AboutLorry Expertise I can answer most questions regarding Windows 95 and/or Windows 98.
Experience Like most people, started with Windows 95, then continued on with the other versions as they came available up to Windows XP. Am a local tech helping others when something goes wrong with Windows.
Question I have a friend who manages an apartment complex that has a Dell Dimension 3100 running a program that opens and closes the entry gate.
The PC does not boot all the way, it only gets to a black screen where it asks for a password. She says that she cannot get to the BIOS, I'm not sure if she knows how to get into the BIOS. I told her I would go out there tomorrow morning to give her a hand so I'm trying to find out any possible solutions before I get there.
Do you have any ideas or thoughts as to what the problem is and/or what I can try to fix it?
Thank you,
Landon
