    I have installed bios version 1.24 from previous 1.1 for Vista without backup of
    original bios.
    What bios should i choose from Acer Upgrade kit to revert to Vista bios?
    Thanx.

    I did not think that a bios would need to be OS independant. Just something I may have missed in the past! LOL!

    Vista bios is needed for SLIC certification when activating Vista so your Vista gets preactivated.
