try F1, or better yet look at the documentation (if you have it, if you don't, the compaq site might)
Usually, you hit F10 when you see a cursur blink in the upper right hand corner. Give that a try. Compaqs are a little screwy when it comes to entering the BIOS.
Also, the "Compaq MV5500" is a monitor, not the actual model of the machine. How about getting the model up here and we might be able to nail the actual keystrokes needed.

I had a compaq once and if I remember corectly I think it was f12 on mine. If that doesn't work keep hitting delete, f1, f9, f10, it should eventually come up.
