Hi I am having problems with using this mother board with Windows 7
32 / 64. I have found in the past that motherboard manufacturers are
not end user frendly. Any downloads for this?

The CD states Vista inside. I thought that Windows 7 was just Vista
minus the deliberate bugs?

TIA

Desmond.

The motherboard is from 2007, so you wouldn't expect to see a heavy Win7 presence.

You can go to the various chip makers and get drivers there.
But why not give Win7 a chance ? It probably has a ton of
drivers built in. Let Win7 solve your driver problem first,
before getting all bent out of shape.

VIA drivers, for things like VT8237S storage features, or "Integrated Rhine"
networking. For my VIA chipset motherboard, I got fresh stuff here. The
Attansic chip could just be a PHY, and the driver you want instead is for the Rhine
MAC in the Southbridge. Look in the networking section here, for Integrated
Rhine and give that driver a try. The "MAC" layer is the brains, and the
thing that gets the driver.

RealTek HDaudio drivers.

If you've still got exclamation points in your Device Manager
display, come back and give details. Or, using the first link
above, go through the available drivers for WinXP, to understand
what is needed to complete your Win7 install.

Someone else may have tried Win7 on that motherboard, and
this forum may have questions about drivers and the like.

Asus take me to driver robot to download and run on my PC. Driver
robot has identified 17 drivers that require updating.
THE PUNCH LINE: I have to pay $29.95 to down load them. Cheeky
bastards.

Its the integrated vidio that is causing me a problem. If anyone knows
the type that comes with the motherboard I could search for it.

Desmond.


It appears that this driver is being used for that mb

VIA DeltaChrome

but I'm not getting any conclusive results for drivers supporting Vista
or Win 7 at the moment.
