Posted July 20, 2014 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775 you go there and download the file and then after i setup it up I dont know where to run it from So I downloaded it. You don't run it. "Run this easy to use Intel® Driver Update Utility and it will "automatically" tell you if you need to update your chipset INF file, and if so, will prompt you to install and you are done. This will save you a lot of time not only on your chipset download but the most common files needed for your system. Name changes: Intel® Chipset Device Software is the new name for the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility; this name will be seen when running the installation package. About this file/download: The Intel® Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager. I'm having trouble as well. Let me see if I can figure it out. It says RUN IT but I don't think you actually need to...

Posted July 20, 2014 In the README I found this: ************************************************************ * 3. CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE ************************************************************ The Intel® Chipset Device Software package contains the following items: File(s) ------- SetupChipset.exe -or- SetupChipsetMUP.zip -or- SetupChipsetPAC.zip This makes me think there is nothing to run still.

Posted July 20, 2014 so then what do i do? I think it will just prompt you when you need a driver update. Nothing to be opened as it only installs text files. I think that is what's going on.

Posted July 20, 2014 So then how do I go about updating it? There should be something to click in the prompt. What is it telling you to update?

Posted July 20, 2014 So then how do I go about updating it? Run this easy to use Intel® Driver Update Utility and it will "automatically" tell you if you need to update your chipset INF file, and if so, will prompt you to install and you are done. This will save you a lot of time not only on your chipset download but the most common files needed for your system. Read. It says that you install and it will be a background process after that. When newer drivers are available, it will prompt message telling you to install them. This will work only those drivers provided by Intel so they will be downloaded automaticly from Intels servers. For others you need to use mobos software. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
