      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.


****************************************************************
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.

 - Users may need to click the "Cancel" button twice if an error 
   occurs during a Web Updates download.  This will close the 
   Download Progress dialog box.

 - 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.

 - In some operating systems and languages, clicking the "Reports" 
   button after a full software and driver installation may generate 
   a system reboot.


   -----
   Notes
   -----

 - 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).

 - If proxy settings need to be used for the "Web Updates" 
   feature of Express Installer, please be sure to enter valid 
   proxy information (click the "Options" button to view or 
   change Proxy Settings).  Incorrect proxy settings may cause 
   Web Updates to fail and generate an error message if the Express 
   Installer application exits after attempting to connect to the 
   Internet.  To correct this problem, please re-enter correct 
   proxy information before performing any Web Updates action.  If 
   you need help to determine the correct proxy settings, contact 
   your network administrator or Internet Service Provider.  For 
   more information, refer to the Help file and search for the 
   "Proxy Server Settings" topic.

 - Security restrictions imposed by your local network may suppress 
   the launch of the readme.txt file from the Help file.  If that 
   occurs, you can open the readme.txt file by clicking on its 
   filename in the CD's root directory.

   (manual) mode, it will inform the user that the version 
   already exists.

 - If installing over an older version of NIS, it will create 
   another folder for the new version and install from that 
   folder, without deleting the folder for the previous version. 
   However, the newer version will take over.  Also note that
