thank you very much for your prompt reply just out of interest which one is the best one and what does each one do. I obviously know it mods the bios, but it would be nice to know what each one is best for. user 1 -> 6 support HP Pavilion dv6 1. HPBC280.EXE (Compal) 2. HPBFL229.EXE (Flextronics) 3. HPBFO337.EXE (Foxconn) 4. HPBI140.EXE (Inventec) 5. HPBQ145.EXE (Quanta) 6. HPBW068.EXE (Wistron)
These did not work. I got a message saying that it isn't compatible with the version of windows i am running or something to that effect. Thank you though.
