I want to get the latest BIOS update for my computer, but when I try and run it I get an error (see image)

Make sure you are following all the directions.

I have never updated my BIOS simply because if you don't do it right, you can ruin your whole computer.

Besides I have never been in a situation where an update is needed.

That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby

Hmm... THAT'S not a good sign. I would see about posting that image in the vendor support forums.

I've updated many a BIOS in my day, but I don't think I've seen that message. I did find this thread, which has instructions at the bottom that might prove useful...

OK. I also found this set of instructions. But I can't seem to get into the admin account... But I think I am the admin... x_x

EDIT: Ok, I am the admin, heh XD;
