Have tried installing Intel Accelerator, correct version for my board.
It installs then on reboot I'm stuck on the Blue Caterpillar screen and
after 15 minutes chickened out , rebooted F8 and used last known
configuration that worked. Then I removed Intel Accelerator.
Can anyone give any advice on how to install this program?
Everything was closed down. Msconfig/Disable all Startup items/ Disable all
Non-MS services/ Reboot and then Install.
