HI... welcome! Yeah, I think we need a little more info.

Like what motherboard, what application, and so on.

Is this a Windows based BIOS tool, or a typical bootdisk floppy updater?

Thanks for the replies.....I downloaded it from Major 'Geeks Bios downloads....it's called just that BIOS Information Tool. The screen that flashes by is black like a comman prompt screen.
I should have told you I'm 69 years old but not senile....yet.
My board is a Tyan S1854 Trinity 400 with an ATI 4.51 Bios.
I'm geeting out of my depth hear.

napolean...Welcome!

What you downloaded was a rar/zip file. Either you have Win XP (native zip un-coding) or you un-ziped it to a folder on your computer.

Either way, look in the folder you un-ziped it to, there is a file there called "report 1"...right click on it...open it with notepad...and it will tell you some information on your 1)motherboard...2)BIOS version...3)Motherboard revision...4)Video card
