Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

Can anyone help?

Hello

That s strange.
Did you change something on you installed Vista?

In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.
