Upgrading BIOS... In My Computer, highlight your floppy drive. Don't do anything beyond highlighting it. Click File and select Format... Put a dot into the Copy System Files circle and format the floppy. When finished, use Explorer to drag the downloaded file to the floppy. Leave the floppy in the drive and re-start your machine. It should boot from this floppy. If not, you'll need adjust your boot order. Your screen should eventually present you with a prompt "A:\>" or something very similar. It should be black and white text only. Windows should not have loaded. Now, you can execute your downloaded file. Most likely, it will self extract and present further instructions. FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER!!! Hope this helps, PW.
