Which utils do I need for this exe and how can I upgrade correct?

Hi ajzchips!

I miss your post when you try to help some other guys:

Double click on the file. It'll either create a bootdisk for you, or decompress some files into a directory of your choice.
If the latter case, then create a boot disk and copy the files onto it.

I have bootup diskete now,so I try to update my bios !I hope everithing will be fine

Thanx again for your help ajzchips and take care!

ajzchips, I have sucesfull update the bios and work nice!
When I flash the bios and restart computer I load bios defoult.In this computer I have instaled windows me now and I have only one problem.
When I choose shut down the computer only restart and never shut down.

I think I must set some funkcion in bios,but I don't know which one.
Can you help me again?

[ajzchips]

Windows ME? Are both ACPI and APM enabled? Did Windows ME install as ACPI? (Check your Windows Device Manager).

[Rudi1]

This guestion to seem is not linking to bios problem,so I just like to Thank you again ajzchips for help find update bios!

Those shutdown-reboots are very frequently bios-related, so I wouldn't give up yet.

as XP stresses your memory much more. if something is wrong it will show up rightaway...

[Rudi1]

When I'am in safe mode and turn computer off I have no problem and the computer turn off sucesfull,but in normal mode just restart,maybae something wrong with windows......?

does exist any programme to copy all bios settings?

[Rudi1]
