2. System Requirements ====================== Software on the CD should be installed only on Intel desktop boards with one of the following operating systems: - Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional and Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and up. - Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4 and up. NOTE: Some applications may require a higher version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Please check the specific component's information in this readme. NOTE: Installation on a Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 system requires that the user either be logged in as an Administrator or have Administrator privileges. NOTE: If your system has other applications running that could prevent a system reboot, please close those applications before starting an installation to protect yourself from loss of any unsaved data. NOTE: All versions of Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and ME are not supported. **************************************************************** 3. Known Issues with Intel(R) Express Installer =============================================== The installer portion of the Intel Express Installer CD has the following known issues: - IMPORTANT: Please read Section 5 for Installation Notes on known issues and solutions regarding specific drivers and applications on the Intel Express Installer CD. - An "AFTER" restore point may still be created even if the "Set Windows System Restore Point" is disabled in the Options screen (by removing a checkmark from the feature's checkbox). - Pressing the Ctrl-Tab keys sometimes does not switch focus within some screens. This may happen after a dialog box appears. As a workaround, use the mouse to regain focus in the desired area. - The mouse-over status of a driver or software application may display the incorrect installed version when compared to the CD version. To verify the final installed version, please inspect the system's software or driver component. ----Notes ----- Do not remove the Intel Express Installer CD from the system's CD drive until all installation processes are complete. - When the Intel Express Installer application installs drivers and software, it creates two system restore-points (BEFORE and

AFTER) that mark the beginning and end of the installation session. If the user clicks the "Cancel" button during the install operation, Express Installer might NOT create the final "AFTER" restore-point. Also, if drivers or software fail to install, the AFTER restore point might not appear. - If you have both an Intel Express Installer Driver CD and an Intel Express Installer Application CD, be sure to use the drivers CD first to install all needed drivers before using the applications CD. - If your Windows XP system displays the message below, please read the directions that follow: "The software you are installing for this hardware <SOFTWARE NAME ID> has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with WINDOWS XP." The drivers being used are early versions and need updates at a later time. You will need to click the "Continue Anyway" button to proceed. This message appears during some new desktop board releases when final WHQL certified drivers have not yet been released from software vendors. The Driver Signing message can be disabled for Windows XP and Windows 2000 based systems by the following procedure: 1. Click the "Start" button. Then right-click the "My Computer" icon and select "Properties." 2. Click on the "Hardware" tab and click on "Driver Signing." 3. Click the "Ignore - ..." option and then click "OK" twice. - Note that the EIReport.txt file (or its renamed version) is saved as a Unicode file. Microsoft Internet Explorer* displays Unicode correctly for all operating systems supported by the Intel Express Installer CD. For non-English Windows operating systems including Windows 2000 and Windows XP, viewing or printing the content of a saved report using WordPad may not produce the same appearance as displaying the report in Express Installer's Report screen. - For easier viewing of any version of the license file, either open or print the file located in the root of the Intel Express Installer CD. For example, use "License0409.rtf" to view the English version of the file or "License0804.rtf" for the Simplified Chinese version of the file. Note that your system must have the specific language font installed. - Intel Express Installer only supports display settings that are set to "Small Fonts" (Normal size, 96 dpi). If this setting is set to a different value, the Express Installer window and dialog boxes may appear larger, or characters and strings may be truncated. To correct this, go to the Control Panel, click the Display icon, click the Settings tab, and click the Advanced button. Set Display's font size for "Small Fonts" (Normal size, 96 dpi). **************************************************************** 4.
