| Vista 32bit | Problem updating BIOS I'm trying to update the bios of my dell dimension e521, AMDx2 5600+, 2GB with a genuine Dell update, but Vista keeps telling me to log in as a administrator.... My rights in Vista are set as an Administrator, so I don't see why I can't update my Bios... Please help! Thnx! |

| Vista 32bit | Re: Problem updating BIOS Well, my machine stalls at bios boot up, sometimes it starts up normally, but most of the time I have to do a hard reset and then after a couple of times it finally boots...
