5. SOFTWARE SETUP

5.1 Operating Systems

You should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new
hardware to ensure full compliancy. For Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or
later. For Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.

5.1.1 Windows 98 First Time Installation

When you start Windows for the first time after the installation of your motherboard,
Windows 98 will detect the onboard audio and video chips and may attempt to in-
stall a driver from its system registry. When prompted to restart, select No and then
follow the normal setup procedures later in this section.

IMPORTANT:

Selecting No for the initial restart prompt is a necessary step

because Windows may load an older display driver that is incompatible with the
onboard VGA chip. Always use the driver available on the ASUS Support CD or
an applicable driver update from your ASUS vendor or from the ASUS web site.
