with motherboard or downloaded file from ASUS web site.
InstallShield starts then halts and advises Realtek High Definition

System will not allow me to uninstall audio drivers through Device

Really! That's interesting! see if there is an uninstall in the drivers
folder, if there is one, usually the install program creates a folder where
the sound drivers reside, or maybe the install cd has an uninstall process?
Have you talked to Realtek??
and or the motherboard manufactors??
