I have not had any hands-on with that model, but I am familiar with the
Intel D945 series of motherboards. My first thought is to ask why a
BIOS update is needed? Does a BIOS update correct some major
operational problem you are having?

Second, what is the operational state of Vista on the computer? Did you
recently reinstall Vista?

Third, you can download and install the motherboard drivers for any
D945-series motherboard from the Intel web site, www.intel.com . Even
though the Gateway motherboard has a BIOS slightly customized for
Gateway, the motherboard drivers are the same for all Intel (or even
other manufacturers') motherboards with a 945 chipset.

I hope this helps... Ben Myers
