Thnx

You have to be more patient than that. I have no idea what format this is supposed to be in. Get me a .rom or .bin or whatever. I'm not even going to run an EXE file, and extracting it didn't come up with anything useful. I don't know what vendor of BIOS your computer has but use a Windows flashing utility from that vendor and back up your current BIOS. Flash to the newest one first if you don't have it. Vendors would be like Award, AMI, etc.

(Edit: Or if you want to run the file, it may make a temporary directory with the files... I just don't run random EXE files that I find linked on forums.)

Either way, I have no idea. Sorry. I think UEFI is supposed to use something more akin to drivers than traditional Option ROMs. But I have no experience with UEFI.

Edit: I do not see "AMI" in that BIOS in any sort of identification string and MMTool does not open it, unless I need a newer MMTool.
