voodoo5 pci with dvi£¬ now its bios is ver1.11

i want to update to bios1.18 with dvi enable.

when i used flash program, it can't identify my v5's eprom.

how can i do for it?

If you are trying to flash your BIOS from a DOS window within WinXP, it won't work. You have to boot your PC from a boot disk and then flash the BIOS.

I just do it in dos after reboot with a boot cd...

my maiboard is nforce2, perhaps...

if you have a little patience I say all the programs to you and what you must do for flash your BIOS.

and the steps one by one.

thank you, rotor

can you tell me how to do?

i have the files, flash.exe,dos3gw.exe,pci-sd.rom, need more?

You CAN NOT do the flash in a DOS window if you boot to WinXP. You will need to boot to DOS, Win95 or Win98. Ues a boot disk and then do the flash.
If you don't have a boot disk you can get and OS boot disk you want from here.

Good luck.

i boot my pc with a boot disc...but it's not useful

Where did you get your flash utility and BIOS file?
You might have an older flash utility.
To be sure, goto Stanto's site and get what you need there.

Don't forget to read the FAQ section first because most questions are answered there.

i juse got bios file from this web and flash my bios according the FAQ, and failed.

a question : your card, is it a Mac version ?

perhaps it's a mac version card, but it works well in windows xp.
and the version of bios is 1.11

"i want to update to bios1.18 with dvi enable"
Cannot do that. 1.18 bios is only for the AGP cards.

"when i used flash program, it can't identify my v5's eprom."
Most likely because u r using an AGP bios update on a pci card


AFAIK only the mac V5 had a DVI output......which u could do a bios flash to work on pc.



**Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.**

the 1.18 bios with digital output can be used on pci card...

in the page http://welcome.to/3dfxbios it tell how to update your bios if you don´t undertand it.

1º you have a boot disk (Windows 98 SE).

2º you have a flash utility "dos4gw.exe" & the Bios file in other disk.

3º Reboot & insert the boot disk, choose" no cd compatibility" & wait to it finish

4º copy the flash utility & the bios file to Ramdisk,

5º execute the bios utility & flash your bios , wait about 20-30 seconts to finish.

6º reboot.

I believe that that is everything
