    How do you enter setup on an older Acer Acros 486 Desktop?

    I have tried the basics, "DEL", CTRL + ALT + ENTER, F2,3,4.

    Pull a stick of memory out of it and post. Most older machines will prompt you to run setup, with the key(s) to push.

    I agree with both shawnMt and weck, also pulling the floppy drive cable will create an error which will get you to setup on older systems.
    It's a dog eat dog world out there, and there isn't enough dog to go around. So get as much dog as you can, before all the dogs gone.
