Driver Installation 

This chapter gives you brief descriptions of each mainboard driver and 
application.    You  must  install  the  VIA  chipset  drivers  first  before 
installing other drivers such as audio or VGA drivers.  The applications 
will  only  function  correctly  if  the  necessary  drivers  are  already 
installed.
