Flashing BenQ and Samsung with Vista

[sccrbrandon4788]

When you are making your bootable usb drive or floppy with iPrep, be sure to right-click on iPrep and select "Run as Administrator", otherwise you will get an error. Other than that, follow the tutorials! Happy Flashing!

This only applies to Vista by the way. Most any program of this nature will need to be run this way unless you turn off that security feature.

[sccrbrandon4788]

Correct. I have a lot of trouble with certain programs because you HAVE to run as administrator.

[sadalius]

You can disable what I call the fat bastard. I call it that because it makes Vista more bloated, thus the fat part, and more annoying because you have to click yes, run the software, yes I trust it and then continue....... If your interested, I could try and find the link for you.

[sccrbrandon4788]

Nah, I'm fine with it. When I first got Vista I tried installing Alcohol 120% and Vista had some warning come up and I ignored it. Ended up f*cking up my computer because the warning was about the program not being compatible with Vista yet.

im running windows vista home premium used this operating system for before,using the new beta of iprep but had the same problem before so been using firmware tool box 4.8 and dos for the benq drives anybody know what these errors mean?

[lilrevuk]

You should have started your own thread

-Have you installed the latest version of .NET Framework?? (Vista is shipped with v2 which should be fine, but it's worth a go)...

-Did you run as admin?? You have to, to use iPrep correctly.

Most of the guys here use XP for all their flashing needs. The only thing I can't do with Vista is a Lite-On
That's probably me, not vista though

[commando_lee]

i prep works fine with my VISTA 32bit system no problems at all

[gatorlee]

Yeah 64 bit vista is a little nastier than 32 bit vista. If any one has info on that don't hesitate to make a new thread.

[HaGGardSmurf]

Can you use Jungle Flasher on vista 64 bit?

I know vista 64 bit doesnt allow for you to install unsigned drivers, but you can just manually sign the driver, and install it...

[lilrevuk]

I don't think you can... AFAIK PortIO is for 32 bit systems only.

[HaGGardSmurf]

I thought it was 32 bit only due to the fact 64 bit will not let you install unsigned drivers? (I read some guide on signing PortIO, so you can install it on a 64 bit system)

This is where I read that:

Also, a "guide" for signing the Peer Guardian driver:
