| 290605 | 2004-11-13 03:45:00 | apparently you can re flash by using a floppy, im having a look on google now did you save the old version when it asked you? |

| 290606 | 2004-11-13 03:53:00 | Flash it back to the old version. It's possible you flashed an inappropriate version for your board on. If so, you're lucky it managed to POST. In some cases you might as well have flashed it with an MP3 :D. So, if you made a backup then just flash to that, if not - try and get the old version from the net. If you know anyone else with an IDENTICAL board to yours you can copy their BIOS to a .BIN file and flash that on. Alternatively, try reinstalling Windows with the new bios. George |

| 290607 | 2004-11-13 03:57:00 | but he cant get into windows, i wonder if it will boot from the cd, he cant get into safe mode..... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 290608 | 2004-11-13 04:04:00 | Can still boot off CD and Floppy though. That's normally how one would flash the BIOS. It can be done in Windows too, of course (on some boards). But it always can be done in DOS. Just make a bootable DOS floppy in any PC, and copy on the flash utility and the BIOS image. Just remember, accident or not, if you, your cat, dog, child trips over the power cord you have a paperweight. George |

| 290609 | 2004-11-13 04:50:00 | hi all. Thanks for all ya help & advice Yea, i downloaded an earlier version (7 in total on the site, latest one link was broken, so i had downloaded ver 6 - which stuffed up, ended up downloading v2) And yip, that worked, so phew! Back on my pc now, and all this, and it still does the same thing (back to teh memory thing now...) I had a look at all my processes and nothing looks like the one mentioned - i had done a full scan on NAV 04 with latest Defs this morning aswell I also ran End It All (great prog) and tried playing files in media plyer again - but still the same. |

| 290612 | 2005-11-17 01:09:00 | I had the same problem. I had a codec pack that was causing the problem called Nimo. After I uninstalled it, everything was fine. Greg |
