    With the key "F2" you can reach the bios in booting sequence where you can see the first Acer picture. In the BIOS you can load bios defaults. If you need to reset the bios before F2 possibilty - try pressing the DEL or insert button if you switch it on.

    You can load a newest version of Bios downloaded from Acer FTP site. But don't upgrade to 2.72 beceause it's not veruy good (to bugy).
    When You download a Bios from Acer site there is a software to upgrade it from Dos or from Windows. It's simple i think :).
