Boot into MS-DOS or "Safe mode and command prompt" if you are using Windows95/98 b. Run "ic711.exe" to extract all files. c. Run "runme.bat" *** Please notice that we suggest you flashing the bios with switches "/py /sn /cd /cp /cc /cks /R" or by "runme.bat". d. For more detail, please visit: http://fae.abit.com.tw/cht/download/bioshelp.htm (Chinese) http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/bioshelp.htm (English) 2.After BIOS updated, pull off the power cord and then clear the CMOS data via jumper before restarting system please. ============================================================================
