Anyone with this setup get their graphics drivers to work? Drivers on CD did not work for Video and HD Audio. I got working drivers for audio from Windows Update. Not having much luck on the Intel site. I realize I'm probably missing the obvious somewhere but I'd appreciate any tips or a link.

Just find the GMA950 drivers from somewhere. I can't help you because I'm running it off of Linux.

Nope. Those are right. Don't know why they aren't working. What about them doesn't work?

When I run the driver set up it starts up but eventually says "install fails" or wrong driver type, depending on which driver I used. When I ran the original set up cd it was:

chipset driver "success"
lan driver "success"
etc.
gma/video driver "fails"

Looks like it's a no go. Confirmed on MS forums that video drivers for this chipset/mobo are not supported in WHS. I'm stuck with the default VGA driver.

I completely spaced that you were on WHS. WHS is based on Vista I thought? But glad you found a correct answer.

WHS is based on Server 2003, which is supposed to be based on XP. But yeah, negative on the video. Tried the Vista 32 and 64 drivers just to be sure and they didn't work.

Ah, the installer does not recognize WHS as a supported OS, is all. Download the ZIP package for Windows XP x86: http://downloadmirror.intel.co...36/a08/winxp_14324.zip

Unzip the contents to some temporary directory, go to Device Manager, locate the display adapter (or unknown device), and use 'Update Driver'. Use the advanced option to select or locate the driver yourself, then point the Wizard thingy to the file named igxp32.inf located in the Graphics sub-directory of the folder containing the driver files. Select the file, click OK or Next, the rest should be fairly self-explanatory.

Or you could run without video. Select "Halt at no errors" and the board will merrily boot to the OS and you can connect to it remotely.
