Using the Motherboard Software

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.

The Intel High Definition audio functionality unexpectedly quits working in Win-

dows 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.

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 Ex-

plorer). 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.
