Flashing in Windows Modes doesn't work

I'm running Windows Vista Business, and when I try to update my BIOS in windows mode, it fails.
I'm using MSI Live Monitor 3. After finding the bios (1.5), I use "windows mode" to flash.
A command-line window comes up, and I can see everything getting flashed. However, after it's done it reboots automatically. After both the initial splash-scrren and the SATA-screen showing my drives, I get an CMOS checksum failed error, and I can either start fiddleing with the setting themselves, or just use defaults.
I've tried both.
And after both times, after I get back to windows again, Live Monitor 3 says it has an update for me - bios 1.5. So I can only conclude it wasn't installed, somehow.
Before doing the install, I closed ALL programs, except windows itself. (I'm saying this, because Live Monitor 3 wishes me to close it..........)
I cannot flash via a floppy-drive because I don't have one.
Another problem is that DigiCell keeps telling med: "Failed to load driver". I have no idea what it even IS, but I'd just like to see what free software I get. :P
Thirdly, has anyone heard of problems with external USB drives and MSI mobo's? I have a 500gb My Book drive that throws I/O errors in Vista, but not in XP on another PC...
My PC is:
MSI P965 Platinum,
2.13ghz Core 2 Duo,
2048mb DDR2 RAM, 533 Mhz

Thank you Jack!
It is indeed updated to 1.5 - I just didn't notice, since I had the full-logo thing on.
I also updated the drivers, but unfortunately that didn't help. :-(
I've been trying since friday to fix this both on the WD forum (http://websupport.wdc.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5948) and on Microsoft's tech forum (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices&tid=dc8d09ab-0d98-452c-b2d3-a0948f756dda&cat=en_us_9F280F8D-E6BF-F78C-234A-416CF09D5DC5&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1)
but we've still been unable to fix it...
To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with hardware. The drive doesn't work properly on this PC (MSI / Vista) but does on my laptop (Dell / XP), but it has to be checked...
Basically, it keeps throwing 0x8007045D I/O errors, but I can see noone in here has had similar problems.
So, thank you for your extremely swift replies and very great help!
Regards,
Søren

Q10 I turn Camera Flash On but it Doesn't work IN ALL MODES

I know, especially stupid that it doesn't work in stabilisation mode as its often that mode used in lower light situations that would benefit from the flash... have no idea why BB doesn't allow US to chose when we want a certain function.

Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.

Looks like you are talking about Low-Battery mode...
First make sure that you have turned it ON. After that just see "Activation" section under Low Battery mode to find at what level it has been set to activate.. By default, Low battery mode gets activated at 20% battery level.

Printing (or print preview) a Pie Flash Chart in Firefox doesn't work

In IE is OK.

Any Help?

Are you printing from the Flash right-click menu or through Firefox? I don't think Firefox prints Flash regions when you print the entire page.

UpDated Flash Player last week doesn't work previous ver worked fine

I updated last week when it prompted me to, now websites that i used to use will not work. it just gives me a blank area where the flash animation should be. I have figured out that it has something to do with my firewall. When i disable the firewall flash works with it running it doesn't. I have tested this with http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ . I don't understand why this ver is causing my firewall to block it. I have all the permission i need and the install was run as admin. I have tried reinstalls and using C/Windows/System32/Macromedia/Flash. I think i just need to change a setting on my firewall but i can't find where the addon is since i'm using firefox, i wish i never updated
setup: Vista Bus, Firefox, CA firewall, Flash Ver 10.0.22.87

I have the same problem...I downloaded around noon today and have been trying to figure out all day what is going on. You're situation sounds identical to mine. I was going to play a game that I play regularly and I got in just fine this morning and then at noon it told me to download an updated version of Flash Player I did and it still doesn't work. I really hope someone can answer the question.

Updating flash player and still doesn't work.

Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
So, I did. It says install successful, but it doesn't work. When I check to see if any version is installed, I see the red x. Please help.
I'm using Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3
I.E. 8 32 bit.
P.S. I can use Firefox and Chrome, but I don't like the quality of how Flash Player runs on them.

Hi, I see from the other thread you commented on that the Kill-bit was your problem. Glad that worked for you:-)

New flash player 11 update doesn't work with internet explorer 8

I have Windows 7 and IE 8. This is a home desktop computer.
When the latest update of FlashPlayer 11.5.502.146 was automatically installed on Jan 9, IE8 stopped working. I can navigate to a site, but then it just freezes. I can not click any toolbar or other buttons or links--I can not even close IE--I have to use task manager. If I disable Flashplayer, IE works fine, but then of course no content can be displayed. If I go to a site and then enable Flashplayer, I can't click on anything again, so that doesn't work. HELP. Does the newest update not work with IE8?

I have a similar problem. I've Win XP SP3 with IE 8. For last few months I've noticed that Flash Player is not able to play flash audio/video on a webpage i.e., upon visiting a page the flash player starts loading but it does not finish - a circle keeps rotating - player does not manage to display 'Play' button. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player 11.5.502.146. Also, installed Flash Player 11.6.602.161 from above link. But, with same result.
Same behaviour is repeated in FireFox 18.0.1 with Flash Player 11.5.502.146. It seems that something else is not allowing flash player to play. I've latest Java 7 Upd 13, ZoneAlarm 11 and Avast 7.0.1474.
(Note: I've another PC with Win XP SP3, IE 8 and FireFox 18.0.1 and Flash Player 11.5.502.146 works well. It has Java 7 Upd 13. It has ZoneAlarm 11 and Windows Defender AV)
Can anyone help?

HT4061 Drag and drop function in Windows 8 doesn't work with iTunes.

How to import music files from Windows 8 to iTunes 11.0.3 x64? Drag and drop function doesn't work. Thank you!

> Straight drag and drop to PS produced a warning message so, when I then tried to drag on to the PS task bar button, I got the Ø cursor but on moving into the PS window and releasing the mouse button there, the file opened.
That's the strangest behavior that I would imagine. Are you using the default vista aero theme or you have turned down or using custom theme and visual effects?
> it needs to be pointed out that this is a really bad habit that will smack you in the face one day...
I don't understand what you mean. If you are concerned about viruses, in my understanding copying and opening a file from the internet which is what "Save image as" does, is less safe than coping and pasting pixels. Copying and pasting pixels is the same as coping and pasting text from your web browser, it can't execute hidden code. If that was possible everybody will get viruses at the moment text or pixels are displayed on your browser.
By the way when you view a page from the internet, image files are already downloaded in the temp folder of your computer but only the browser uses them unless you open them from there and use in another program. So if you have a virus protection the images are already scanned.
