Why can't Sager or PC Torque just post the bios update so people don't have to go around asking other people. This is just silly.

Truthfully, because a bios flash--though much safer than it once was--still carries a small risk.

Back when flashable bios was still a new idea, a bad flash (or an improper flash) could kill a system and necessitate a replacement of the bios chip. I cannot remember the last time I hosed a system with a flash, but it DOES happen--especially if people don't follow directions (in the case of a notebook, the number one issue is people flashing while on battary)

The rule is -- flash if you are experiencing a problem.. Many people flash just because it's new.

I never even asked Sager to send me the BIOS, but I had reported the problem some time ago and when the BIOS came out, they sent it to me out of the blue.

OK, I give up. No reply from Sager yet. Can someone be nice enough to shoot me an email with the new BIOS? My email is rzk2468@yahoo.com

Thanks to the folks who sent me the BIOS, as since the upgrade the video playback issue is gone

Thanks Warden for sending the Win98 disk, I keep a Dos 6.1 clean boot disk around for bios updates, so I didn't need it, but wanted to acknowledge anyway.
