also trying to access bios on a compaq deskpro series 3564. i am trying to make one decent system for my daughter out of two old dinosaurs and a lot of "spare" parts,
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

If it's Phoenix BIOS, try Ctrl+Alt+ESC or Ctrl+Alt+S.
The Compaq system probably reequires "F10 Utility" to be installed on the HDD (should be available on Compaq site), then use F10 to enter it.

THANKS
