Problem with old drivers for sound card integrated with D850GB...

PentiumIV 2,0GH 20GBATA 256RAM intel desktop Board D850GB

i have recently reinstalled my windows xp home and than i noticed that
my CD with drivers was broken. On the website of the developer i have
found such a notice:

"End of Interactive Support Announcement
These products are no longer being manufactured by Intel.
Additionally, Intel no longer provides interactive support for these
products via telephone or e-mail, nor will Intel provide any future
software updates to support new operating systems or improve
compatibility with third party devices and software products. "

However i have found some older drivers but they don't want to install
and i don't know why? I have sound card integrated with board
(soundmax) and i don't know how to make it work...

i would be grateful for any advice

If you enter the Intel site at the home page and choose "Support &
Downloads" from the pages top menu bar and then wind your way through the
drop down lists and active menus you can reach a download page for your
board that contains updates that include your audio. Following is the URL
for that download

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...&ProductID=486

Certainly these days you might feel more comfortable going through the Intel
site yourself. Either way, this may fix you right up.

The other thought here is to scrounge Ebay for a replacement CD or call
Intel and see if they might have one left for you.

Good luck

Doug

Michal,

I ran into the same problem upgrading from 98se to W2k...however, upon
consulting the "Intel Desktop Board D850GB/D850GBAL Quick Reference"
booklet that came with the motherboard, I noticed that on pg 4 & 5,
the ADI AD1885 audio codec is ONLY on the D850GBAL motherboard...NOT
the D850GB.

Hope this helps.

david.
