If after reinstalling windows and the motherboard cd still has issues installing the drivers, then let me know. The drivers from MSI's website should be EXE files and all you do is run them and it automatically installs driver and any needed software.

thanks john I hope it works, I will let you know

For the time being select Ask Me Later, you can update it all once you've got your drivers installed and working.

use whatever setting you want. I personally always use remind me later and set it to get no updates and check for no updates.

Okay windows has installed and the screen is all loaded up what shall I do now ? Insert the MSI disk or the memory stick? or do something else?

Thanks

Copy the files off the memory stick and install your drivers. John said they should be EXE files, so just click on them to install, as if you were installing any other program.

Uh oh it's doing the exact same thing

I cannot see run.exe in some of the files but it says setup

 

[spirit]

The files are called setup.exe? Just run them to install the drivers.

for some reason it only says setup I'll take a pic

 

[spirit]

Yeah the file extensions are hidden by the default so it will only appear to be called 'setup'. Just click on the file to launch the setup and it should be fine.

Yes, setup is the install file.

Looks like Setup is the file you want to run.

 

[alexjb]

what is going on?

 

[johnb35]

Run the motherboard cd and see if it works.

 

[spirit]

Do you have 32- or 64-bit Windows? Try the board CD.

 

[alexjb]

Run the motherboard cd and see if it works.

thanks I'll give it a go
