I am running XP pro, I was using windows 98, at which time it would recognize the usb mouse.
Most tell you to hit the delete key when booting to get in to the bios settings.
Compaq a white block will appear in the top right hand corner for about 3 seconds, I believe its the F10 not sure.

if nothing else works, when you after your hit the reset key or turn it off then back on just start pressing keys a bunch of them and it should come up with an error and one of the options will be to enter the set up .

you might have to do this a few times.

Or get the book and it should tell you which key to press when it's booting.
