Additional Notes

****THIS IS THE CORRECTED VERSION OF A CDROM ARCHIVE I HAVE OF THESE FILES. I UPLOADED AN EARLIER VERSION AT ANOTHER LINK, THINKING IT WAS THE UPDATED VERSION AS I WAS TOO LAZY TO PULL OUT THE DISK AND WENT TO IBM FTP SITE INSTEAD (ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/ps1aptiva/update_files/bios/), WHICH ACTUALLY HAD THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE BIOS, NOT THE UPDATED ONE. THIS IS THE FEBRUARY 1999 UPDATE. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION****

This flash BIOS update is for use on miscellaneous IBM 2134, 2159 and 2176 Aptiva systems. It installs BIOS level BSTxx4I (BSTUS4I on US systems) on Aptivas with the A-2 motherboard and the ATI 3D Rage graphics chipset and level BFLxx4N (BFLUS4N on US systems) on Aptivas with the A-1 motherboard and the SiS graphics chipset.

  • In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

  • In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button

How to Install a driver from Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
