4 days ago - Use the Device Manager to update your drivers in Windows 10. Driver updates for Windows 10, along with many devices, such as network adapters. Are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. SM Bus Controller: Install this driver first and restart the PC. This package contains the Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver for supported notebook models and operating systems. This utility enables the operating system to show the correct name for the installed Intel hardware in the Microsoft Windows Device Manager. The utility will automatically determine the right driver for your system as well as download and install the INTEL 82574 Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver. Being an easy-to-use utility, The Drivers Update Tool is a great alternative to manual installation, which has been recognized by many computer experts and computer magazines.
When I was in my teens and started to learn about fixing computers, one of the first thing I remembered learning was the proper order to install drivers. Installing Windows now is much more simplified and easy compared to Windows 95/98 because we donât need to use a DOS bootup floppy disk, and the vast support of devices on Windows 7. Windows 98 didnât support a lot of drivers and we need to spend quite a lot of time searching and downloading the drivers for chipset, display, sound, modem and printer on the internet using the slow 56Kbps dial up internet connection.
The Driver Update Tool â is a utility that contains more than 27 million official drivers for all hardware, including intel 21143/2 based 10/100 mbps ethernet controller driver.
A very old friend of mine just called me yesterday asking me what and how to install chipset driver. Many people call it a chipset driver but in fact it is not a driver nor does it include drivers. It contains information text files (INFs) that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.
As far as I can remember, the first driver that I should always install is the chipset drivers once Windows installation has been completed, followed by the rest of the drivers. If you install the Intel Chipset Software much later, you will notice that it will not install all INFs.
Actually most of the time youâll find that there is no need to install chipset software because it only gives a proper name for some Intelâs devices. If you prefer to install it but already installed Windows long ago, there is a trick to updates ALL INF drivers on all available devices even if third party drivers are currently installed. Meaning that if youâve never installed the Intel Chipset software and would like to do it now, you can force the update by using the command below:
First you need to make sure that you have Intel chipset. You can run Intel Driver Update Utility which uses either ActiveX or Java to scan your system. Once the product detected shows that you have Intel chipset, then âmanuallyâ download the latest version of the Intel chipset software.
If youâve downloaded the zip version, extract it and youâll get the file name infinst_autol.exe. Instead of just running the setup file that youâve just downloaded, youâll need to run it with an extra command line -OVERALL switch. Techtool pro 6 ttp603_dvd.dmg. For example:
infinst_autol.exe -OVERALL
You will notice that the Intel Chipset software installs more INFs compared to just running the setup alone without the -OVERALL switch. Always remember the saying âif it ainât broke, donât fix itâ. So donât update your device drivers if everything is working well.

I downloaded and renamed it to infinst_autol.exe -OVERALL after that it was not exe (setup file) anymore. did not work on my Windows 7
You donât rename the file. What he gave was the command to input in the Command Prompt program. Use the cd (change directory) command in Command Prompt to navigate to the directory with your infinst_autol.exe, then once youâre in the same directory as the infinst_autol.exe file, run the: Reply
infinst_autol.exe -OVERALL command in Command Prompt.

I am not sure about âmost of the timeâ but there are times when âchipset driversâ need to be installed for proper operation. The inf files tell the OS HOW to âconfigure the the Intel(R) chipset componentsâ to quote Intel. I take that to mean letting the OS know the capablities of the H/W and how to talk to it. From personal experience I have seen a replacement server not function properly because the wrong âchipset drivers were installed.

Chipset drivers are needed. Always install them. Always get the latest ones from the motherboard manufacturerâs website. This is more than just a proper name! The chipset drivers are exactly what the name says: drivers for the main chipset which is the heart of the motherboard. PCIe bridge, DMA controller, USB driver, and other very important chipset functions.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip Raymond.
Its always good idea to install the chipset drivers because in some case you get devices showing a yellow question mark because the Operation System doesnât know who to handle the device.
