    Yes, In the Command Prompt,If I type in the commands below, a Phoenix phlash16 error will come up.

    F.BAT (ENTER) ERROR:cannot flash if memory managers (e.g EMM386) present

    PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /O /Force /X /C /S: ERROR File open failed on BIOS.WHP

    PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /O /Force /X /C /S (ENTER): ERROR File open failed on (ENTER)

    PH161700 /O /C /S BIOS.WPH (ENTER)ERROR:cannot flash if memory managers (e.g EMM386) present

    I tried many diffrent commands with majority saying the errors above.

    Dos != Windows Command Prompt.
    you cant flash in WINDOWS, you have to make a bootable USB, copy files over and flash it. the instruction on how to create a bootable USB is in Extras folder.

    Alright, This is exactly what I did,
    I created a bootable USB by using the HP USB Disk Storage format tool and followed the create a bootable USB instuctions

    I WINRAR extracted the 161700exe, F.BAT, BIOS.WPH to the bootable USB.

    I then went on Windows Command Prompt, typed in F: in order to use Bootable USB

    Then I put in F.BAT, and many other commands to see if it would work. Everything came up in error

    look, once you created a bootable usb and copied all necessary files. restart your computer, at restart when the bios logo appears, make sure you press some key (it could be F1, F2 down to F9) to enter boot menu, then select USB Storage to boot from. then and only then type F.BAT.
