David, for a complete bios reset, just go to the motherboard and take the battery out for ~1 to 2 hrs., OR leave it out overnight. When you reboot, all the bios setting will be at default and you should be able to access it through your 'F8' key or 'delete' key on bootup.

There should be a jumper which will do the same thing in a matter of seconds, look in the mobo book, or if you've not got that, find it online.
it may even be writen on the mobo, something along the lines of clrcmos or ccmos.

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
Well, for those who don't have the Mobo Book around,  taking the battery out is easier than trying to figure which jumper to pull!!!  |

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
I am going for it. I am updating my new Power Machine to XPsp3 right now. I won't update my HP as it is an AMD and we all know that INTEL and Microsoft have a private deal between them to kill AMD.
If this works I might even risk my laptop.

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
Well after hours and hours of trying to fix my system after XPsp3 screwed up it, I finally have it all working again. I had to reinstall EVERYTHING after doing a complete reinstall of XP. I am now up to date and only suffered a few hours of pain. NO way in hell am I going to try this with the HP POS. NO way.

A lot of feed back from people running business say that they had absolutely no problem updating to SP3 over hundreds and thousands of machines. So I guess its safe now. Any one willing to risk it now, odds are in your favor.
