    Make sure you are using asset.com version 2.09. 2.09 is the only version that supports relatively new Dell desktops

    Hello.I have DELL 1737.I updated to BIOS A7 (must have included slic 2.1) under Dell Windows Vista X64.Now I have Windows 7 x64 and It must be activate, but it isn't.
    Something more seems like my BIOS don't have slic at all.
    My Studio is N series - it means no OS and no SLIC in older BIOS when I received it.
    When I updated to BIOS A7 (it automaticly must add slic 2.1 to my system), but It don't.
    What is wrong here?

    Any idea why? Just currious. Do the modified tables or areas in the BIOS not exist for this model?

    I think what he is saying is your bios is what is called DELL Phoenix Bios and if it was made before Vista and does not contain slic 2.0, it cannot be modified....sorry but that is the limitations of a Dell Phoenix Bios.

    for Dell Phoenix bios, we can only mod for SLIC 2.1 if the bios already contains SLIC 2.0, otherwise not possible at this stage.

    Thanks so much for explaining. Honestly you guys are the BIOS gods and I ask to learn.
    I was reading that a modification on early bioses was to modify the ISA location to add the slic information (if it existed). I guess that type of modification here is out too?
    Like I said, I can live if I don't get this. :) I just have modified a number of bioses with mydigitallife's help, and this is the first that I've come to that dropped the ankor. Perhaps your explanation above addresses my question, and perhaps the link is that the post that I read doesn't apply to Dell Phoenix bioses. ?
    Thanks! I don't mean to waste your time.
