There is something up with the JMicron controller. My P5B-DLX would freeze; completely lock up, not even crtl-alt-delete would work. I’ve downloaded the beta version (3.75) and things seem to be working much much better.

It’s a shame they can’t have the software done when they ship out the hardware.

Oh man i just installed that j-micron driver(the latest one) and as you know i have no RAID on my board and i just have a DVD Writer and a SATA HDD. Is there any problem it can cause? let me know if its wrong.

I can’t get the coaxial to output anything. The optical is fine but my amp only has one optical input and i’m using it for another device so I want to use coaxial instead.

Have you had any problems with the Control Panel window not opening after installing any of the P5 deluxe drivers?

The first two times I have installed Vista 32/Business and installing the SoundMax drivers and/or the Intel Drivers the control panel stops working unless I boot into safe mode.

@ The Patri0t: Got the problem with my dvd writer:
I installed the JMicron driver and now i can’t have the possibility to write any cd or dvd with my dvd writer, it reads anything but won’t write. Do you have any solution to get over this? I’m going nuts about this …

j-micron drivers screwed up my LG DVD writer – couldn’t erase DVD RW’s no matter what software I used. Changed it back to standard driver and all was fine again…

thanks for the jmicron info, helped me alot ;-)

does anybody know what this driver ” Intel Matrix Storage Manager” is for, when do i need to install it?!

thx

Hey, I found this page very helpful. I was just wondering if you had any idea on this problem I’ve got. On this board my IDE DVD drive is stuck in PIO mode (so choppy playback etc), i’ve tried all the tricks to get it into DMA, (uninstalling IDE drivers etc, reg hack etc).

Event viewer gives me this:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort9.

The dvd drive is the only device on the IDE, as the hard disk is Sata.

Thanks :(

hi
i have intel ich7 chipset and i’m not install vista to computer because i haven’t sta driver for install vista.please help me
tanks :smile:

I’m trying to setup the JMicron controller using AHCI so I can use an external eSATA harddisk. Anyone got this working ? On the Intel IHC8R I have a RAID setup and 2 SATA ODD’s.

R.

is there any driverdisk from intel supporting nativ AHCI for the ICH8 SATA Controller? when i tried the upper mentioned intel matrix driverdisk it didn´t work when installing XP. found many others having the same problem. any solution, maybe selfmade driverdisk to throw in after hitting F6 (XP Installation)? Thanks

other story.. did someone experience hanging tasks within XP, that can´t be closed via taskmanager, after that no shut down of XP is possible? i get it reproduceable even after fresh install with new bios and newest drivers for all components. i´m not using the jmicron controller atm! system is stable (not overclocked) when checking it with memtest and orthos, prime… etc.

thanks

best regards

Hi!
I have installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit on a SATA disk @ ACHI settings. I have ASUS P5B deluxe motherboard, and it worked fine. The question is, should I install any other drivers for my disc controller? The latest Jmicron driver and the Intel storage manager? It works fine without them, just wondering if there is an faster soloution.

Also, I have the Vista drivers for my SoundMax onboard card. I use optical conection to my reciver, and I don’t get Dolby Digital or DTS sound. Just Pro Logic II mode. Any soloution to this problem?

Thank you for you answers :)

I have the latest version of windows Vista on my machine. The Board is Asus P5PE-VM and therefore the sound card is AD1988B SoundMAX v5.10.01.6110 WHQL . The sound card driver does not run on Vista. Is there a Driver update for this product for Vista that I could Download?? Please Let me know.. Thanks

I have a Asus P5PE-VM motherboard and if it will work to install SoundMAX Audio Driver v6.10.01.5110 from the Vista?

Please let me know
Thank you

Yes, Patriot

Will it working on Vista? I cannot find to download the sound drivers from Asus.com. There have only windows xp…. :sad:

Is there value to adding the intel 965 chipset drivers to my VISTA install? The system seems to be working perfectly fine without them, I’ve had an easy vista experience so far, so I’m reluctant to mess with it.
Especially since it was kind of hidden on asus’s site.. this is actually the first I am hearing of the chipset drivers, so thanks alot!!!!

But I remember from the XP days chipset drivers were essential.

Anyone have any experience or comments? And which version do I deploy? Asus or intel’s?

Thanks

i heave motherboard asus p5b , from where i can dawnload chipset driver to my operating system vista ???? Please Help Me !!!!

Hi folks,

have some probs with my p5b and a c2d e6300. I’m not able to install a ACPI Multiprocessor PC, whatever I try.

Have BIOS 1004 running, using XP Pro SP2 with latest drivers. It always installs a standard “ACPI-PC”. Changing to an Acpi-Multiprocessor PC” via device manager is impossible (driver won’t show up). Hitting F5 during installation renders system unbootable / causes setup to freeze with a black screen and cursor at top left.

Waht do I have to do to become able to use Core “2″ Duo’s second core? :(

i installed windows vista it took sound driver automatically but in voice chat my mic wasnt working so i searched engine and came across this website and installed this software
SoundMAX Audio Driver v6.10.1.6100 – 5.8 MB BETA [Latest]
now my mic is workin properly.
i have p4 2.66GHz wit asus board wit on board sound car.
thank u

Great site – solved my JMicron JMB36X driver problems by luck when in a moment of desperation I tried to update the IDE / SATA drivers. i am not sure what happened but the JMicrom disappeared and my DVD is now back on line.

Regards

I have the P5PE-VM MB for Intel 775. When vista is installed, the onboard audio won’t work and it will recognize it as a “multimedia audio controller” but if you try to install the AMD-8111 AC’97 driver which comes with vista, it will work.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY :lol:

Great site. I only stumbled across your information after getting over a real dilemma with my newly built system based on the P5B VM m/board.

I installed a video card about three weeks after I put the system together and then “discovered” a problem with the Lite-On DVD burner and audio player.

After much experimenting I got rid of the JMicron RAID driver and the issue now seems solved. It was more good luck than good planning and knowledge.

I find it strange that this matter has not been raised on the ASUS forums.

It is annoying to buy what seemed to be a solid m/board from a reputable company only to see poor software. This is my first non-Intel m/board build and it will probably also be my last!

Regards

Hey Vivek Moorthy…
Where did u find the driver for Asus P5PE-VM!?
No one of the drivers of the list work on my mother :(
Buuuhh! Help I don’t have any sound

“other story.. did someone experience hanging tasks within XP, that can´t be closed via taskmanager, after that no shut down of XP is possible? i get it reproduceable even after fresh install with new bios and newest drivers for all components. i´m not using the jmicron controller atm! system is stable (not overclocked) when checking it with memtest and orthos, prime… etc.”

I have had the exact same experience, however it has been limited to the past week. Things worked fine for the first two weeks with this system, which makes me suspicious.

As you describe, closing the program would not work even with CTRL-ALT-DEL. I had one instance where trying to close Firefox would always give me the Microsoft error report to which I’d click “Don’t send”, but the Firefox window never actually closed!

Upon disabling the device in BIOS I could no longer replicate the crashes. I discovered it was the Intel HD Audio driver in some way causing it. System is perfectly stable in non-Windows OS, and misbehaving seemed to only start when opening programs which would open the audio driver.

After trying and failing to get AC97 audio to even work, I’m going to try some more up to date audio drivers for Intel HD Audio, namely:

ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/audio/ad1988/AD1988B_2KXP_510016110_DTS_WHQL.zip
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/audio/ad1988/AD1988B_2KXP_510016110WHQL.zip

I will post back with any news.

Shelly,

I found the driver on the windows disk. When you installed, it should’ve identified the unknown multimedia controller. Then when it asks for the driver, just say you’ll choose your own, then you have to manually search out the amd-8111 ac’97 audio controller driver. It’s not the perfect driver, but it works. At least until creative labs grows a heart and decides to write a driver for CT4760 soundblasters :neutral:

Hope that helps.

Will it working on Vista? I cannot find to download the sound drivers from creative sound blaster live! value There have only windows xp….

:sad:

Will it working on Vista? I cannot find to download the sound drivers from Asus.com. There have only windows xp…. :sad:

Will it working on Vista? I cannot find to download the sound drivers from creative sound blaster live! value ? There have only windows xp…. :cry:

how come the ASUS Audio driver is 31.?? mb, and this one is 21.?? mb, also when extracting the 31mb file 2 files are corrupt….

Is there a newer version of the Ai Suite available? can you post that please.

@flummoxd:

Finally someone else with the same symptoms! I have had the same thing happening to me. I have figured out it somehow is related to the on board audio. The application will crash when trying to initialize audio. In firefox it usually means flash content, but it can also be a zoom player, skype etc. that does it. The result is always the same – the application cannot be ‘end tasked’ and the system won’t even shut down, because of the hanging application.

This is extremely annoying and I tried buying another sound card. I ended buying a wrong one for my system (only stereo sound through spdif output) and now I’m back with the on board audio – trying the new drivers. I just installed them, so I am very interested at seeing if they finally fix this. Please, let’s stay in touch and see if we can help eachother out.

I will be purchasing this motherboard as my first build. I will be using E6600 and installing xp pro sp2. My questions are What is a good compatible 2 gig ram set for this board (not to low or high end), and what if any drivers will I need to install with F6 os istallation. No raid just 2 sata wd 250 hd (2nd sata for backup), 8800 graphics, cd/dvd rw drive and floppy drive/card reader.

Thanks for any help you all can give me.
Since this is my first build I really want to at least be heading in the right direction.

I am trying to set up a RAID0 array of 2 x WD320 HD’s for media storage along with a non-RAID WD160 as drive C: for OS/Apps. This is on a P5B Deluxe mobo. Can’t seem to figure out how to do this. If I set BIOS to RAID then the system won’t boot windows from the non-raid drive c, but if BIOS not set to RAID then of couse I can’t configure the RAID drives. How does one do this?

Further to my inquiry, all 3 drives are SATA, connected to the SATA 1, 2 & 3 (out of 6) ports (not the JMicron port). I have disabled the JMicron driver. I’m running MCE205.

By the way, I’ve skirted the SoundMax problem by just using spdif optical out to my receiver. I know that doesn’t help anyone without an external receiver, but if you’ve got one it’s a simple solution.

Dear all,

I have also a strange issue with my P5B Deluxe.
I run XP SP2 on it, with the latest BIOS (2007.01) and the newest drivers (except the JMICRON Which uses the windows drivers as it was adviced here)
I have a Samsung HD300 LJ harddisk, connected to the first SATA port on the Intel chipset, and a NEC PATA DVD writer connected to the Jmicron port.

Everything is working just fine, no signal of any error the system runs perfect, the disk surface test is also OK.

The only application that shows errors is the MS SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition (with SP4).
There’s a utility from MS that simulates the IO of an SQL server, this utility is the SQLIOsim. This utility also produces the error.
Anyway this utility can be downloaded from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/8/0/3804cb1c-a911-4d12-8525-e5780197e0b5/sqliosimx86.exe

I would be very happy if someone could post me a hint…
Thnx.

It has been a week and my system has had about 3-4 of those “not responding” and “not able to end task/shutdown” lockups. Even with the newest soundmax xp drivers. I am getting desperate here. Help, anyone?

I have posted here before, and the tips I then got helpet alot! Thank’s ;)

Ok, I know to well that Vista is still young and drivers are not that well developed. But I can’t go back to XP. The problem is not the OS, I think, but rather the hardware. Sometimes everything freezes. Mouse, keyboard, system etc. In games, in Windows and I have tried to locate the error without luck. Anyone else with the same problem, or is this a know issue?

This message is alway the same, with Windows EventID: 6008.

Thanks for help on this matter ;)

Patri0t,

Thanks for the reply.If you could simplify my steps it would be great. This is my very first build from scratch.

I want to use

1) 2 Sata drives one for windows xp pro sp2 the other for photos, Doc’s, downloads etc.
2) DVD/CDr/rw (NOT SATA) Or SATA if you think it would work better in avoiding some of the issues I’m reading about. I can switch
3) floppy drive

From what you describe in your responce This is what I understand.

If my 2 hd’s are not set to up Raid configuration and they are not IDE then no drivers during f6 OS installation are needed?
Will I need any drivers installed during OS install (F6) for my DVD/CD r/rw if it is not SATA?

With all the issues with the jmicron drivers and such I’m confused as to what to do and the steps in which to do them. Please treat me as a complete idiot when you respond. THIS BOARD MAY NOT BE THE ONE FOR ME and yes this forum is scaring me away from it!!!!

follow up

IS it best to just use SATA HD as well as SATA DVD/cd R/rw to avoid jmicron drivers all together?

Hi Patri0t and all.

My previous comment (March 2) about hanging applications was indeed solved by the sound drivers.

I have a few other concerns now re: the JMicron SATA controller.

Windows XP boots up very slowly. I haven’t had a chance to go and run bootvis, but I’d estimate a full 2 minutes at the Windows XP black-splash screen. This is simply unacceptable as my single core P4 can outperform this by more than a factor of 3. I assume it is a disk throughput issue, somehow related to the JMIcron controller.

My questions:

a) Would installing the JMicron drivers have any effect on the speed of bootup (i.e. are the drivers even loaded at this early point in bootup). I’m currently using the autodetected Microsoft drivers.

b) Is there any (speed, other) benefit to running my SATA drives in AHCI mode or will that just cause headaches? They’re currently set to IDE emulation mode, and are SATA (not SATA-II) drives.

c) Is there any reason (speed, other) to install the JMicron drivers, outside of what’s previously been asked? I am NOT using RAID or the southbridge ATA controller.

Err, was a little confused there. In my previous post I was really asking about the 6xSATA Intel controller, not the JMicron 2xSATA/IDE controller.

Hi there, wondering if you could help me.

I’ve had the P5B Deluxe in my most recent build for a few months now, but when I insert my headset into the audio and microphone ports on the motherboard, I have to literally shout into the microphone to be heard. I have selected the Microphone Boost option within Windows and have checked that it is not on mute etc, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance for yuor assistance.

Just to say thanks for the links. Been struggling to access asus ftp for far too long.

Regards

I’m back again. And now I hate this MB.. Today I have been getting bluescreens all day long. And the PC don’t power up, just standing “still” with the fans on fire. I had to do a clean install with Vista. It’s been stable for 2 hours now. Changed the timings for my RAM. But I don’t think that’s the problem.

I’m not sure if this MB was the best bye for me after all..

I’ve spent many hours trying to set up a new computer with a mirrored hard drive. I have two identical 300 gig sata hdd, Intel core duo on a P5B board. I want the computer to think there is only one hard drive so I can mirror the os and everything. I’ve set this up on previous server 2003 installations. I set the BIOS to raid. When installing I’m never given the opportunity to hit F6. In Vista there is a driver install option that is supposed to be the new F6. I have made driver disk for that moment of installation. When I use the driver disk Vista sees the driver and installs it but I’m never presented with the DOS based admin program shown in the mother board’s owner manual. If I continue to install Vista, the driver is installed but I always see two sata hdd drives with no option to mirror. In computer management/disk management both drives are basic drives not dynamic drives. :shock:

hi i got this mb aswell with somne problems.
mainly the one i want fixed is the freezing i get when playing games.
I’ll get a blue screen and it will tell me something about the nvid_disp.dll filea and starts to do this dump cache.
i have the lastest drivers (for my card from the website, which is a PX7950GT) and my mobo biso is 1101
i installed the original jmicron on my pc that came with the cd.
pc parts are;
p5b-deluxe
e6600 @ 2.4Ghz
2GB Kingston 667hmz
Winfast PX7950GT
audigy 2 value
pioneer dvd/rw

any ideas? thanks if you can help ;)

just a note on the audio drivers — the zip archive currently downloadable from asus is, indeed, corrupt. however, i was still able to use the extracted files to install drivers for 32-bit XP, apparently those files were not affected. but good luck!

@LiQU!D:

I’ve got the same issue as you are. I installed Nvidia drivers 158.18 BETA. These do work fine under Windows, but I get the same BSOD as before while playing. It freezes, sound is terrible and the bluescreen accours. The same thing will happen under XP as in Vista. I’ve tried almost everything. I have disabled the JMicron driver, disabled secondary lan-port. I now run the 1004 BIOS, but the problem is not the BIOS I think. But I’ve found something in the evenviewer:

I wounder if there are the same issues with other MB boards…

@ Andy.
I’ve recently put on vista and downloaded all the latest updates from MS updates, which updated graphics drivers aswell as vista it self.(i did not do any extra driver updates, i only used the ones with vista)

I now have no freezes in any games!,
my pc stats are in above post, all i did was overclock my e6600 to 3.0ghz, and it’s as smooth as butter, (i have XP particianed, i went back to xp and tried again AND I GOT THE FREEZES AGAIN!, no more xp for me :)

i play americas army, i sometimes on certain parts of the map get tears across my screen. but not with any other game.

also i can’t change my sound device, im stuck on speakers, i can change it to 5.1 or stereo. but i can’t change it to headphones.

but atleast there are no freezes :)

i could solve my Problems with “hanging tasks and unable to shut down System”. The DTS Encoding Feature of Soundmax Drivers are causing this! I did test it with the 3 latest drivers always the same. the only way to have a perfect stable system is just to disable DTS Encoding support, that´s it – no need to uninstall the whole Audio driver.

So it was a stupid decission to choose the ASUS P5B-Deluxe for building my HTPC System around it. I could reproduce my experience also on a friends P5B-Deluxe.

will have to wait till stable DTS Drivers appear… i hate to be alpha Tester for the industry :evil:

:evil:
I’ve reciently purchased my first system build and since I’ve gotten it, I’ve had a bit of a problem…

First off, I’ve the Asus P5B Deluxe Wi/fi edition mobo, and I am running Vista Ultimate.

Now the problem I’m having is that my computer will randomly shutdown and go to a blue screen. The blue screen goes away quickly, and there is some kind of error message, it’s up for about 2 seconds and then the system will restart, too fast for me to read.

Now, it almost always happens when I view video files. It doesn’t matter if they are .avi, .mp4, or streaming video from the internet. The odd thing, is that it doesn’t alwayse do it. Most of the time it does, but sometimes I can go through a full movie (or two) and it doesn’t do anything odd. When it does happen, and it usually does, it may restart (the same way) two or three times. And, it never dies in the same place twice.

I’m almost posative that it’t the onboard audio. When it first started having the problem, I searched for a burn in program and ran it. I ran tests for procesor, graphics, memory, etc. but as soon as I ran the test for audio, the system crashed. I called Asus for tech support and was told that SoundMax has yet to release a proper audio driver for Vista.

That was about two weeks ago, and now I’m sick of it. I reformated after talking with the Asus tech support and have not yet installed the audio driver. The sound works, but it still chrashes. I tried to install an old copy of XP and couldn’t deal with it, it seemed slow compaired to Vista. I’ve asked a friend of mine, and he believes that it is more than just an audio problem. I’ve gotten a memory testing program which I’ll run shortly to see if that may be the problem.

I wanted to post this because the problems that I’ve been reading seem to be kind of like mine. Maybe what I’ve posted will help someone else out, but mostly I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions that I could try. Any help would be great.

I am losing my mind!!!!

I have two drives in RAID-0 on the Intel Raid but I have my DVD drive on the JMicron controller.

When I try to intall Vista from the DVD, it boot ok from the DVD but then it says it is missing a driver for the CD/DVD, I put the driver downloaded from the asus site and it keeps complaining about the misssing driver.

WHAT THE HELL DRIVER SHOULD I BE USING!!!!? Please provide me with a link for this driver. I have spent the last 5 hours trying this and I can’t get past this. Please help me out!

Hey. I have the P5B Deluxe, and I have 4 external HDDS. Two are SATA and two are IDE. All of them randomly disconnect, and sometimes (more often than not, the IDE drives) after rebooting they do not appear in windows. I have to manually shut off the external hdds and turn them back on before Vista sees them.

Any ideas?

Also, I have a readyboost drive, a 2GB USB2 thumbdrive, whenever I reboot the drive becomes corrupted and windows cannot view it anymore, I have to format it in a XP machine.

=/

RC, I had the same problem as you have, but the i updated the firmware for my Dwd-rw Nec 4550a and luckily the issue was gone. I recommend you trying the same.

I am using Fedora core 6 with ASUS P5PE-vm mother board.
My built in sound card is: ADI AD1888JCPZ High Definition Audio 6-channel CODEC. Now this sound card detection is done by Linux….But when I press “play test sound” I hear nothing. In windows however the sound card detection says: ADI AD1888JCPZ High Definition Audio 6-channel CODEC (and I have very nice sound quality).
can you possibly help me resolving this.
I need a audio driver for AD1888JCPZ in linux.
Thanks!

I already found the driver. I’ll just try if this will work.
Thanks!

Hi, I had this p5b deluxe wifi mobo, and just installed vista 32 bit on it. I cannot get it to connect to the internet via LAN ethernet card. I can see the gigabit ethernet yukon cards on device manager. right now im using the wireless and it works fine, but I want to use ethernet b/c my signal will be stronger. Any ideas?

when is sound max drivers for vista coming out, are they out well I can’t find them. please help me. thanks Bob.

I am trying to get VOIP to work on my P5B Deluxe with Vista Ultimate x32. I can’t get my michrophone to respond properly if at all…I’ve tried different Soundmax drivers, etc to no avail. I am using a headset w/mic.

hi there! i’ve got this problem about my girl’s pc. she had an asus P5PE-VM board and i can’t seem to find an audio driver that would work for 32bit windows vista. will you guys help me?

I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe motherboard, with 6 SATA HD.

The OS is Vista Home Premium

When I conect an external SATA HD in a USB port, Windows asks for a JMicron driver, so I can’t use external HD’s.

Man, the asus servers suck so bad.

I have the P5B WiFi Deluxe board with an E6600 core duo, 2048 Corsair Ram, 8600 GTS Graphic card and using the onboard sound. I’m running Vista Ultimate 64. Everytime I play a FPS game such as Battlefield 2 or Call of Duty 4, my entire system freezes, usually between 10 and 30 minutes of playing. The screen freezes and whatever sound was playing just sticks on a loop. All I can do is pull the plug to reset. I think it’s the onboard sound. I’m running the latest drivers. Any suggestions? I may try buying a seperate sound card soon. Incidently this doesn’t happen in XP64, just vista.

For anyone with eSATA issues, I have a Seagate Freeagent Pro eSATA that wouldn’t work right in eSATA mode when writing (read at 30MB/s+, read/write in USB mode at 24MB/s, but random stops/starts and low (1MB/s) rates when writing).

I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe, my internal drives are all on the Intel chipset SATA controllers. After reading above (thanks!) I deleted the JMicron RAID controller in Vista and rebooted, then after Windows installed a standard AHCI controller and a JMB IDE controller, I DISABLED the JMB controller… now I’m getting write speeds at sustained 48MB/s… YES! Thanks again!

Seagate doesn’t know what the issue is, it’s not in their KB (yet… I called them) but it’s not a drive issue its the JMicron drivers messing things up.

i have problem with my soundmax hd audio on p5b deluxe – but its a bit different – i have switched left with right even on front panel (and whats best, the front panel doesnt work when i check the “front panel phones” in audio cfg. well the thing is really annoying because even my 5.1 which is plugged in the back of cpu works turned over, i mean the left side is right and right is left – same when i use the stereo speakers configuration – so i think : 1. the connections on the hardware can be switched (totally crap and big “-” for asus manufacturers) and 2. its matter of software drivers (i hope so cos it can be fixed somehow) thx and please if somone met same problem let me know and give me a solution for this big peace of crap michalkruczkowski@poczta.fm

Whats out before trying this out. I installed the drivers for Vista 64 bit – matching my operation system, and after a reboot, my computer won’t boot!!!!
The fan starts for 3 seconds, and the blue power-on ASUS sign is on…I tried to clear bio, by removing battery and movnig jumper, this didn’t help! Arhhh :cry:

The Patri0t,

I’ve grown desperate and wondered if you might have a clue what’s happened here, or what I should try.

I have the P5B Deluxe WiFi. Got 4 drives on the Intel RAID channels. Booting from an IDE drive on the JMicron channel (with a DVD burner there also).

For some reason, Windows XP installer does not see the IDE boot drive. I can run a boot CD and see it, format it, prep it totally. The BIOS sees it too. But after Windows loads the install processes, it then claims there’s no drive to install to.

I’ve got the JMicron drivers for F6 install, and have tried it with and without them. No change.

Any idea how to get around this? I can’t get this system to install anymore.

Thanks

Hello,

For those with the “sound driver” problem that causes freezes – try this version

ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/so/5%5B1%5D.12.1.3713_ADI_SM4_SF.exe

(version 5.12.01.3030 and earlier are causing the system instability in XP/2K3 *as described in AD`s faq*)

Hi there,
For some reason the motherboard(p5b) isnt recognizing my floppy RAID intel driver. It gets to the point where it sees the boot drive, it goes, it gets to the “Windows Setup” screen, then it stops. and just sits there. Any idea why this might be? Strangely, when I do NOT have the floppy driver in, it goes past this point, skipping over the f6 thing (even though I press it) and then gets to the point where it has no hard drive to install on cause it doesnt recognize the drives. I’ve installed the floppy drive on this computer and it seems to recognize it and not complain when i format it for RAID… (and write the drivers etc).

Great site

someone who can help me where i can find the driver of audio ADI AD1888JCPZ

Not all fax programs are created the same. If you take a look at the current market of faxing software, you??l see that there are a lot of programs out there with different prices, that?? because they are created for different sets of users. Faxing applications for individual users may do well enough by having basic faxing features and a good user interface, while on the other side business fax software need more advanced features designed to let you mange high volumes of faxing.

In the case of big companies, a fax server solution is the best way to go. This is a system that you need to install on the local area network that allows all users connected to it to send and receive faxes. Fax server software is created to better manage this case. Although this type of software is more expensive, you need to take into account that is a smart investment for any company. Just by integrating this solution, you can save huge amounts of money and time, which helps the bottom line of the company.

To get started with fax software, it is good to take a look at your options and get some way of review the product before buying it. Many software development companies offer free trials of their fax programs for a limited time or with limited features, this lets you have valuable hands-on experience when it comes to using them. On the other hand, you can also find reviews online of different fax software options. Here you can also find more information on all the features of Internet faxing and some programs.

Internet Fax Services ?st An Alternative

If you are interested in Internet faxing, there?? another alternative: the use of services. A fax service is offered to let you fax without the need of installing software, by taking advantage of a company?? own fax server and fax software. The use of service has grown exponentially in great part thanks that now providers are able to offer reliable and affordable solutions for individuals and businesses.

With fax software services, you pay a monthly fee that allows you to send and receive a limited amount of fax depending on your plan. On the market there are different plans offered, but the market standard for the basic on is of 300 pages (received and sent) for around ten dollars. Being a web based service, it offers its advantages like extra features (such as portable device notifications, managing of different users, broadcasting) and the ability to being accessible from any computer in the World as long as you have an Internet connection. Plus, they give you an Internet fax number (local or toll-free) that you can use to receive faxes from any fax machine or computer.

These services are best used by individuals and small businesses. Big companies are better off with the use of fax server software since that gives them more flexibility and is more cost effective than using a service.If you are interested in Internet fax services, know that many of these companies offer a free trial of their services.
