Updating BIOS

I had all sorts of problems after "Updating" XP Home with SP2. Now MS
support suggest that I should update the BIOS on an Asus A7V-133. The
BIOS version is Award Rev 1007, I believe that's correct. When I went
to the Asus site I found 2 methods, one seemingly quite complicated,
the other using ASUS EZ Flash. Well the second one seems easier so I
followed the instructions:-
"1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS Website. Save the file
to a floppy disk."
Okay, I downloaded UltraWinDrvB29.zip. When unzipped I find 3 files in
the XP folder
Ultra.inf, Ultra.sys & Ultra.cat
Which of these is the file that has to be copied to a floppy disk?
Four days ago I asked Asus support this seemingly simple question. So
far all I've heard from them is an acknowledgement saying that I'll
get a response in 48 hours. Hmmm! Time moves slowler in Taiwan?
I know it's an old board, but the machine does everything I need so
I'm reluctant to scrap it and get into the expense of new memory etc.
Any suggestions and help greatly appreciated since I've never done
this before?
David
