ASUS mew Manuel D’Utilisation

5. SOFTWARE SETUP

Although ASUS motherboards passed testing on several operating systems, the op-
erating system shown in these sections will be that of Microsoft’s Windows 98. You
should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new hard-
ware to ensure full compliancy. For Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or later. For
Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.

Windows 98

When Windows 98 is installed for the first time. Subsequent restarts will result in
the plug and play initializing the “Add New Hardware Wizard” and may attempt to
install a driver from its system registry. When prompted to restart, select No and
then follow the normal setup procedures later in this section.

 

Selecting  No for the initial restart prompt is a necessary step

because Windows may load an older display driver that is incompatible with the
onboard VGA chip. Always use the driver available on the ASUS Support CD or
an applicable driver update from your ASUS vendor or from the ASUS web site.

NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and expansion
cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and not an exact reflec-
tion of your system.
