I cant remember from over a year ago what I had to do, perhaps using HPQFLASH, or SoftPAQ when Windows says it doesnt install correctly (NOW THIS IS MY PROBLEM) as HP immediately goes to a BIOS FLASH HOW TO PAGE on C:/Drive:įile:///C:/swsetup/sp85516/Bios%20Flash.htm#DESCRIP I think this is where I need to do a next step with a utility? for the folder SWSETUP in my C drive, and the driver file SP85516 had unpacked with all the available text files among the executable BIOS files. I looked around my PC after installing and following the on screen instruction, like next, continue, etc. I restarted my PC and read I was still the same previous version even after doubleclicking the update and following on screen steps. I checked my HP PC Software & Driver downloads webpage under the tab BIOS and clicked on my revision history and confirmed I was able to double click and install the SP85516 critical update, but I was in error to say it was the same version in my previous post, sorry about that.

Yes, I agree, and it would take more stress out of things if I could condense my previous posts, so I would like to add that after reading all the appropriate documentation, and still being confounded due to a lack of some information.a post asking for additional help would preferably go something like this in the future:
