| 250271 | 2004-07-06 09:56:00 | I need to reformat a six-year-old Win 98 computer with a P2XLX/e motherboard which doesn't appear to have a disc with motherboard drivers to install . The motherboard manual mentions a floppy disk that contains a "System Health Monitor Utility" and IDE Drivers for Win 3 . 1/95 and that's it, nothing else . Is this normal? Do I not need to install motherboard drivers for this PC after installing Windows? The only disc I have for this machine, apart from Windows, is for the modem . My searches on Google turned up a few BIOS updates but I don't want those . It looks like there is a separate soundcard in this box as well and I'm not sure what to do about that - whether that will need drivers after a format as well . Any advice regarding this matter would be appreciated . :-) |

| 250274 | 2004-07-06 10:22:00 | Thanks Pheonix but I have been there. On this page (www.dfi.com) there are a bunch of drivers as I described earlier - system health utility, etc and one other. I just expected that there would be more than that, that's all. If there isn't then I won't worry. :-) |

| 250278 | 2004-07-06 10:53:00 | Now that is an excellent idea Metla, thanks. :-) I remember you mentioned that program not long ago so I'll see if I can get it to do its tricks on this baby. |
