Installation Download the BIOS file to the desktop, and then perform the following steps. Note: This BIOS update runs in Windows using the WinPhlash utility. Before starting this procedure, close or disable ALL programs. This includes active anti-virus scans and programs in the systray. Close programs in the systray by right-clicking, or alternate-clicking, each icon, and then if available, clicking Disable, Exit, or Close. Because many programs can affect the way this flash is completed, it is critical that all programs are closed. 1. If you have not already done so, locate and double-click the 9313.exe file that you originally downloaded from the Internet and execute the file. Files extract to the C:\Cabs\9313 folder. 2. In Windows Vista, locate and then right-click the C:\Cabs\9313\SWinFlash.exe file. Choose Run as administrator. 3. In the User Account Control dialog box, Click Allow. 4. To start the process, click Flash BIOS. 5. In the next dialog box, click OK. 6. The BIOS is flashed. 7. After the BIOS has completed, the computer automatically restarts in 10 seconds or, to restart immediately, you can click Restart. Removal Because a computer must have a BIOS to operate, there is no removal process. The BIOS cannot be removed after it has been upgraded. Troubleshooting If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try the process again following the steps listed in the Installation section of this document. If you are still unable to flash the BIOS, verify that you are actually attempting to flash the correct BIOS for your Gateway notebook computer. If this process still fails, contact technical support. Reason for Update This BIOS update includes updates for the video BIOS.
