One clarification, when you say "This board is really, really old. I know, it is indeed a rather 'dated' system - but unfortunately, I run a non-funded rural-development organisation, where every penny, literally, punches a hole into the finances - and so, I have to try and see if I can revive this unit to a functional state, before I think of chucking it. I had started my post with a brief description of my issue - but now that you have stuck your neck into the quagmire, let me bombard you with a more 'complete picture'! Thank you very much for your detailed response. I can sympathize but I can't really help you there. Yes, I know that takes money that you might not have. It's time to think about getting something newer. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the silicon components - like that for LAN - are starting to fail.

Last comment: This board is really, really old. In all this, it doesn't say anywhere that it won't work it just says that you are on your own if you want to try.

Further, because they won't do any testing, they won't explicitly make drivers for that version of Windows available (doing so would imply that it will work with that version of Windows and that would create a support liability for them). If Intel does not say that they support a particular Windows version, it doesn't mean that it won't work it just means that Intel is not going to do any testing to find out. Regarding your "WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY" question, there is no definitive answer. If it doesn't, you should look for a better alternative on Realtek's web site. If you want to try it, here is a link to its download page. I found one on Intel's site that might work, but no guarantees it is there for a much, much newer product and might not have support for silicon as old as yours.

If, after installing the optional driver packages (as detailed above), the LAN is still not working, you can try to use a later one from somewhere else on Intel's downloads site or you can try to find and download one yourself from Realtek's site.

Like other components, a driver update should have been made available via Windows Update. you have to approve them being downloaded and installed).

They may not have installed automatically, however you should run the Windows Update applet on your system and check whether updated drivers are available as optional downloads (i.e. In fact, you should have had these drivers made available to you via Microsoft's Windows Update service. Windows 8.1 versions of the drivers for many of the silicon components on your board are available from alternate locations. The last officially-supported O/S for the DG41WV board was Windows 7. OK, all of that said, the problem you next run into is that, at the driver downloads web page for your board, there are no drivers for Windows 8.1.

Yes, this is a manual download-and-install methodology the only alternative is going to be Microsoft's Windows Update.

Once running, you are then supposed to get and install newer versions of the drivers from Intel's Download Center web site. The CD is only provided to allow you to get Windows running. By the time that this board and CD were in your hands, the drivers on the CD were likely already out of date. But let's be clear, the Drivers CD contains the most recent versions of drivers available at the time that the board was released. At the time that the CD was released, Windows 8.1 was a far-off glimmer in the future. Yes, this is probable true it was never intended to work on that version of Windows. The Drivers CD will not run on Windows 8.1. I see on this page: "Desktop Boards Microsoft Windows* Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL/WHCK) Information" - my board shows a *BLANK* in the Windows 8/ 8.1 column.ĭoes that mean my motherboard will NOT WORK PROPERLY with Win 8.1? (The the LAN signal lights - both green and amber - come on as soon as I turn the UPS power on, even before I power-up the system)Ĭould this be a software/ driver issue? Or, has my on-board LAN shorted-out? (2) The on-board LAN is not even being read by device manager.īut otherwise, the system seems to be working properly - barring the fact that I cannot use the on-board LAN. (1) The driver CD can no longer run - the software loads, but then it says something like 'this system does not have an Indel Desktop board'.

However, after upgrading to Win 8.1 (32-bit), a number of issues have been cropping up. While I was using Win XP, there was never any trouble. I have had this (Desktop Board DG41WV) board for more than two years.
