Please give full, complete, *working* instructions to modify / update / the BIOS boot screen.
Firstly, please do NOT refer to the motherboard PDF manual page 20 as it is useless.
Start from scratch, new configured system with (say) XP SP3.
Refer to the contents of the H61MGV3 ver 6.9 CD with (say) the windows file browser. Traverse as follows: Setup --> Software --> and launch the BIOScreen Utility. One sees a window labelled Confirm file deletion to remove, and message "Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components?"
This is stupid and dangerous! 1) WHAT "selected application"?, 2) The BIOScreen Utility program is not available.
Now, if one boots with the CD and runs Setup then maneuvers to to the BIOS screen Utility selection line, one gets EXACTLY the same garbage as mentioned before.
Not exactly useful, to say the least. Absolutely NO instructions as how to create and find the BIOScreen Utility.
- After unspecified arcane wand waving and searching on the hard drive, one may find LOGO.EXE which when launched, displays that infamous screen shown at the top of page 20 of the motherboard PDF manual.
Well, you say, fine and dandy; select and load ANY of the provided logos. Then go for broke, select "Transform" and get a FAILURE message "Transform image failed cannot transform the logo".
Totally useless garbage; IMPOSSIBLE to to update BIOS with new image if one follows the instructions.
You need MORE COMPLETE instructions and software that WORKS.
- Now, _maybe_, if one takes a properly formatted BMP (72 dpi 800x600) file, load that then directly update the BIOS, there may be progress. BUT that is extremely dangerous. The image file i have is a LOT larger byte size than any of the samples, and still conforms to the specs given above.
There is NO HINT as to full requirements of a "raw" file that could be SAFELY inserted via "Load image" then "Update BIOS".
** Again, please give full, complete, working instructions to modify / update / the BIOS boot screen.Thanks.
