Re: [TenTec] Service Pack 2 Won't Install (off topic!!)

Jim,

It's possible that your motherboard requires a BIOS upgrade.

You should find it at the motherboard manufacturers web sit, usually in 
support or download areas.

It is important to establish which board is fitted to your computer and what 
the current BIOS version is.
The method of finding your current BIOS version should also be on the 
manufacturers web.

This is an issue even with some relatively new boards, eg: Intel D865GLC.

Hope this helps.

Paul MW0CDO.
