laptop doesn't recognise .upd file for firmware upgrade

[kingsfold1]

Not exactly the greatest PC wizard so does anyone know why my laptop(HP G61) hasn't got the right program to open the .upd file and download it for a firmware upgrade for my KDL32-EX301.

You do not need to open the file on your PC - you must only download the .upd file and copy this to a USB flash drive without opening it

Follow the instructions here: -

Thanks for the info blencogo. I said I wasn't the brightest button and now it's been proven.

There's no such thing as a silly question here.

These things are far from straightforward and the idea of this forum is for those with a bit more experience to share this with others.  We all have to start somewhere.

Enjoy your Bravia!
