I don't know what ver of Windows you are using, but assuming it's Windows 98, you need to install the drivers from the CD that came with the board. Win 98 needs these chipset drivers to properly work with the onboard peripherals. Win 2000 usually needs them as well. Win XP usually just installs what it needs to work. Look for an inf chipset driver on the opening screen of the CD and try installing that. -- Hal Brown mailto: hal@xxxxxxxx http://adwt.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/faq To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/other_cts_lists.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
