Hi Chris, Am answering personally because there were no other replies.
Thanks for all the info! Sure makes a difference if you use the correct info in the search and "aptiva E 190" was not it. Checked the links and even did another search using "Aptiva 2170" but could not find anything that mentions what the latest BIOS version V75EN2E and V75EN4E actually does. Thanks again for all your help!
