Using the Motherboard Software
About the Software CD-ROM
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard package contains all the
drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bundled products. Below you can find
a brief description of each software program, and the location for your motherboard
version. More information on some programs is available in a README file, located in the
same directory as the software. Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for
files named README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may con-
tain important information that is not included in this manual.
Intel HD Audio Installation (optional): The Intel High Definition audio func-
tionality unexpectedly quits working in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Users need to download and install
the update packages from the Microsoft Download Center "before" installing
HD audio driver bundled in the driver CD. Please log on to http://
support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;901105#appliesto for
more information.
Auto-installing under Windows 2000/XP
The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and software for your
motherboard.
If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still
install drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows
Explorer). Refer to the Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
The support software CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows 2000/XP. When
you insert the CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive, the autorun feature will automatically
bring up the install screen. The screen has three buttons on it, Setup, Browse CD and Exit.
If the opening screen does not appear; double-click the file "setup.exe" in
the root directory.
