yea it did..i got it on my other email though......THANKS!!!!!

I just re-sent

no worries, i got it the first time i think.....thanks again it works like a charm!!

can someone send the latest bios that fixes the overlay issue
to the following address?

jaujen at hotmail.com ?

thanx a bunch.

Hey, is it just me, or do we all get the 30 second memory count-up (I have 1Gb) at boot time with the new bios??! I can't seem to find a setting to turn it off. Very annoying!

I've also noticed this - see my post here. I usually hibernate, so the memory check doesn't bother me as much...

I'm actually also noticing that my fan has been on low for a while. I just got in to work this morning - my laptop had been idle all night (I hope!), and the fan was on. It's been on the last half hour now. MobileMeter shows the CPU temperature at between 43-45.

I'll monitor this throughout the day and see what happens.

Dude! MobileMeter!! Thanks for the tip! I've tried a bunch of useless programs to measure cpu temp but none of them worked!! Thanks!
Download MobileMeter for those who want it...
I did the arctic silver thing when I upgraded to a 3.2ghz cpu and it sure would have been nice if I had MobileMeter when I did it.. Right now it shows a temp of 50c with a bunch of adobe, macromedia and ms office software running... High, but not that high me thinks...

About the memory count, I haven't restarted yet after the flash, so let's hope it's going bye bye next time...

Off topic maybe but it concerns the bios as well: I've tried to get my iomega usb floppy to boot, but that seems like a no no. Anybody managed to get any other usb floppy to boot?? (I had to use WinPlash to flash the new bios, and that was some scary seconds)

That only happens the first time you restart your computer after you have flashed the new bios..it does it with every other new bios as well.

can someone send the new 5680 bios to me? xindan80@gmail.com

did you use the win 98 boot disk I sent with the e-mail (was in the RAR)

no i didnt....i just loaded it on to a disk and ran it from there....however it did say i was missing certain files, but it just bypassed that and updated the bios

thanks again warden

Could someone please email the BIOS to me at wahyagar at cox.net?

I'd really appriciate it

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.

i noticed that after you update the bios, the video and core memory has gone down to 344/243......anyone have similar results and what do u guys recommend as the max core/memory

i think i remember having it at 350/250? or was it 400/250
