Microsoft Windows* 98SE Microsoft Windows* Me Microsoft Windows* 2000 Microsoft Windows* XP New Features Features Added in Production Version 4.30.1006 ID Description 1 Production version release with the following signed CAT files (and related INF files) for the 852/855 GM/GME chipsets: 852.cat (852.inf) Features Added in Production Candidate 4.30.1005 ID Description 1 None Features Added in Beta Candidate 4.30.1004 ID Description 1 Updated software package to include the ICH4-M folder which contains the files needed for extraction of INF's for preload purposes specific to ICH4 mobile chipsets. These files were previously located in the ICH4 folder. Issues Resolved Issues Resolved in Production Version 4.30.1006 Reference Description Affected OS's 1 None Issues Resolved in Production Candidate 4.30.1005 Reference Description Affected OS's 1 None Issues Resolved in Beta Candidate 4.30.1004 Reference Description Affected OS's 1 Removed Windows 98SE 845G signed INF without the GE/PE/GV chipsets in the name string and replaced it with the v4.04 845G unsigned INF that has the GE/PE/GV chipsets added to be consistent with v4.04 release. Note: Win98SE 845G INF does not have it¡¦s CAT file signed because Windows 98SE is no longer supported by Microsoft. Windows 98SE Software Sightings and/or Known Issues ID Information 1 On an 830MP platform under Windows* Me Operating system's device manager, a green question mark is seen on the USB controller device. This is a new feature from Microsoft. This indicates that an exact (device-specific) driver is not available, and that a compatible driver has been installed. This new feature was implemented so that you can use the device, even if an exact driver is not available. 2 When setup.exe is executed in the silent mode from the CD, the default path for dumping the log files is the CD (read-only media). This causes the install shield to exit out without updating any devices. Workaround for this issue is to use a command-line flag option: setup -s -f2 <path name on c:> to specify a specific path for the log files. 3 The IntelR 82801BA PCI Bridge and IntelR 82801BAM PCI Bridge components will not be updated in Windows* 2000 configurations where the IOAPIC is enabled. These changes were made in order to avoid a software hang condition seen in some systems with similar configurations. 4 On Windows 2000 Operating system if the IntelR 82801 BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller device is enabled, the system may fail to enter the ACPI S3 system power state. On certain systems, the issue has been attributed to some behavior experienced with the AC '97 Audio Device driver included with Windows 2000 operating system. To address this issue install an updated device driver for the IntelR 82801 BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller. 5 This software will install the ICHxSMB.INF file on systems running Windows 98SE, even though the OS natively supports the SMBus device. This is done to allow the easy update of any future SMBus driver. 6 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 Chipset Software 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. 7 Older revisions of the IntelR LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the Chipset Software Installation Utility has been executed on the system. 8 The check for signature Block mode settings is not performed for the Windows* Me operating system environment.Download Driver Pack
