FIXES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.10 Production Release Build 0002 Information: 1.

SOFTWARE SIGHTINGS AND/OR KNOWN ISSUES FOR THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.10 Production Release Build 0002 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 easy update of any future SMBus driver. 2. A Change Driver prompt may be displayed from Windows setup on devices with PCI Subsystem ID fields programmed to a non-zero value. 3. During the Windows setup stage, the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time during which 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 not be used on systems with a USB keyboard and mouse as the sole input devices. 4. When the INF Installation Utility is run on a system with the 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(R) Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the INF Installation Utility has been executed on the system. ************************************************************ * 3D.
