About the Software CD-ROM

About the Software CD-ROM
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard package
contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bun-
dled products. Below you can find a brief description of each software pro-
gram, 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.
Note: Never try to install software from a folder that is not specified for use with
your mainboard.
Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named
README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain
important information that is not included in this manual.

Auto-installing under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

Auto-installing under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and soft-
ware for your mainboard.
Note: 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 Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
The support software CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows
98/ME/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.
Note: If the opening screen doesn't appear, double-click the file "setup.exe" in
the root directory.
