Am I crazy or is it the instructions of Flashing?

I am trying to Flash my MoBo an have downloaded the latest version from the MSI site.
I see in a word document that it says:
"WARNING!!!!!
DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!
DON'T FLASH WHEN YOUR SYSTEM IS RUNNING FINE!!!!
DON'T FLASH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!"
OK. So no Floppy! When I keep reading up on it it tells me the following:
"5.Boot the computer using a windows ME or windows 98 startup disk. It must be one of these! A plain boot disk will not be good enogh.
If you do not have Windows ME or 98 to create the floppy you can make one on a friend's computer.
And so on. I am aware that I am using a MoBo that is rather "old" by now, but to say that one should avoid Floppys and then gove instructions "ONLY" how to flash it from floppys is to say the least strange... How do I do to Flash my MoBo? I have downloaded the 6728v25 file and the only reason I have done that is because my printer isn't found when I try to find it. But forget about the printer and focus on the oxymoron that MSI is giving to its cutsomers!

LOL are your system not running fine right now? You can boot from floppy, but make sure your BIOS files are in your HARDDISK when you're flashing it. That's why.

    I  was printing last night and my HP6500  all-in-one started blinking like crazy and now even the test print page wont print. Control panel says it's fine, which obviously it's NOT.
    Any ideas?

    Yikes...a 200 error...while the official KB for that is not presently available, the usual fix is to reload your OS...something during the update did not go right.

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

    Bob,
    They did not mean the Store;  they meant the Store menu on the iTunes menu bar!  It is in a row with File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, and Help, as shown below.
    If you don't see the menu bar, enable it by holding the CTRL key and pressing B.

  • I have the latest version of firefox and I tried to follow the instructions for cookies, only the instructions seems out of date. How do I fix this?

    I have to adjust my cookies and I found the instructions on your site. When I followed the instructions, I found that it seems for an older version and not the new one. The privacy settings are not the same as they once were and I can't make any adjustments to may cookies except to delete them.
    What I could do was go to the 'Firefox' tab at the top left corner, go to history, Clear recent history, and so on. I can't make any adjustments to a single cookie. It's all or nothing.
    Are there any other ways for me to make the adjustments?

    To restore the classic menu bar, you can do any of these:
    orange Firefox button > Options > Menu Bar
    tap the Alt key > View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    right-click a blank area of the tab bar or navigation bar > Menu Bar

  • I'm trying to follow the instructions on how to recover my profile if it's been lost , and I'm having lots of problems.

    I updated to FF4 and nothing worked, so I downloaded 3.6 and installed it again. The instructions for recovering my profile tell me to find my profile, which I did, but then I'm supposed to copy my old profile to my new profile. How do I find my new profile? I only see one in the C:\documents and settings\blah blah blah\Firefox\Profiles folder, and it's apparently the default (f9wohz9p.default). It looks like my old profile. Where am I supposed to copy it? Can't I just set something so that the 'profile pointer' (a concept I just made up) just points to my old one? Or maybe fill in some parameter somewhere to say where the profile is? I used to think I was a computer expert; now I'm not so sure.

    Thanks.  The carrier is Verizon.  My new phone has a Verizon Sim card.  I can't find any evidence of that on the old one.

    I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed.  I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me  out of this passcode ****!

    Hi DRussell,
    If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

    I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Many thanks

    Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta.

  • I need to know how to delete downloaded videos and movies from iTunes when the instructions on the support page does not work.  I have swiped the selections from left to right on the phone and nothing happens.

    Hello.
    I need help deleting videos, tv shows, and movies downloaded from itunes.  I have followed the instructions to delete from the macbook, I selected the videos I wanted to delete and right clicked to delete.  Nothing happens.  When I double click on the video it still starts playing.  I also followed the instructions to delete the videos from the iphone by swiping from left to right with nothing happening.  I opened the videos on the ipad and there is no edit selection like in the instructions on the support page. Can you please tell me how to permanently remove this content so it doesn't try to copy from each device when I want to back up the Iphone and Ipad to my macbook.  Thank you.

  • I just updated to Firefox 4 and my Roboform toolbar disappeared. Following the instructions on your site and Roboform's site did not help. It doesn't appear in the Customize Toolbar window nor in the Extensions list. How can I get it back?

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

  • How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

    How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

    You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.
