Why isn't this BIOS flash procedure working for me?

I downloaded the 875P Neo BIOS 2.0 and I flashed it according to directions.  After booting to DOS using a Win 98 startup disk and running the flash program, I see a series of triangles/arrows as it first erases the flash ROM and then a second series of triangles as it programs the ROM.  The it says it is verifying the ROM and then it says "Success."  
This is all sounds great, but keep reading.
When I re-boot, i get four short beeps, a delay, then one beep, then the logo startup screen comes up.  I press the DEL key to go to the setup menu.  I set a couple things including disabling the logo startup screen so I can see the POST info. I save the settings, and it reboots again, this time showing the POST screen.
Here's the problem, it shows on the POST screen that I have Amibios _version 1.2_ (dated 4/23/2003).  I have reflashed now several times to no avail.  I tried with version 1.9 to see if that would do anything.  Everything seems to go fine while flashing, but every time I'm stuck back at version 1.2.  A Win utility (AIDA32) confirms that my system BIOS date is 4/23/03.
I looked for a setting that locks the BIOS, but if it's there, I couldn't find it.
Please help.  What am I doing wrong?  
Thanks for any help.

Thanks.  I'm really stumped here.  I've re-flashed at least 4 times with the same effect each time.
There is one additional thing that may or may not be useful here.  Every time I flash the BIOS, I actually have to re-boot twice before I can use the machine.  On the first re-boot, I get the four beeps, then one beep, then one beep, then one beep, (etc, etc on the one beep until I re-boot again).  The video never even kicks in, so I can't see what is going on.  After re-booting a second time, I get the four beeps, one beep, video kicks on, and it's as I described above.

  • Why isn't the popup blocker exception working for sites I have added? It still asks me to "allow" them.

    Even though I have added sites to the Exceptions in the Popup Blocker preferences, I constantly have to press the Allow button to actually go to the next window. The sites are staying in the Exceptions list and I can get there, but something clearly isn't working properly.

    I have been adding each domain name that pops up that's different from the original website and Firefox is still asking me to "Allow" it. Very frustrating...

    They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone.  Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on. 
    Now what?  This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
    Thank you!

  • I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5.  Can't do it, except for 1 at a time.  I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer.  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5.  I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution.  Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos!  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
    If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
    You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.

    Hi
    my name is Al-Ameen, Am from Nigeria,actually my brother from the united kingdom sent me an iphone5, So when i insert my Sim card i discovered the iPhone is locked.
    So the reason why am sending this mail is to ask for the procedure of how to unlock an iPhone from another country the amount paid and all the other information about unlocking an iPhone.
    Hope to hear back from you guys.
    Many Thanks
    Al-Ameen.

    You need to contact the carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. You may need to talk to your brother about this.

  • I rented a movie on iTunes via iPad with the intention of watching it on AppleTV later at home. Why isn't this showing up in my account on AppleTV?

    I rented a movie on iTunes via iPad with the intention of watching it on AppleTV later at home. Why isn't this showing up in my account on AppleTV (or in  iTunes on my computer for that mater)? Apple promotes the rental service as being able to allow viewers to watch, start/stop, content on all account related iOS devices.

    It would be nice but I've never seen them explicitly advertise that.
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:

    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Flash only works for one user

    Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
    have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
    When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
    either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
    Player."
    JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
    installed.
    So does anyone know what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
    account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
    1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
    control by following the instructions stated in
    tn_14157.
    2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
    issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
    instructions stated in
    fb1634cb.
    Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
    having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
    user accounts.
    As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
    would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
    the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
    would work.

  • Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

    Hi,
    For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
    I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
    Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
    thanks,
    Steve

    HI,
    For user A on my computer
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install the most recent version of Flash here.
    Now repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
    If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

  • Will Flash programming work for this...

    Hello,
    We have a website (www.sportsoutfit.com) and we offer custom stringing for lacrosse heads. I want to create a program that a customer opens up, they can pick what lacrosse head they want, the stringing style and colors. I want them to be able to see the head as they build it and have the colors and stringing style change as they change their options. Is this something flash can do? I am open for suggestions! Thanks.
    Bob

    Additional considerations you might have are:
    Is this just for the website visitor to see, but do nothing else with after they "build" the item? This is fairly achievable with the skills that most modestly experienced Flash developers have.
    This application would need to contain (or load in) all images of the various categories (multiple heads, multiple strings/colors, etc.). Then you need to determine what kind of interaction you want the visitor to experience in order to build their custom product. For example, something that goes along with "Click a head from below, and then choose a string style and color".
    Then, do you want the customer to be able to save this designed product, for purposes of creating an actual product order, that your shop would actually get the details from and build from? This increases the technical specifications & needs of the entire project, and requires lots of skill beyond just Flash.
    Flash is GREAT for the presentation part of this experience, but you'd need to discuss with your web development/IT team to figure out how to handle the transmission of data.

  • Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

    I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
    For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
    I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
    I am baffled. Help!

    Hope this information helps you. IE7 and IE8 have more security and therefore use is restricted, i.e. Administrative and User classifications, etc.
