    Hey everyone,

    This might seem like an easy stupid question, so please go easy on me ;)

    How the heck do you get into the BIOS on the new Sony SZ160? Either I'm blind or I don't see the command ont he Vaio startup screen. I've tried some of the F (Function) keys and the Escape key with no success.

    Any and all help is truly appreciated!

    Thanks in Advance!

    Try F2 or Esc.

    F2 when the Vaio logo appears, at least on my SZ120.

    There's not much to play with in the BIOS - only thing I changed was to disable the Vaio animation, which speeds up reboot by a second or two - plus the accompanying Vaio logo sound was getting extremely annoying while reinstalling. :)
