Eddy, I’ve installed 7zip and the readme file says: Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z. No mention of EXE.
Nevertheless I tried using it to unpack the exe file without success. I tried an old version of WinRAR too.
I guess I need to find out from Gigabyte what to do with the file. It’s dated 2012/01/17 which is well before I had the board installed.
In the meantime I tried ‘updating’ the driver for the Realtek network adapter from the driver files for the main board already on my hard drive, but it just said it ‘could not find a better match’. At the moment I’m a little nervous about removing the driver and then re-installing it to fix any corruption, but I’ll follow any recommendation you make.
