Hi i have a problem i cant update my bios i for some reason i still have the very first version and haven't updated it before so i thought i go straight to v1.5 i thought it was and when i try to click on the .exe file it says that: this version is not compatible with the windows you use. which is weird because i have windows 7 home and it should be supported i do have all other drivers installed with no problems at all :S

(i did try to install the older updates but it gives the same error message)

i hope someone can give me a answer cause i have looked everywhere :S

Did you download the file corresponding to the correct architecture of your system?

Click Start>Right Click Computer>Click Properties>Look under System, you should see Manufacturer, Rating, Processor, Installed memory(RAM), System type <--System type is what will tell you what you're architecture is. If it's 64-bit, then you need to download the x64 file version, if it's 32-bit, then you need to download the x86 file version.
