Hi, ctuck-ga:
If your computer has a fairly recent version of MS Windows as its
operating system, then you can check the BIOS version and date from:
Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information
This small application will gather up lots of information about your
computer system and present it in a list of Item and Value pairs.
The top level "System Summary" should show you (about the ninth item
down) the BIOS Version/Date. E.g. my laptop has this entry:
BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V1.00, 1/26/2002
Check out the information on your system and let us know if this is
sufficient. If you have a different kind of operating system (DOS,
Linux, OS/2 ?), then let us know which one it is, and we'll go from
there.
regards, mathtalk-ga
