DVDSetup failed to load hardware monitor driver!

Not a fix for the problem but a workaround.

Most of those DVD/CD's that come with hardware are really not good for much more than using as a coaster. Better option for the drivers is to go and download them directly from the hardware or chipset manufacturer. That way you always have the latest version, and avoid the usually inevitable having to update them anyway.

Is your motherboard an MSI one ? If so, see this site for the reason you may be seeing the message and possible solutions.

Fix: Failed to load Hardware Monitor Driver - Appuals.com

ps: as stormy13 suggested the best alterantive is to directly download the drivers you need from the motherboard maker ( that way, also, the drivers may be more up to date ).

I have never had this (MSI) MB dvd not run on win7 install, or any MB dvd fail to run, for that matter.


I am aware to go to manufacturer for latest drivers.


Wish I knew the answer as to why the dvd won't 'run'

My other PC, an asus Z270 chip, the MB dvd that came with the hardware on that PC, I used that dvd for install, just flashed bios to latest & been running great with OS win7 & win10 for about a year now, using drivers that were included with MB/DVD.


Thanks!

If it helps any, in 15+ years of building computers (have never bought an appliance PC) I have never used the disk that came with the motherboard/video card/etc. Any drivers on those disks are one of two things,

1. Already outdated even when the hardware is new.

2. So out dated that whatever Windows installs is newer than what is on the disk.

About the only time that those driver disks are of any benefit ia when Windows doesn't have a native driver of its own. And even if Windows does have a native driver you can get newer directly from the manufacturer.

I have been building computers for 16+ years and have always used dvd that came with the hardware, never an issue until this msi dvd with win10 .

back on topic-

' *Open MB DVD and right click DVD Setup application, selected / clicked Run as Administrator, and still get DVDSetup failed to load hardware monitor driver! This program must run as administrator'..I ran as Admin and it still won't run. '

Wish I knew the answer as to why the dvd won't 'run' even as administrator'..

thanks
