thats all it says.

It appears that that 2nd file (Save) is to save your current BIOS.

Do you know how that is listed? xxxxxxx.bin ???

the file on the floppy disk is ca64bcab.bin. do u want the xxxxxxxx.bin for the bios that is on there now? if so how do i find that out? thanks

At one point you said you had the same BIOS. Did you see a BIOS #?

It is probably listed as you boot up the machine.

Award modular v6.00pg that all i can find on the start up of the computer

does this help?

Just going by what I would try.........

I would try: backup.bin

ok i did that and got to the next stage thanks but i load the new bios and it said write ok and once it finished that it came to a choice to press f1: reset f2:exit and i reset like it said in the guide thing but it still says the bios is v6.00pg and nothing has changed???

It is the same BIOS. The version of 4/23/01 was the last update.

I was hoping that flashing it would repair any problems.

Are you still experiencing the same problems?

ok thanks i just turned off the computer then turned it back on and all was fine but if it happens again ill post it up but i think it is all fixed Thanks!!!!
