ntinst.exe   : Installer for the above driver

Installation
------------
1. Create a directory e.g. 'C:\Program Files\MBProbe'.
2. Extract the files into a that directory using your favourite archiver
   e.g. Info-ZIP, PKZip or WinZip.
3. Create shortcuts in the start menu and, optionally, in the Startup group.
4. If you are using Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000, you need to install the
   giveio.sys to allow MBProbe access to the I/O ports.
   Ensure you are logged on as a member of the administrators group.
   Then, run NTINST which automatically installs the driver as a service.

Running MBProbe
---------------
1. Check techinfo.txt for motherboard-specific settings.
2. Socket-7 users will need a CPU temperature offset. Check techinfo.txt.
3. Adjust the temperature and fan labels to match your board.
4. Adjust the fan divisors as low as possible without the fan speed reading
   dropping to zero.
5. Check 'known issues' in the manual if you have problems.
6. Read the FAQ if you have more problems.
7. If you can't solve them, then e-mail me using the template below.

Uninstallation
--------------
1. If you are using Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000, you need to uninstall the
   giveio.sys driver. Quit MBProbe first.
   Ensure you are logged on as a member of the administrators group.
   Then, run "NTINST -uninstall" from the command prompt to automatically
   uninstall the driver.
2. Delete the directory you installed MBProbe into
   e.g. "C:\Program Files\MBProbe".
3. Remove the shortcuts from the start menu and the Startup group.
4. Remove the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jonathan Teh\MBProbe".
5. MBProbe files, program group and registry settings have been removed.
