This package contains utilities that can be used to restore or update the system BIOS on the supported desktop models with a 786D1 BIOS.

Several methods for changing the BIOS version may be chosen. Included in this package are the following methods:

- Use the DOS utility with a preboot execution environment (PXE) management application or to locally update or restore the system BIOS.
- Use HPQFlash to upgrade the BIOS directly in a Microsoft Windows environment.
- Create a CD image to upgrade/restore system BIOS.

NOTE: Please consider the following information when using System Software Manager (SSM):
- A version of SSM later than version 1.71x is required to support case-sensitive and 32-character passwords (planned to be available in August 2005).

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Adds support for full-speed hubs with endpoint numbers greater than 1.

FIXES:
- Fixes an issue where the system stops responding (hangs) while Microsoft Windows is loading when keys are pressed and multiple keyboards are present. The BIOS now checks USB UHCI controllers for ownership changes or halt state before attempting runtime device enumeration.

PREREQUISITES:
None

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the file by clicking the "Download" or "Obtain Software" button and saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where the downloaded file is saved).

2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.



One of the most vital parts when using a computer is to keep its drivers and applications up to date. This thing is as important as it is for an anti-virus to keep updated to the most recent virus signatures.

We invite you to visit FamousWhy.com as often as possible to stay updated not only on the latest drivers but also on your software, games and so on...

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
