I just wanted to elaborate on how i managed to get the flash program to work for my Lenovo g570.
From my experience it seemed to be os edition specific, i had windows 7 64bit edition, regardless of what i did it just wouldn't open giving me a "could not load driver" error
so what i did was installed windows 7 32bit to confirm my theory,
but now with more experience this is what can be done which is far more easy.
i downloaded the 64bit version of the flash program from Lenovo,
then i extracted the contents from the 64 bit edition and camiloml's 32 bit edition using winrar and
then i placed the "PIWG2209" firmware from "camiloml" and copied it in the folder for the 64bit version which managed to let me open it w/ little problems, it wouldn't let me flash saying i already had the same version and that it was up to date.
**note**the contents can be extracted using winrar
Next thanks to "camiloml" for his help, i had the edit the platform.ini file to force it to flash just like he said which lead to my successful flash
