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 installation Section.

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) -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.
