# Intel® PROSet Software for Intel Wired Adapters

Intel PROSet enables you to test and configure Intel wired network adapters. You can install Intel PROSet on computers running Windows* 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. For details about installing Intel PROSet, see the instructions below.

## Installing Intel PROSet

#### Requirements

- The computer must be running either Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.

- You must have administrative rights on the computer where you are installing the software.

When you run the Installer, it checks to see if a previous version of the drivers or Intel PROSet exists on your computer. If a previous version exists, it is upgraded to the latest version. Any settings specified in the previous version are applied to the upgrade version.

1. If you have the Product CD, insert the CD. If you downloaded the software from the support website, make sure you know what directory the downloaded software is located in.

2. If you have the Product CD, the Autorun window is displayed automatically. Otherwise, double-click the Autorun file that you downloaded with the software or the Autorun file in the root of the Product CD.

3. From the Autorun window, click the Install Software button. The installation dialog box displays.

4. Click Next to continue with the installation. If the installer has not run before, a dialog box appears with the license agreement. Click I accept to accept the license agreement and continue with the installation.

5. In the Setup Type dialog, click:

> - Typical to install adapter drivers and Intel PROSet

> - Custom to select the features you would like to install

> Click Next.

4. If you selected Typical, click Install.
   If you selected Custom, the Custom Setup dialog displays and lists the features you can install.

> - To select or deselect a feature for installation, click the icon adjacent to the feature. If the feature has one or more sub-features, use the plus (+) sign to expand the tree.

> - To change the installation location, click Change and then browse to the new location.

> - To ensure there is enough disk space on the local drive for the selected features, click Disk Space or Space.

> - For information about how to select or deselect features, click Help.

> After customizing the installation, click Next. Then click Install.

5. Click Finish.
   The Installer closes.

6. Restart your computer if prompted.

After installing Intel PROSet and restarting the computer, two icons appear, as shown below. Double-click either icon to run Intel PROSet.

System Tray Icon: |
Control Panel Icon: |

You can also start Intel PROSet by selecting it in the Start -> Programs menu.

NOTE: In Windows XP, the default display "theme" prevents the Intel PROSet control panel from opening. You can circumvent this problem by opening the Display control panel and selecting the "Windows Classic" theme.
