Using the Motherboard Software

Chapter 4

Using the Motherboard Software

Auto-installing under Windows XP/Vista/7

The Auto-install DVD-ROM/CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers
and software for your motherboard.

If the Auto-install DVD-ROM/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 DVD-ROM/CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows
XP/Vista/7. When you insert the DVD-ROM/CD-ROM disc in the DVD-ROM/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.

About the Software DVD-ROM/CD-ROM

The support software DVD-ROM/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 pro-
grams 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
or something similar. These files may contain  important information that is not
included in this manual.

2. The notice of Intel HD Audio Installation (optional): The Intel High
Definition audio functionality 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 “ b e f o r e ” installing HD audio driver bundled in the
driver disk. Please log on to http://support.microsoft.com/
default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;901105#appliesto for more information.

1. Never try to install all software from folder that is not specified for use
with your motherboard.
