Software & Applications

Introduction

The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard
package contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to
properly run our products. Below you can find a brief description
of each software program, and the location for your mainboard
version. More information on some programs is available in a
README file, located in the same directory as the software.
If the operating system used in your system is Windows 98, it
will automatically install all the drivers and utilities for your
board. See the Auto-Installing under Windows 98 section.

Installing Support Software

The software on the support CD-ROM is for Windows 95/NT/2000
and Windows 98. The installation procedure differs depending on
which Operating System you have, but the automatic installation is
now for Win98 only.
Installing under Windows 95/NT/2000
To install support software for Windows 95/NT/2000 follow this
general procedure:
1. Insert the support CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive.
(The system might get an error message from the PnP function.
Don't care the message. You don't really need that file to install
the drivers)
2. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to look at the
directory structure. You must use the Open command in the
right-button menu. Double-clicking on the drive icon will
result in an error message because the disc's AutoRun feature
doesn't work in Windows 95/NT/2000.
3. Execute the EXE file name given in the description below.
