I wouldn't have though a problem like that would be caused by windows... you flash before windows is loaded. Try flashrom instead.

i don;t have a floppy, so i had to use ati winflash.

Ati winflash cannot seem to detect a graphics card.

You say the latest version doesn't detect it, does that mean some of the older versions do?

No versions seem to work. I just said latest, so people would come up with a "try the latest version" comment.

Sounds like your card may not let itself be flashed. Who is the manufacturer and what model card are you trying to flash. I know Asus cards don't like people changing their bios.
