Preparing your computer

Before updating your computer's BIOS, enter the current BIOS Setup Utility and write down each of the current settings.

A blank floppy disk is required to initiate the BIOS update.


Copying the files

2.  In the Run dialog box, in the Open text box, type the path and location of the 7510446.EXE file, for example, C:\Cabs\7510446.exe.   Click OK.  The files are extracted to the C:\Cabs\7510446 directory.

3.  On the desktop, double-click the My Computer icon. 

4.  In the My Computer window, double-click drive C, and then double-click the Cabs folder.  If you do not see any files, click View the entire contents of the drive.

5.  In the Cabs folder, double-click the 7510446 folder.

6.  In the 7510446 folder, on the Edit menu, click Select All.
