operating system and Intel chipset are used in your system.  

****************************************************************************
* 3.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE 
****************************************************************************
This software can be installed in two modes: Interactive or 
Silent.  The Interactive Mode requires user input during
installation; the Silent Mode does not.

Additionally, this software offers a set of command line
flag options that enable extended installation functionality.
The command line flags are not case-sensitive.  See Section 
3C for detailed descriptions of these flags.

Important Note:
The Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility is 
distributed in two formats -- self extracting .EXE files
(INFINST_xxx.EXE) or compressed .ZIP files (INFINST_xxx.ZIP).  
Depending on which distribution format is being executed, 
the command-line syntax may differ.  See Section 3C for more
details.

****************************************************************************
* 3A.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE IN INTERACTIVE MODE
****************************************************************************
1.  Check the System Requirements.  The operating system 
     must be fully installed and running on the system before
     running this software.

2.  Close any running applications.  Otherwise, you may
     experience difficulties.

3.  Run the InstallShield* installation program:
       Self-extracting .EXE distribution: INFINST_xxx.EXE
       Compressed .ZIP distribution     : SETUP.EXE

4.  You will be prompted to agree to the license agreement.  
     If you do not agree, the Installer will exit before 
     extracting any files.
    
5.  Follow the on-screen instructions and use the default
     settings to complete the setup, once the operating
     system has rebooted.

6.  This completes the installation of the Intel(R) Chipset 
     Software Installation Utility.  

****************************************************************************
* 3B.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE IN SILENT MODE
****************************************************************************
1.  Check the System Requirements.  The operating system 
     must be fully installed and running on the system before 
     running this software.

2.  Close any running applications.  Otherwise, you may 
     experience difficulties.

3.  Run the InstallShield installation program:
     For silent install with auto-reboot:
       Self-extracting .EXE distribution:
                                    INFINST_xxx.EXE -a -b -s
       Compressed .ZIP distribution     : 
                                    SETUP.EXE -b -s
    - OR -
     For silent install without auto-reboot:
       Self-extracting .EXE distribution: 
                                    INFINST_xxx.EXE -a -s
       Compressed .ZIP distribution     :
                                    SETUP.EXE -s

4.  The utility will perform the necessary updates and 
     record the installation status in the following 
     system registry key:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\INFInst

5.  If the utility was invoked with the "-b" flag, the 
     system will automatically reboot if the update was
     successful.

    NOTE:  The system MUST be rebooted for all device 
                 updates to take effect.

6.  To determine whether the install was successful,
     verify the 'install' value in the registry key
     specified in Step 4.

     The following table describes the various parameter 
     values:

     Value      Type      Data        Description
     ------     ----      ----        -----------
    "install"   String  "success"     The installation
                                       was successful.
                        "fail"        The installation 
                                       was not successful.
                                       No INF files were 
                                       copied to the 
                                       system.                

    "reboot"  String     "Yes"        A reboot is required
                                       to complete the 
                                       installation.
                         "No"         No reboot is required
                                       to complete the 
                                       installation.
                                
    "version" String    <varies>      Current version 
                                       number of the 
                                       Intel(R) Chipset 
                                       Software Installation
                                       Utility
                                         
****************************************************************************
* 3C.  LIST OF AVAILABLE COMMAND LINE FLAG OPTIONS
****************************************************************************
The Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility supports  
several command line flags for various installation options. 
All command line flags and parameters must be separated by a 
space, except for the language code after the '-L' flag.

Due to the different distribution formats available for the
Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility, the command
line flag syntax may vary:

1. Self-Extracting .EXE Distribution:
      When installing this software using the .EXE 
      distribution, an extra '-A' must be appended to the 
      INFINST_xxx.EXE program call (i.e. INFINST_ENU.EXE -A)
      in order to successfully pass command line parameters.
      The extra '-A' flag for the self-extracting .EXE 
      package is DIFFERENT from the '-A' command line flag
      option described below.  

      Example: To extract INF files using the '-A' flag 
                     described below, the installation program 
                     should be invoked as follows:  
          
               INFINST_ENU.EXE -A -A (optional -P)

2. Compressed .ZIP Distribution:
      When installing this software using the .ZIP 
      distribution, there is no need to append any extra 
      flags to the SETUP.EXE program call in order to pass
      command line flags.

      Example: To extract INF files using the '-A' flag 
                     described below, the installation program 
                     should be invoked as follows:  
                        
               SETUP.EXE -A (optional -P)

Below is a list of all the available command line flags 
that may be used with the program call.  Note that the
'-L' and the '-S' flags MUST be specified at the end of 
the command line flag list.

Flag         Description
----            -----------
-?             Help flag.  Displays the list of available
                command line flags.  This parameter works 
                in the Interactive mode only.  

-A             Extracts INF files, README.TXT  and 
                instructions for OEM preload (PRELOAD.TXT) 
                to either "C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst" 
                or the <Installation Path> directory 
                specified using the '-P' flag.  The 
                software will NOT install these INF files 
                to the system.  This flag can be combined 
                only with the '-P' flag option.  All other 
                options will be ignored if the '-A' flag 
                is specified. This parameter works in 
                either Silent mode or Interactive mode.

-B             Automatically reboots the system after 
                installation.  This flag is ignored if '-A'
                flag is specified.  This parameter works 
                in either Silent mode or Interactive mode.

-L<LangCode>   
                Forces the InstallShield user interface to 
                display the specified language during 
                setup.  Note that there should be NO 
                spaces between '-L' and the 4-digit 
                language code (see below).  This flag and 
                the '-S' flag must be placed at the end 
                of the command line flag list.  This 
                parameter works in Interactive mode only.

-P <Installation Path>   
                Specifies the HDD location to which the
                INF program files are copied.  If this 
                flag is not specified at the command line,
                the <Installation Path> directory is by 
                default assumed to be:
                
                   C:\Program Files\Intel\INFInst
                
                If this flag is used without the '-A' 
                option, only README.TXT  will be copied to
                <Installation Path>.  The directory name 
                can include spaces.  In this case, 
                however, a pair of double quotes (") must
                enclose the directory name.  This 
                parameter works in either Silent mode or
                Interactive mode.

-S             Runs the Installer in silent mode.  No 
                user interface is displayed.   This flag
                and the '-L' flag must be placed at the
                end of the command line flag list.

                
Below are the language codes used with the '-L' flag:

    Language                          <LangCode>
    --------                          ----------

****************************************************************************
* 7.  TROUBLESHOOTING
****************************************************************************
It is assumed that the system requirements in Section 2 
above have been satisfied.

Issue:      System locks up during Device Manager Remove or 
               during restart.

Solution:  System lockup can occur during Restart as a 
                result of several possible system issues.  In 
                the event of system lockup, restart the machine 
                and view Device Manager.  If devices are listed 
                properly and the system experiences no further 
                problems, then the .INF file restore process was 
                successful.  If devices are not configured 
                correctly, try re-running the procedures 
                outlined in Section 3.

               If this does not fix problems or further 
               problems are experienced, reinstall the 
               operating system.


Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting 
               the machine, Windows reports that it cannot 
               find one of the following files:
                  ESDI_506.pdr

Solution:  Click Browse in the dialog box where this 
                problem occurs, locate the

                  <Windows>\System\IOSubsys

                directory and click OK.  The system should
                be able to locate this file in this directory 
                and continue re-enumerating for the new 
                devices.

Issue:       After running the setup program and rebooting
                the machine, Windows reports that it cannot 
                find one of the following files:
 
                  UHCD.SYS
                  USBD.SYS
                  USBHUB.SYS

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this 
                 problem occurs, locate the

              <Windows>\System32\drivers (for Windows 98,
                              Windows ME)
               -or-
             
              <Windows>\System           (for Windows 95)

                 directory, and click OK.  The system should
                 be able to locate this file in this directory 
                 and continue re-enumerating for the new 
                 devices.

Issue:      During setup, installation stops and prompts 
               for one of the following files:
      
                  UHCD.SYS
                  USBD.SYS
                  USBHUB.SYS

Solution:   Ensure that the Windows 95 USB Supplement has 
                 been installed prior to running the Intel(R)
                 Chipset Software Installation Utility setup 
                 program.

Issue:       After running the setup program and rebooting
                the machine, Windows reports that it cannot 
                find the following file:
                  isapnp.vxd

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this 
                 problem occurs, locate the
 
                  <Windows>\System

                directory, and click OK.  The system should
                be able to locate this file in this directory 
                and continue re-enumerating for the new 
                devices.

Issue:      After performing the silent install, the 
               HKLM\Software\Intel\InfInst key was not created 
               or the data of the value "install" is not 
               "success".

Solution:   This is caused by one of the following 
                 scenarios:
               - The current system does not contain 
                 a supported operating system, or
               - The current system does not contain 
                 a supported chipset.

                Verify the System Requirements in Section 2.
