Information |
|
1 |
On Windows 2000 Operating system if the Intel® 82801 BA/BAM AC
'97 Audio Controller device is enabled, the system may fail to enter the ACPI
S3 system power state. On certain systems, the issue has been attributed to
some behavior experienced with the AC '97 Audio Device driver included with
Windows 2000 operating system. To address this issue install an updated
device driver for the Intel® 82801 BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller. |
|
2 |
During the Windows setup stage; the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible. This is because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time when it may not be possible for the system to accept user input. Since the Chipset Software Installation Utility may cause prompts during the Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse is enabled. |
|
3 |
Older revisions of the Intel® LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the Chipset Software Installation Utility has been executed on the system. |
