable the infrared device so I can download pictures from
my cell phone, any ideas?
Thanks much!

it's a dv1000 with Winxp
I need your ideas about getting to the bios, then enabling it, and
knowing how to make it receive when I transmit a picture from my cell
phone.
or ideas how to win the lottery!
Thanks Bill! or anyone

Try, "Del" or "F2" or "F10".
