This motherboard comes with CD-ROM disc (AOpen Bonus Pack) containing
the Windows 95/98 drivers and software (including the Music Center

Installing the Drivers and the Application
After turning on the system, Windows 95/98 begins loading and starts
detecting new hardware installed on the system.
1. When Windows 95/98 detects the presence of the onboard audio chip, it
begins to build the driver database. The New Hardware Found dialog box
displays.
2. Select Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer and click
on OK. Windows 95/98 prompts you for the driver disk.
3. Insert the driver disk in the appropriate drive and specify another drive, if
required. Then click on OK. The system copies the necessary driver files
to your hard disk drive.
4. Windows 95/98 makes changes to the system settings and begins
detecting the following new hardware components:
•
ES1941 PCI AudioDrive
•
ES1941 DOS Enumlation
•

2-20
Note: Refer to your Windows 95/98 manual or
online help for any questions on Windows 95/98.
Tip: Prepare the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM disk
before setting up the sound card. Windows 95/98
will prompt you to insert the Windows 95/98 CD-
ROM disk when you install the joystick or MIDI
device.
Note: If the file being copied is older than the file
currently existing in your system, we recommend
that you keep the existing file.
