BIOS update installation issues

I tried to install the BIOS update:
ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.80 for Satellite A300/A305 (PSAG0U/PSAG4U) (v1.80; 03-24-2009; 4M)
(its called sag0v180.exe when i download it)
this was originally because i kept getting a blue screen(and still am) and windows advised me to update my BIOS and display driver. When i was installing this update, i got a blue screen and so it didn't finish. Now when i try to update it i get a STOP message:
Error:C:/sag0v180/launcher.exe
1418: Shortcut functions: error loading shortcut file
On line 177 of D:/var/Win...ios_launcher/Launcher.wbt
In routine "make_shortcut"
shortcutEdit(linkName, strCat(appdir, '\', 'Launcher.exe'), '', appdir, @Normal)
the grey bit is in a box below the rest.
It also gives me an option to "traceback" - what does that mean?
What exactly does this error mean and what should i do?
please help!

Unit's second digit of serial number is 8.  Same problems were appearing after BIOS 2.3 upgrade. I had taken  photo at the end of flashing BIOS.
It had said at the end System configuration data updated.

    I have a monthly subscription to Muse and everytime I try to install the latest updates Ihave issues. When I try to install directly from MUSE it tells me to check my network connection - which is always fine. I have tried pausing my virus protection etc. I then try to get help from customer support and the fxes do not appear to work etiher. I haveuninstalled and reinstalled etc with no luck -any suggestions

    Try disabling any firewall or antivirus application and re-try updating, also try a different network connection. If that doesn't help, please uninstall and use the following direct download links to install Muse fresh.

  • Acrobat 7.1 update installation issues

    Having spent the best part of a whole day trying to install the latest Acrobat Professional version 7.1 update, I have finally found a solution which I hope may be of use to other sufferers of this problem.
    My system is a dual HD setup with XP on drive C: and Vista on drive F: Acrobat Professional 7 is installed on the XP drive C: and not on the Vista drive.
    All went well with the update on the C: drive until, halfway through the installation an error message popped up saying that it could not acces the folder F:\Windows\Winsxs\Policies.
    This struck me as odd. Why would the programme be wanting to add information to a system folder on the F:(Vista) drive when the installation I am updating is on drive C:(XP) and I am booted up on drive C:
    I duly checked the folder, F:\Windows\Winsxs and found no "Policies" folder within. Furthermore any and every attempt to gain access to that folder for the Acrobat updater failed. I went through all the Attrib commands from the command prompt, tried altering access permissions in safe mode and even booted into Vista to see if anything could be done. All of these actions drew a blank with the folder flatly denying access on all counts.
    During all of this I was scouring the internet to find any similar cases and spotted one where someone had noticed that a "Policies" folder had been added to the Windows\Winsxs directory on a non-boot drive on their machine. Curiously this was after installing the Acrobat 7.1 update.
    Finally I decided to take drastic action and disconnect the F: drive temporarily (luckily the boot.ini file is on the C: drive). I figured that if the programme couldn't see it, it would just get on and install properly on drive C: I am happy to say that my hunch worked and I was finally able to install the update.
    My question for Adobe is, why did this happen? What possible reason could there be for the updater to require access to the other drive.
    Had my dual-boot system been on a single HD my solution to the problem would not have been possible and I would still not be able to install the update.
    I would welcome any comments from other forum members but especially from someone at Adobe Tech Support.

    Geetesh. I have an answer which may work for you.
    For whatever reason the 7.1 installer requires access to the Vista Windows folder in order to install a policies folder in the Winsxs directory. This folder is locked and cannot be written to which, in turn, gives the error.
    As you say, you cannot remove your Vista drive like I did but there is another way around the problem. Access your Vista drive from XP and temporarily rename the Windows folder to something like Windows2. Then create a new folder on the Vista drive and call it Windows. Inside the new Windows folder create another one and call it Winsxs. Now run the 7.1 installer in XP and you should find that it installs without the error. Once you have it installed you can safely rename the new Windows folder you created to something else and change your renamed Windows2 folder back to Windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • BIOS Updates

    Hi!
    I Have a Pavillon a6110n wich had Windows VIsta at the time but now I've upraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate. Since a few weeks i got blue screen when my computer get back from sleep and by searching i've discovered that it would be a BIOS Update Problem... So, i first tried to get the Update from Phoenix-Award but it sent me to BIOS Agent wich is like 50$ to update my components :/ and then, i tried here on HP.com but i realized that the update i was searching for only works with windows Vista
    What can I do?
    Oh and btw I my BIOS is on version 5.09

    Hi theaftermath87,
    If HP is offering a BIOS update that fixes the blue screen problem you are having using Windows 7 then you will have to install this update from within Windows Vista.
    You should also install the update by downloading the HP BIOS update installer package for your PC from HP's support site instead of using HP's Support Assistant.
    HP modifies the BIOS installed on their PC's. You cannot install generic Award, AMI, or Phoenix BIOS updates on an HP motherboard.
    A failed BIOS update will "brick" your PC.

  • Satellite A205-S4629 BIOS Update Fail - File has different BIOS part number

    I have used the Toshiba support download page to identify my model A205-S4629 Satellite laptop and downloaded the following BIOS update utility sa200f0v520.exe.
    After building the IOS install disk and running the Phoenix Phlash16 utility I get the following message "File has different BIOS part number".
    The utility is using the following image file MW10M520.ROM.
    Any input is appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Hi
    As far as I know the BIOS package downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page contains the WinRAR 32-bit self-extracting ZIP file which includes both Windows-based and diskette based BIOS update installation options.
    Did you try to update the BIOS using Win-based BIOS?
    What OS do you use?

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • Hp 630 issue after bios update f.33

    Hello,
    i have an hp 630 linux (suse) version.
    I have buy now a windows 7 cd, and want to switch to that os.
    Before bios update (f.16) the installation was correclty done on the internal HD.
    after the 1st install, i choose to update all and re-install the os (with dual boot)
    now, seems that windows7 installation block saying (italian msg translated, so can be different)
    'impossible to install on that hard disk, check installation log)
    i have already try to do this in a lot of different way (using a live cd to partitioning the hd)
    1. empty partitioning
    2. ntfs partitioning (done on win7 installation)
    3. standard os partitioning (done on win7 installation)
    4. ntfs part on ubuntu livecd
    5. empty partitionind (fdisk on ubuntu live cd)
    the issue standing to internet forum is ahci impl on the notebook, i read that i have to turn it on, but bios doesn't have this option (actually this bios doesn't have a lot of option in any case, that is quite strange, maybe i miss something on how to configure a bios on hp)
    Any help about that?

    does anyone know a way to contact direclty hp via email?
    this issue is quite blocking!

  • MSI-6712 BIOS update issues

    I have a PC, running XP Pro SP3, which was built for me nigh on 9 years ago.
    Motherboard: MSI-6712 (KT4V-L) Version 1.0 (North Bridge KT400A Rev 80, South Bridge VT8235 Rev 00)
    CPU: AMD XP2800+ CPU (Socket A 462, 3000 MHz)
    Memory: 1.0GB DDR
    GPU: nVidia GeForce FX-5200 (128 MB)
    About 4 years back I considered updating the BIOS, but the MS LiveUpdate utility (v 3.5 I think it was) no longer worked (wrong URL). Tried updating it, but the update (can’t remember the version) shut down my system whenever I tried to use it. So I rolled back and left it.
    Recently, a program I was evaluating (running on .Net 4 Client Profile) caused my PC to freeze up and after uninstalling I discovered all manner of problems with USB peripherals (recognition and auto-play issues).
    Tried to restore a backup (Retrospect Express HD) from a Maxtor One Touch III external drive but it wasn’t having it, presumably because of the drive recognition issues, and a straight System Restore wouldn’t complete (because XP would freeze at log off). 
    I feared there had been hardware damage, but decided to try a clean re-install of XP Pro. The person who built the PC had left a folder of system set up files (VIA chipset 4in1, LAN, RealTek AC97, nVidia drivers, utilities etc) on the hard drive (which I backed up) but when it came to installing XP, I couldn’t figure out which chipset drivers to install, as there were multiple versions (presumably for his purposes). So I let XP install the default windows drivers and then replaced them with the latest VIA 4in1 set for the KT4V-L from the MSI download page (can’t post link) – driver version 5.11a, release 20.4.2007
    Seemed to go well, but it was suggested to me that it might be a good time to update the BIOS. So I installed MSI Live Update 5 and ran a scan. Strange thing is that an automatic scan (which pulls up just the nVidia driver and utilities) reports that none are installed and a manual scan reports that the BIOS, Drivers and Utilities are the latest version and no there is need to update. How can that be? I’ve never updated the BIOS and the only other utility I re-installed is PC Alert 5.
    Yet when I run a SIW (System Information for Windows) scan and it reports the following:

    How is it that Live Update 5 doesn’t pick this up?
    So, apologies for the convoluted post (thought it best to explain the events leading to this), but what to do?
    1.   Do I need to update the BIOS, given that it has never been done and I now have the latest VIA 4in1 drivers installed?
    2.   Why is Live Update 5 not reporting the status correctly and is there anything I can do to correct this.
    3.   Otherwise, if a BIOS update, is warranted, should I go ahead and download directly from the Global MSI webpage and then which version? (can’t post link). I note from the version descriptions that it was v1.7 (26/12/2002) that added support for AMD XP 2800. Strange then that the guy who put together my PC, would not have updated the BIOS from v1.0 to 1.7 at that time!!
    4.   Should I also update the nVidia driver, and if so, when? Before or after a BIOS update or is that irrelevant?

    5.   One other thing that concerns me is that the SIW scan reports that the BIOS is reporting wrong values for the DDR memory. What’s that about?

    Sorry for cross-posting to another forum, but this has got me in a twizzle
    http://www.windowsbbs.com/pc-hardware/89688-need-ram-recommendations-msi-kt4v-l-2.html#post493343
    According to the poster (Post #30), the KT4V-L can support 3gB DDR400. 
    I looked at the MB in my PC and it is in fact stamped MS-6712 KT4AV v10A (assumed 1.0A ). Both CPU-Z and SIW report it as a MS-6712 v1.0 (BIOS 07.00T  04/02/01, Firmware 101.114)
    According to the MSI product webpage, the only difference between the KT4AV and KT4AV_L is that the latter includes an (optional) on-board 10/100 LAN.
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=Detail
    The ethernet port on my PC is (as described in Device Manager) is a Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter, whereas in the listed MSI specifications, the optional 10/100 LAN is stated to be a VIA VT6103 LAN controller. So possibly then I was mistaken in assuming that my MB is a KT4AV-L.
    Even so, if the statement about the KT4AV-L supporting 3gB DDR400 is true, surely this also applies to the KT4AV ?
    Looking at the available BIOS updates on the MSI page, I can see no mention of an upgrade in DDR400 capacity:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=BIOS
    Edit: Ah, the guy in the post specifically refers to a KT4V-L v1.1 not KT4AV-L and I see that it is different product:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V---KT4V-L--v1-0-.html#/?div=Detail
    What's confusing is that they all designated as MS-6712. So if anyone, like me, does a look up under MS-6712 they could pull up either version, and since the KT4AV/L and KT4V/L have different BIOS update series, I can see how someone could easily flash the wrong BIOS.
    That aside, the memory specifications for the KT4V/L are essentially the same as those in the User Guide that came with my KT4AV:
    Supports up to 3GB PC1600/2100/2700/3200* DDR SDRAMs
    *See Glossary for recommended DDR400 modules - with the largest listed module capacity being 2 x 512MB
    So where does this "up to 3GB DDR400 capacity" notion come from. I'd really want to believe it. And if the guy in the PC shop is to be believed, I'd settle for just 2GB.
    Edit 2: Oh, boy, so there is a separate product listing for the KT4V-L v1.1:
    http://us.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V-L--v1-1-.html#/?div=Detail
    Yet, the memory specifications appear to be the same as those for the other MS-6712 versions and BIOS updates are the same as those for the KT4AV-L (very confusing). In fact the downloadable User Guide is the same  - 'KT4AV MS-6712 (v1.X) ATX Motherboard'.
    Am I missing something here?

  • X220 BIOS Update issue

    Hi
    I recently flashed my BIOS (going from 1.26 -> 1.31) prior to installing Windows 7 x64 on a new SSD on my X220. The BIOS update seemed to work OK (I used the lenovo Windows utility to do it), but now I can't save any changes to any BIOS settings. I also cannot reset to defaults - I can't even select some options in the BIOS (e.g. anything to do with UEFI) - the cursor just skips over the lines on screen - and those I can select don't respond to any changes I try to make. I don't get any errors either in BIOS or in Windows, and my X220 boots OK, but obviously there's something wrong there.
    After updating the BIOS, I installed the SSD (a Samsung 830) and installed Windows on it - all this worked OK although I was planning to switch to UEFI for the new install and couldn't do so because the BIOS is now uneditable. Everything in Windows seems to work OK.
    I've tried re-running the BIOS utility but it reports that the BIOS is up to date and it won't re-apply the current update. 
    I've checked to see if anyone else has reported this issue here, and found a few reports with similar issues but different situations (e.g. people running Linux rather than Windows, or Wifi not working after the update) - but not this issue exactly.
    I'm wondering if this will fix itself when a new BIOS version is released and applied - if that's likely, I'm happy to wait until then (so long as nothing breaks in the meantime). I'd rather do that than pull the CMOS battery (which has been recommended on a few similar threads on here) - but given that the BIOS seems to now be frozen on my machine I'm not sure if future updates will even work.
    Has anyone else seen this issue?

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    Please try updating the Bios using bios.bak file which is created during bios update .
    You need to locate the bios file folder on c drive  , then find bios.bak   rename  it with FLASHABLNew.ROM
    And click on winplash.exe ,  use Browse  option  to " Specify new Bios file "  and select FLASHABLNew.ROM
    Then click on flash bios  , it will flash a message that the bios you are trying to update is older than current version , Press Yes to continue
    Press Yes , If every thing goes well , your system will restart and you will have your old bios were you can modify or change any option
    Now delete the folder which has the latest bios
    Download the latest bios and try to flash to check if you are able to modify or change any option under Bios
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!
