Onboard Sound Problem ASUS Mobo
This is driving me nuts. I have just built a "new" computer with the following specs
Win XP Sp2
P4 2.0 Mhz
1 gig RAM
ASUS P4S800-MX Mobo
80 Gig IDE Drive
As its a second hand board I downloaded the relevant drivers from the ASUS site and all went well till I tried to install the Sound Max Drivers. The install program simply refuses to run for some reason. The Video drivers went in fine. I have updated the BIOS and Sound is enabled in the setup so I am at a loss.
I assumed firstly that I had the wrong drivers but the ASUS archive (WDM-3665) is the one from the boards support section for WIN XP
Any ideas anyone ?

"The install program simply refuses to run for some reason. "
If you mean the installer won't even start then the file MUST be corrupted. Try redownloading it from one of the other ASUS download sites - try USA or Europe rather than Global (or whatever).
Google for "ASUS P4S800-MX drivers" and see what you can find in the way of drivers.

Yes Mac, thats exactly what I mean.
I have tried all their sites for a good file, USA, China and Europe is all they list. Three downloads and three fails. Maybe I can find a good file somewhere else ? I've googled as you suggest but most leads go back to ASUS. I'll keep looking. Thanks!

Thanks Maxell, that looks like a good site.The link you gave me was to this Mobos sister board the P4S800-MX_SE but the P4S809-MX is bound to be there somewhere.
Well, you wouldn't believe it, I emailed ASUS a few hours ago about this problem and they got back to me as I was typing this. The "Lite" version of the Install program is on their support site not the "Full" version. They have given me a link to FTP it. Why the "Full" version is not there who knows.
Anyway, thanks to all who replied!
