    I need to add a SLP to an old Phoenix bios, however when I try to use Andy's tool, the slp section is greyed out/Disabled. How can I get the string added?
    Thanks :cool:

    No, PCs came out before Windows XP (Circa 2000), built for Windows ME.(Hardware has been upgraded since then, just the same motherboard.)

    Thanks for your help, That tool returned the "Manufacturer" string as a modifiable, however when I click modify and type in the new string, then click Write, it doesn't change the string.
    What can I do to fix this?
