    Cannot go into BIOS

    My office computer runs WinXP SP3, I am log onto domain A, domain B is called "this computer". I wish to go into BIOS but could not do so, i.e., even if I press DELETE during start up, it goes directly to the log on page without entering BIOS.

    Is there any way I can go into BIOS ?

    It is a DELL Optiplex GX745

    Course, the domain stuff has nothing to do with getting into the BIOS

    If you're using a USB keyboard AND have a standard PS2 port - switch to a PS2 keyboard... Once in the BIOS look for the option to "enable legacy USB devices."
