i think something fudged up in the process or before flashing my bios. I chose windows to load only basic drivers, then restarted and flashed bios and loaded. I then selected to load all the ini files and all neccessary start up files. However when windows started it came up with the message

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 bit ms-dos sub system
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

c:\windows\ui\biosctl.exe
x:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The file is not suitable for running ms dos and microsoft windows application. Choose close to terminate the aps.
-----------------------------------------------------------


hardware manager is saying that i have no hardware device installed, it just displays a blank page??? however the graphics card seems to be installed, i can play games?? but all the additional hardware has dissapeared and cannot be reinstalled.

Reinstall Windows! Or try a repair from the bootable Windows CD-ROM
