Boris Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 It must have an FCC-ID no. to be used in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Belarc doesn't seem to identify the scanner I have. I presume thats because its USB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ellas Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 heres how From Windows XPInsert a blank floppy disk into the PC. Click Start, Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs, then select the Startup Disk tab. Click Create Disk. An Insert Disk window will appear. Click OK to start the process. This process will take a few moments. The progress percentage bar will appear and begin to move toward 100%. When the percentage bar disappears, the process is complete. Click OK. Leave the newly created boot disk in the PC. Close all open windows and programs, then restart the PC. After restarting from the startup disk, a DOS prompt (A:/>) will be displayed. At the A:\> prompt, type C:, then press ENTER.

Guest ellas Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 then At the C:\> prompt, type cd\msi\biosupdt, then press ENTER. At the C:\MSI\BIOSUPDT> prompt, type biosupdt, then press ENTER. Select Option 1 to view the modes supported for this update to verify that this is the correct BIOS update for the PC. Select Option 2 to proceed with the update. This process will take a moment. After the process is completed, remove the floppy disk from the A: drive and restart the PC. When the screen is seen, immediately press the F1 key. Press F5 to set up defaults. When the Setup Confirmation window appears, press ENTER. Press F10 to save and exit. When the Setup Confirmation window appears, press ENTER. The BIOS update process is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
