Solution:

Just booted to the Hirens bootable CD, had the windows .exe on a USB thumb drive. Ran it from the USB drive.

Flashed the bios fine, now have the newer of the 2 really OLD bios version on the machine.

Thanks.

Can someone verify for me what seems to be a duplication problem in the rhythmbox application ? If I attach a music (mp3) file to an email and if I click on that file to play it from within Evolution and then open rhythmbox application, there is then a duplicate entry/listing for that mp3/song, thus...

There is an msiextract program in msitools package. You probably still find a Windows exe in there but maybe you can use WinPE for that. EDIT: If you give a link or a specific model name, I can try and extract the BIOS file. HP has about 1,000 different products named pavilion touchsmart 23. Got ti...

You might be able to use 'WinPE' to install the upgraded BIOS. However, if I have the right link, the newest BIOS that HP provides is 9 years old. What version have you got? What is the problem - as in is there are particular reason to update? Do you have any references as to WinPE ability to flash...

Anyone know if there is any possibility of updating the BIOS to the most recent version from within Linux Mint after I install it ? The reason I ask is because the Microsoft that is currently on the machine is not accessible because the user has forgotten their password and I can find no way to upda...

I booted my Linux Mint 21.3 mate system There was no LM 21.3 three months ago. And if you are using LM 21.3 now it is a beta version. Beta means problems are likely to occur and reporting those errors is encouraged. Yes, of course, you are correct, typo, meant 21.2. However, that does not solve the...

Just got this same behavior again.

Rebooted and did not happen the next time.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder what causes this.

Did not get an answer the last time it happened, wonder if I will get one this time ?

If it was evolution problem ,the mail wouldn't show on the web interface. You have to approach AOL. Yes, my very thoughts also. And yes, they want me to pay them $$$$, to solve this, which I figure to be a problem with either the software, hardware, administration of their email servers and let me ...

Can anyone give me a suggestion as to the possible cause(s) (other than it just being a flaw in the email software and/or hardware of the email server - in this case AOL) for an email with a recipient address different from my email address as per my account with AOL, for instance say if my email ad...

Last week one particular input function on the Medicare.gov website would not work correctly when being used on the Firefox browser. I reported that problem to both Medicare.gov and also to Firefox. A new version of Firefox browser came available this week and now the input problem is FIXED. "T...

Then what is your explanation (and cure) for "the slow as the seven year itch" download of Firefox I don't have a clue. Seriously, you might be the only one seeing this. Or at least noticing it. It is sort of ridiculous when it takes 15 minutes to 1/2 hour to download the updates for just...

I tried switching to closer or faster mirrors years ago but I've always just used the main mirror for about 10 years. They're more reliable generally and you shouldn't have to worry about if they've been synced yet. Haven't had any problems. Then what is your explanation (and cure) for "the sl...

When I have had problems in the past with updates for Firefox being SNAIL slow, the advice given on these forums to cure that problem has been to change the MAIN source to one of the other mirrors, however doing so usually leads to the update manager having problems retrieving the info it needs for ...

Is it possible that we just need to remove the current time and date applet from the panel, reboot and then re-add it back to the panel ?

Thanks.

When you say relogin, do you mean in essence rebooted = auto login ?

And if so, yes, I did reboot after running that terminal command, in fact, several times since that.

Anyone have an answer as to why the weather info that normally is displayed on the Linux Mint Mate time and date applet on the panel has not for the last several days not been displaying the weather info ? Yes, I have a location set in the applet and have also tried several other locations and none ...

What weather organization is responsible for broadcasting the weather info as found on the Linux Mint weather applet (part of the panel time display) ? One particular LOCATION which is nearest to me is NOT giving me the weather info, while some of the other locations are broadcasting the info, i.e. ...
