make that optPlex GX270(messed up the T...:/.)

A01 is the original BIOS version. You can get the newest flash from Dell Support's website.

Bear in mind though, if it flashes wrong, it can break your system badly so only flash it if you desperately need a fix or feature (e.g i had to upgrade my 5150 in order to get vista and linxu to work with the inbuilt sound card)

sooo at the risk of damaging my system..ic an remove a minor problem.....hmm....minor problem it is.(as i do share this computer and my sister would have my head i fi hurt it or her files in anyway...:/.)..siblings are such..fun?..

Optiplex GX270 yeah?

Fixes and Enhancements:

1. Add support for newer processors
2. Added keypad number key checking for flash password
3. Improve 16-bit flash code
4. Improve USB keyboard detection
5. Improve USB enumeration for multiple USB devices
6. Correct problems seen when CD-ROM boot is the first bootable device in boot sequence.

Download and run it. Once its done it will ask you to reboot (check all drives are empty!!!!!)

Upon reboot it will update the BIOS. DO NOT turn off your pc or do anything while it is updating.

it should be fine.

k will try that nx weekend..( i have to study this week bla..and nx week ....and then finally week after....so saturdays are my best bet when i dont work.)..so yeah

Lemurexplosion: just some friendly advice...you said you can't type and it is really confusing and laughable to see all your typographical errors. How about looking down on the keyboard while you're typing and then since you said you can "spell" how about then "previewing" your typed messages before posting them. Maybe that'll help all of us here trying to make sense of your nonsensical typo errors. Give it a try!

I usually post and then click edit about 4 times

I usually read what I wrote. Then I edit and edit and edit....
