ID	Information
1	Issue: At the end of executing the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility the USB keyboard and mouse may stop functioning. This problem only occurs when using Windows XP with SP1 on a system configured with a USB keyboard and/or mouse. This condition is temporary until a system reset. Solution 1: A recommended fix has been provided by Microsoft in Knowledge Base article (822603). For additional information, please refer to this article located at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];822603 Please use the following installation sequence: 1. Windows XP installed with SP1 2. QFE (822603) 3. Latest Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility Solution 2: The command line flag "-Skip <Device ID>" can be used with the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility program to cause the USB2 driver not to be installed. This will cause the USB2 controller to have a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager (usually located under Other Devices and identified as "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller"). To install the USB2 driver, right-click this entry, select update driver, and allow the system to install automatically. When completed, nothing more should be required.
2	When setup.exe is executed in the silent mode from the CD, the default path for dumping the log files is the CD (read-only media). This causes the install shield to exit out without updating any devices. Workaround for this issue is to use a command-line flag option: setup -s -f2 <path name on c:> to specify a specific path for the log files.
3	During the Windows setup stage; the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible. This is because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time when it may not be possible for the system to accept user input. Since the Chipset Software Installation Utility may cause prompts during the Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse is enabled.
4	Older revisions of the Intel® LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the Chipset Software Installation Utility has been executed on the system.
