updating bios on 532h

I am having problems with blinking on my external monitor when it is in 1024x768 but not in 800x600. I installed the latest video driver but need to update the bios.

Current version is 1.21 and 1.25 is available.

I have updated the bios on a desktop but never on a netbook.

What is the procedure for upgrading the bios.

Also would upgrading my memory up to 2 gigs help with the blinking problem?

Thanks for any information.

To perform the update to the BIOS:
Go http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/ and download the latest BIOS for the netbook.
Extract the files from the downloaded zipped BIOS file.
In the Dos folder, Copy Flash.Bat; Flashit.exe; Nav50.fd to the USB flash drive
Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in.
Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.
Press and Hold down the Fn and the Esc keys together and press the power button.
When the unit's power light comes on wait a few seconds and release the Fn and Esc keys.
After the keys have been released the power light will start to blink.
During the BIOS update process the display will be blank.
Let the unit run and after approximately 1 to 7 minutes, the unit should reboot and the BIOS will be updated.
If the unit fails to reboot, or the BIOS was not updated sucessfully, try the steps again. If the unit continues to fail to reboot, the unit may need service.
