Known Issues

· Full Screen DOS will only function on the boot display.

· 3Dmark05/06 long run (continuous operation) in loop mode may cause system blue screen and black screen. Please run 3Dmark05/06 once to obtain accurate benchmark score.

Errata / Workaround:

· MS Media Player 9 and Media Player 10 music visualization in full screen can result to blank screen. This is due to visualization invoking 8bpp color which is not a feature for Intel® GMA 500 GFX driver. To resolve this issue, please upgrade to MS Media Player 11.

· Default OS config will only use SW decode for WMV Motion Compensation due to known XP SP3 issue – this may slow down video performance. MS Media Player 10 with a WMV patch are available from Microsoft® website. MS Media Player 11 works without additional patches.
