"Update Computer" Updating the ThinkPad system BIOS for Windows Me Before you install or upgrade your system to Windows Me, you must update the BIOS (basic input/output system) of your ThinkPad computer. To take full advantage of all the features offered by Windows Me, it is strongly recommended that you update your ThinkPad's system BIOS. If you do not update the system BIOS before installing Windows Me, you will encounter problems with the Setup utility and Windows Me will not operate properly on computers with an outdated BIOS. Below is a list of BIOS versions that needs to be updated prior to clean or upgrade install. The latest Flash BIOS Update Diskette (System Program Service Diskette) file and installation guide can be obtained from the IBM ThinkPad support Web site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support Note that the BIOS versions listed in the following list may not be the latest as IBM keeps updating the BIOS.
