Drivers for Windows ME & 2000

The following are descriptions of what each autorun menu item does when selected with the mouse. Due to

ongoing improvements in the support CD, there may be some differences between this User’s Manual and

your support CD. The names in quotations are the actual driver names displayed in the System Properties of

MS Windows. Windows cannot contain all the device drivers from every manufacturer, with every update;

therefore the provided support CD will contain the best driver for your built-in devices and should be used in

place of any Windows default drivers.

VGA Driver (required)

Installs “SiS 630” display drivers for your operating system in order to properly use the Notebook PC’s built-

in graphics and to provide optimal features. Once the display driver is installed, you can change your display’s

resolution and color through Display Properties. Right click the desktop and choose Properties or choose

Display from the Control Panel. See this section for basic procedures on setting the display. Read the Win-

dows documentation or Windows help files for detailed information if necessary.

AGP Driver (required for Windows 2000)

Windows 2000 requires an AGP driver for this Notebook PC because the graphics hardware is much newer

than what is provided with the operating system.

Audio Driver (required)

Installs drivers for your operating system in order to properly use the Notebook PC’s built-in audio. The drivers

will enable “SiS 7018 Audio Driver” for high-bandwidth rich audio. All audio functions are configured through

Windows and help can be located within Windows documentation or Windows help files.

ASUS PC Probe (optional)

Installs PC Probe utility to monitor the Notebook PC’s CPU temperature and other resources. This is an

optional software to help you better manage your Notebook PC’s resources.

LAN Driver (required)

Installs the required LAN driver for the Notebook PC’s built-in SiS 900 PCI Fast-Ethernet controller. Fast-

Ethernet supports both 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX networks at half or full duplex.

TouchPad (recommended)

Installs “Synaptics

TouchPad” utility. The Notebook PC fully supports built-in or externally connected

keyboard and PS/2 mouse devices. The Notebook PC’s integrated TouchPad pointing device is fully com-

patible with two or three-button PS/2 mice. However, the provided device driver will provide enhancements

and features to the TouchPad to increase the functionality of the TouchPad. For detailed information, see the

Software Reference in the next section. To access help, right-click the TouchPad icon on the taskbar and

select Help.
