i hav a compaq presario F572US, athlon x2, etc.
okey, by mistake i disabeled the shared video memory, and now i have no video at all, it boots and gets three loud beeps, then the computers boots up normally (i can hear wvista).
If inmediately after the beeps, i press f10 (to call bios utility) it beeps again (asuming) its askin for my psswrd, i type it in press enter and after i tried blindly going to restore default but no matter what i do even if i do nothing but wait (after the steps described before) i hear another three beeps and vista starts booting up again with no video. any suggestions,
plz i thank you in advance.

i tried calling for support and all they can do is ask me to send it to their service center... which ill probably do. Although i wanted to try to upgrade the bios and maby get the default settings that way, who knows. thank you anyway. Oh, and by the way, laptops dont have the bios accessible as desktops so i cant just open it and take the batt off, maby but i didnt want to loose the warranty.
thank you all

To default it without access you need to remove power and it's battery, then find and remove the cmos battery. You probably need to leave it out for some time. I would try 1 hour. Then put it back, re-fit the battery and then connect and start.
