I received the same error as you did, as it is checking for a valid CL BIOS on the EEPROM as the first step in its program. No worries, though! MANY, MANY thanks to Zoiah and everyone who has contributed to his site and utilities. Without his BIOS pages, I would be stuck running my DDR at 120/143 with a generic NVIDIA BIOS. I know, so what big deal, right? That's not the point; the point is I paid for a CL Anni Pro and was stuck with an NVIDIA BIOS with sub-standard DDR speed. Anyway, I downloaded the following: - 2.10.04 CL BIOS from Zoiah's page - nvflash 3.03 executable - biosmod 2.12 executable & DLL - geforce script 2.10.02.01 - vgabios test executable - dos4gw executable I tested the raw CL 2.10.04 BIOS successfully, using the vgabios program. Something to note: just testing this BIOS resulted in the normal ram timing of 150-DDR, so technically speaking I did not 'have' to modify the script. But I did modify a copy of geforce script to include updated ram timings of 150 and DDR, and also to enable sidebanding, using the tutorial. After testing with vgabios for an hour, it has been working perfectly fine with looping 3DM2K. So, I flashed it with the modified bios and all is well: CL Anni Pro, 120/150, CL BIOS 2.04, and sidebanding enabled. If sidebanding ever starts to cause me problems, then I'll simply flash back to the base BIOS. Once again - thanks to Zoiah and everyone who has linked to and mentioned his site. This is what the 'net was created for. Chris
