Hi --
I have had my Asus A7V266-E motherboard since December 26, 2001. I've been experiencing a number of system stability problems and want to upgrade to the latest Bios. I downloaded the file "ae1005.zip" from the support site, but I have Windows 2000 so I am not sure how to load the new Bios. I installed the other updates for ata100 and 4in1 today also. So my biggest question here is <b>"how do I load the new Bios onto a windows 2000 system?"</b>
I had no problem with this back when I had 98, but I guess its different in 2000.
Also, I tried loading the Asus Probe software on my computer today, and as the install began it froze the computer -- now when I boot up the system, it prompts with the following error when the Windows 2000 login screen comes up:
<i>WINNT\system32\drivers\aslm75.sys device driver could not be loaded. Error status was 0xc000012f</i>
Every time I try to load the Asus Probe software now it freezes in that same place during installation. It installed fine the first time, however something corrupted my registry and I had to reinstall Windows fully a while back... now it doesn't work. Anyone know what's up with this, seen it before?
One other thing is when I boot the system, it hangs for 30 seconds or more while trying to detect the Promise 100... I am not using RAID at the moment. I heard that the latest Bios will allow this to be fixed - please let me know if this is not so and suggest the appropriate procedure to fix it.
Thanks a ton... I've wrote to Asus (what no phone support?! hehe) but have been waiting and no reply.
Peace.
