    The update in 1.06 was for SSV3 to give us the option to move the EPA to the end unchanged instead of shrinking it, for those who like to see the EPA logo. No oem module is added.

    It doesn't seem to matter what Advanced flags I set, I can't stop 1.06 from shrinking the EPA logo using SSV3 and SLIC (with or without SLP). Is there a trick to this?

    Unless I did something wrong, in advanced tick options under ssv3 tick force method and select epa at end from drop down box.

    Interesting, Yen. I didn't realize Dell was using Award bios in some of their models. Thanks for the info!

    Yes, it's worth to check for that. Dell Vostro 200 / 400 / 410 and Inspiron 530 /530s have got Award.

    They are available to you to add at will. Why worry about what is included in the tool?

    The SLIC.BIN will work, There are 8 v2.1 slic files and 40+ 2.0 slic files. You can use any of them in the tool.

    I dont understand the reason for asking the question..:p

    When the author of a program leaves something out from a previous version, there is some reason to it...at least logically it says that....so, why was it left out, when in previous versions it was there most of the time?
