Known Issues List:


- ISSUE: Logging off and then re-logging on to Windows XP based system
will cause the Intel Desktop Control Center to display a fatal
error message during launch. This does not occur with systems
using Windows Vista.
STATUS: This issue is under investigation.
WORKAROUND: To prevent this issue, do not log off after you have logged on
and intend to use IDCC. If you unintentionally log off the
system, then IDCC can be re-launched only after the system is
shut down and restarted.


- ISSUE: The system intermittently crashes and reboots when doing an
apply or restore of the memory palette if changes to the memory
palette involve multiple values.
STATUS: This issue is under investigation.
WORKAROUND: When making changes to the memory palette, try to make only
one change (and apply/save) each time.


- ISSUE: When large increment changes are made in the manual tuning
palettes, the system becomes unstable.
WORKAROUND: Select and apply small value changes such as 1% to 5% increments
when adjusting system performance.


- ISSUE: When configured with Microsoft Windows* Vista*, the CPU voltage
tooltip displays the Enhanced Intel(R) Speedstep (EIST) setting
different from what it is in the BIOS.
STATUS: Investigating.


- ISSUE: Hardware changes, such as memory type and processor, may invalidate
presets, and certain service release updates may not be compatible
with presets generated from an older version.
WORKAROUND: Only use presets that were created with the same
version of Intel Desktop Control Center and with the same hardware
configuration. If you wish to change hardware or upgrade to a
newer version of the application, document the presets you wish to
reuse.


- ISSUE: When the Help file is maximized clicking Intel Desktop Control
Center on the taskbar causes display anomalies between the
application and Help file window.
WORKAROUND: Close the Help file window before clicking Intel Desktop
Control Center on the taskbar.


- ISSUE: The main console does not fully display when the resolution is
reduced to 800x600.
WORKAROUND: Use the recommended 1024x768 resolution with 16-bit color
or higher and Normal font size.


- ISSUE: When large fonts are used, the display is distorted.
WORKAROUND: Use the recommended 1024x768 resolution with 16-bit color
or higher and Normal font size.


- ISSUE: Changing the Host Clock Frequency (HCF) does not take immediate
effect when running CPU-Z.
WORKAROUND: When the HCF is changed, an additional reboot is required
to load the changes if CPU-Z is or was running.


- ISSUE: When the system is connected to a router that is not on a
network, installation is slow (about five minutes) and
operation response is slow.
STATUS: No changes planned. The system can be removed from the router
or the router should be connected to a fully working network
with Internet access.


It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed a wrong driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
