How do I update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Windows Vista?

My laptop is a Inspiron 1501 running Windows Vista 32-bit Basic Home Edition. I downloaded the update to my desktop from the Dell website, but it won't install. It gives me an error message saying that the BIOS is not flashable. Is there another way to update the BIOS? By the way, my real problem is that my pc doesn't recognize my AC adapter. I did a search and found out that updating the BIOS would fix that problem.How do I update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Windows Vista?Your BIOS is 'flashable' go here for the download and click on 'Installation Instructions'
