Click on the underlined device name to start the file download. Once you have saved the self-extracting driver file to your hard drive, locate the download and double-click to start the WinZip Self-Extraction process. The "target" directory for all of these drivers is C:\DRIVERS\<device>, where "<device>" is the type of driver you have selected (i.e. C:\DRIVERS\MODEM or C:\DRIVERS\VIDEO, etc.) To install the appropriate device driver in your older operating system, check the resulting drivers directory for a SETUP.EXE program. If there is not a SETUP or INSTALL program, point the New Hardware Wizard to the correct subdirectory for the hardware files.

Important! Install the Chipset drivers for your OS as early as possible during the install of your older OS version. The chipset drivers often contain necessary hardware support needed to use and identify integrated hardware features or the other devices in your system. Failure to install the chipset drivers first may cause other unusual problems or cause Windows to fail to identify and configure hardware properly.

Note: Some driver files may combine multiple device support into a single install. Examples of this will be found with SiS, Intel, and nVidia drivers. The Setup program will determine your operating system version and install only the necessary files for that OS. Driver sets highlighted in blue only contain Windows XP drivers; in some cases, like with the Media Center Edition (mce) systems, only Windows XP drivers exist.

Drivers on CD: Because of the large size of many of these files, you may choose to purchase an Old Driver CD from our Technical Support group. Micro Center Technical Support in the retail stores should also be able to provide copies of these CDs for a nominal charge. Contact our telephone Support Group at 1-888-666-3650 to order a copy of the Driver CD.

Recommended installation order is: chipset then video then any other devices. For the cleanest possible install, remove all unnecessary hardware from the computer during the initial setup. After the core Windows OS has been installed with chipset and video support, shut down and add one new hardware device at a time. Restart the system and allow windows to detect the hardware and load drivers before repeating the process.

• Power Warning: If your power supply has a power switch on the back, power off the computer, but leave the cord connected to ground the system when adding or changing hardware. If the power supply lacks a power switch, unplug the computer after shutting down. The power button on the front of the computer does not kill power to the components inside the computer. Most recent systems have a small LED that remains illuminated whenever power is still being delivered to the system board. Never remove memory, CPUs, or other adapters while the system still has power active. Doing so can permanently damage the components or system board. This type of damage is not covered under most manufacture's warranty.

• ESD Warning: All electronics components of your system are static sensitive. Even though you may not feel a shock, enough ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) can occur to damage sensitive electronic devices. Even if the adapter, memory, CPU, or system board continues to operate, intermittent failure or premature failure of the components may occur. When handling electronics components, wear a ground strap connected to a good earth-ground, water pipe, or properly grounded outlet. (Note that a proper ground strap includes a resistor that allows the strap to discharge static electricity but prevents it from becoming a direct conductor to the ground which could cause a nasty electrical shock
