g200 bios update

I'm trying to update the bios on this card, but I'm having no luck. I went
to the Matrox support site and got the unified driver set (setup257.exe) I
unpacked it, read the readme file, and and ran pbioswin. I get two choices,
'create emergency disk' and 'update the matrox graphic bios'. I pick the
update option, and after a second, I get an error message 'no binary file
found'.

There are a dozen or so *.BIN files that came with the download, but there
is never a chance to pick one.

Any ideas?

Didn't it come with a README file?

It worked, thanks. I had to get the 1999 bios, then upgrade to 2000, then
upgrade...etc, etc, but it worked.

I had very similar situation with my g400 and WinXp. The solution was
to run earlier BIOS-update (version 255) first and after that run the
latest (257). You could try this trick.
