Sam K ,You can't just load the .exe file on to the Cd you have to extract the rom file from the executable ,use something like isobuster or magiciso

HOW TO: Install a Hardware Device Driver using Compatibility Mode
My one remaining brain cell is rapidly fading.
I tried different compatibility modes and also running it administrator (even though my account has administrator privileges) and I got the same error.
Format a usb pendrive to make it bootable
- Copy the file 1535_A06.EXE to a bootable usb pendrive
- Boot from the usb pendrive to the DOS prompt.
- Run the file by typing Y:\1535_A06.EXE (where y is the drive letter where the executable is located).
Ah I didn't know that. I have MagicISO but I can't find the option to extract the rom file from the executable. I googled around after I read your post and I also saw that some people mentioned extracting a .wph file from the .exe bios file as well. So after I put the rom (or wph) file on the boot cd, do I simply execute it from command line?

OK I'm in the process of taking your advice. First I tried making a bootable usb following the instructions on the following link but the bootable usb that gets created immediately starts the Windows 7 install process because it has you copy the entire Windows 7 dvd to the usb drive.

Now I'm trying these instructions.

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all your help.
thanks for bios utiliy
Thanks. It worked!
For those who are interested, I created the bootable USB stick using the instructions on the following link and then copied the 1535_A06.EXE file to the USB stick.
Bios-boot-usb-stick - Howto: BIOS-Update per bootable USB-Stick - www.biosflash.com
After I booted up using the USB stick, I simply ran the 1535_A06.EXE file from the drive.
I would have never guessed that creating a bootable CD was so much more difficult than the a bootable USB.
Thanks pebbly and marsmimar for all your help.
