Unhappy Can't get into BIOS

I was trying to get into BIOS by tapping " F2 " on my laptop, Compaq Presario M2105CA with the operating system of Windows XP Professional. But for some reasons can't get into " F2 " and someone I know told me that I should try with " F1 " or " F10 " or " delete ". Well I try them all and no luck. Should I contact Compaq Tech Support online to see if they can help to solve the problem of trying get into BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

John P. Mackay

Are you pressing the keys as soon as you turn it on?

I would just keep pressing the key repeatedly until I see Windows, and know it didn't work.

It should be F10.
