Yea, but it is Windows XP Home, not PRO. I can't use that directly. John W.

This is usually a separate CD but in some cases, especially with Laptops, the data is a hidden and/or in separate partition. Without this BIOS level configuration software the hardware will never be appropriately exposed to the O/S. This is manufacture specific.

That really does not matter however. The display adapter software fails, claiming it can't find a display adapter to install software for. Neither can I for that matter. 8-( John W.

In either case there should have been a CD with it. Boards with all the components built on them takes specific software to get them setup. Check with who ever you purchased the equipment from or online with the manufacture.
