Meaning that if you’ve never installed the Intel Chipset software and would like to do it now, you can force the update by using the command below:įirst you need to make sure that you have Intel chipset. If you prefer to install it but already installed Windows long ago, there is a trick to updates ALL INF drivers on all available devices even if third party drivers are currently installed.
If you install the Intel Chipset Software much later, you will notice that it will not install all INFs.Īctually most of the time you’ll find that there is no need to install chipset software because it only gives a proper name for some Intel’s devices.
This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.Īs far as I can remember, the first driver that I should always install is the chipset drivers once Windows installation has been completed, followed by the rest of the drivers. It contains information text files (INFs) that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. Many people call it a chipset driver but in fact it is not a driver nor does it include drivers. Windows 98 didn’t support a lot of drivers and we need to spend quite a lot of time searching and downloading the drivers for chipset, display, sound, modem and printer on the internet using the slow 56Kbps dial up internet connection.Ī very old friend of mine just called me yesterday asking me what and how to install chipset driver.
Installing Windows now is much more simplified and easy compared to Windows 95/98 because we don’t need to use a DOS bootup floppy disk, and the vast support of devices on Windows 7. When I was in my teens and started to learn about fixing computers, one of the first thing I remembered learning was the proper order to install drivers.
