Vostro1510: BIOS upgrade A15 fails

Hi,

 

I have been trying to update my BIOS from A13 to A15 a few times but everytime I am getting the following error:

I have tried this in both Windows Vista and Windows 7 and also under Administrator account.

 

Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks,

McoreD

    BIOS Upgrade requires a 32-bit operating system: Windows Vista 32-bit.

    The installation would fail on a 64-bit operating system such as Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.

    This would unwilling require the user to maintain a 32-bit operating system as a parallel installation while using a 64-bit operating as the main operating system.

    Hi

    My friend i suggest you to dont update your bios (A13) to (A15),  I have Vostro 1510 I updated it but the problem will be the media key (stop bottom) starts to flash when your laptop is charging and when bing fully charge .

    This flashing cause that you cant play movies or music....and some times it hanged and u should manualy make your system off. This  version of Bios (A15) has problem and DELL didnt still fix that , and always saying we are working on it ....

    For thouse who update that to A15 and have problem with that flashing on media key i suggest them easy way is using to disable that bottom :emotion-1:  webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
