We have just acquired two new PCs fitted with the Asus A7V8X-MX SE
motherboard with integrated VIA/S3 Unichrome II KM400 graphics adaptor.
The computers were supplied with Windows XP Home edition preinstalled by
the OEM, which we upgraded by installing XP Pro over the top. During the
installation we were asked to provide the drivers for the graphics
adapter. The adapter installation from the CD supplied by ASUS failed,
and a separately downloaded set of drivers from ASUS's website also
failed to install. These installations used the setup installer included
with VIA's drivers.
We also tried the Add New Hardware wizard to install, this also failed
with a Code 10 could not start device error.
The user was logged into the local machine as Administrator with full
unrestricted access to the machine at the time.
It has been suggested that custom software installed by the OEM might
have blocked the installation. We have a separate site license for XP Pro
full edition and are going to try installing that before returning the
computers to the OEM for warrantied remedy.
Below are the results of the installation from the installer's own log
files as well as the setupapi log entries.
