    I have a problem with the bios upgrade on my Aspire 5920G.
    I have downloaded from Acer's site the 3813 version and i try to use it with winphlash, the program that is in the folder when i unzip.
    I have always an error message, the one in the printscreen.

    Yes, i have opened the program with administrator privileges, the same message pops out.
    I think that the problem is that i have Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
    Any suggestions?

    there is a special winphlash for x64, you can probably google it.

    either that or try from DOS.

    please do it from DOS the chances of bricking is much lower.
