Hi Sam...

Not exactly certain of the question, but if you're
looking to get into bios setup, try these:

DELETE
ESC
F1
F2
F10
INSERT
TAB
RESET (twice, rapidly)
CTRL/ALT/+
CTRL/ALT/?
CTRL/ALT/ENTER
CTRL/ALT/ESC
CTRL/ALT/INSERT
CTRL/ALT/S
CTRL/ESC
CTRL/INS

Of course you've looked carefully at the first
screen shown, the key combo may be displayed at the
bottom left.

And I too have never heard of a memorex pc, it may well
be one of those few that required you to boot from a
floppy and run setup from the floppy.

Hope this is helpful.

Take care.

Ken
