For Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium, the following files are installed to the \CATROOT\{F750E~1 directory: For systems running Windows 98: 440MXCOR.CAT 440MXIDE.CAT 440MXUSB.CAT 810.CAT 820.CAT 820B.CAT 840.CAT ICHx.CAT ICHxIDE.CAT ICHxSMB.CAT ICHxUSB.CAT IFWH.CAT P64H.CAT P64HRES.CAT For systems running Windows 98 Second Edition: 810.CAT 820.CAT 820B.CAT 840.CAT ICHxSMB.CAT IFWH.CAT P64H.CAT P64HRES.CAT For systems running Windows Millennium: 820.CAT 820B.CAT 840.CAT IFWH.CAT P64H.CAT P64HRES.CAT ************************************************************ * 3B. FIXES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.20 Production Release Build 0006 Information: 1. No fixes are included in this release. ************************************************************ * 3C. SOFTWARE SIGHTINGS AND/OR ERRATA FOR THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.20 Production Release Build 0006 Information: 1. This software will install the ICHxSMB.INF file on systems running Windows 98 Second Edition, even though the SMBus device is natively supported by the OS. This is done to allow the easy update of any future SMBus driver. 2. A "change driver" prompt may be displayed from Windows setup on devices whose PCI Subsystem ID fields are programmed to a non-zero value. 3. During the Windows setup stage, the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible. This is because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time when it may not be possible for the system to accept user input. Since the INF Installation Utility may cause prompts during the Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse is enabled. 4. When the INF Installation Utility is run on a system with Windows 95 Original Release, the Device Manager may report a memory resource conflict. This conflict involves the resources allocated to PCI cards that are located behind a PCI bridge. The operating system incorrectly reports a memory conflict even though the memory resources in question are fully contained within the PCI bridge aperture. This appears to be a known issue with the Windows 95 operating system. The INF Installation Utility operation has no effect on this issue. 5. Older revisions of the Intel(R) LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the INF Installation Utility has been executed on the system. 6. When running this software on an Intel(R) BX Chipset platform, an extra reboot message might appear after the operating system has completed setup. ************************************************************ * 3D.
