This is beginning to drive me crazy... I want to flash the BIOS on my Asus 9800XT video card (NTSC version, since ASUS provides a PAL version too) and when you download from the Asus site, it says to run a utility called Winflash and it will do the necessary updating... reboot twice... bla bla.. ALAS, there is no such file in the zip, just AS29N.rom, CWSDPMI.EXE, FLASH.EXE and RUN.BAT. Running any of the executables makes a DOS window briefly appear and then nothing. Doing a search for this update often brought me results about people using this windows flashing utility... why isn't it there?! How do I flash the BIOS without it? I've tried booting from a floppy with these files on it... not much success. Any tips?

Looks like ASUS had modified both NTSC and PAL zip files because some people experienced lockups running the winflash included.

Try this NTSC.zip it has winflash included and see if it works for you.

Goodluck.
