    Hi, as the title says I'm having problems with my Dell netbook. It freezes even with the most simple tasks. I just need to reduce the video sharing memory and the startup applications. Can somebody tell me how I can access the bios so I can reduce the shared memory? Also it would be nice to learn how to reduce startup applications.

    You can access the BIOS by pressing DEL key or F10 key during when the system is powered on. I think your system is freezing because programs are not getting required memory to run smoothly.

    In this case I have to hit F2 but the problem is that I'm not able to access the video sharing area in my bios. Maybe that part is locked. Does somebody knows how to access/unlock it?
