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
program, 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 RE-
ADME.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain
important information that is not included in this manual.

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 in-
stall 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.
