2. System Requirements
======================
Software on the CD/DVD should be installed only on Intel desktop 
boards with one of the following operating systems:

 - Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems - 32-bit and 64-bit 
   (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate Editions).

 - Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Home Edition with 
   Service Pack 2 and up.

 - Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition operating system.

 - Microsoft Windows MCE (Media Center Edition) operating system
   with Update Rollup 2.


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 Vista and XP system 
      requires that the user either be logged in as an Administrator 
      or have Administrator privileges.

NOTE: Without the Rollup 2 update for Windows XP MCE, some software 
      installations may fail.

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, NT, 2000, ME and Server 
      2003 are not supported. Also the Microsoft Windows Vista 
      Enterprise Edition is not supported and the Windows Vista 
      Starter Edition for 32-bit is not supported.


****************************************************************
3. Known Issues with Intel(R) Express Installer
===============================================
The installer portion of the Intel Express Installer CD/DVD 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/DVD.

 - 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/DVD version.  To verify the final installed version, please
   inspect the system's software component.

 - This issue only applies to an Express Installer CD or DVD 
   supplied with an Intel(R) Classic Series Desktop Board.  
   If the user accidentally starts up two instances of the 
   Intel Express Installer program, the program's screen might 
   not return after a system reboot.  As a workaround, manually 
   re-launch the program by clicking the EIVCD.EXE file, located 
   on the CD/DVD.

   -----
   Notes
   -----

 - It is recommended that the Adobe* Flash Player be updated to 
   version 9.0.28.0 or higher.  This supports the Microsoft Vista* 
   operating systems and helps to display animation video from 
   the Intel(R) Viiv(TM) software.

 - Do not remove the Intel Express Installer CD or DVD from the 
   system's CD/DVD drive until all installation processes are 
   complete or until instructed by the program.

 - 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/DVD, be sure to use the 
   drivers CD first to install all needed drivers before using 
   the applications CD/DVD.

- Some early versions of driver updates for the Microsoft Windows 
   Vista  operating system may show an unsigned driver message.  If 
   you see the message, "Windows can't verify the publisher of this 
   driver software" when installing drivers from the Intel Express 
   Installer CD or DVD, it is recommended that you continue with the 
   installation by clicking the message link, "Install this driver 
   software anyway."

 - 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, 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).
