    As the thread topic states I'm having some major issues.. I cannot seem to start the modified nvflash "mnvflash" in windows .. It asks to press enter to continue, which I did. Then crashes. I have disabled the GTX 980M installed drivers with inf mods. I have tried biotin with legacy rom. Nothing I cannot get to the option to flash. Help me please..

    I used command prompt, waited 1-3min after inputting the flash command. And somehow it finally picked up the 980M. Then went through the usual press y if you are sure you want to flash. The mnvflash running without a command prompt I could never get to open it simply crashed..

    Thanks, I'll be a little patient if I give it a try and avoid the batch files :eek:.
