"Additional Notes

If the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) driver has not been
successfully installed, you may see an error on a
"PCI Simple Communications Controller" in Device Manager."

Just a guess (as it sounds a lot like a serial port).

There is a version on the Asus site, under the "Utilities"
section of the download page for your board. But the file
is 250MB, which has gotta be a mistake. The one on the Intel
site is around 9MB. I suppose if we multiply that by 24 languages,
that might explain it, but still, 250MB is excessive.

"Intel Management Engine Interface V7.0.0.1118
for Windows 32/64bit XP & 32/64bit Vista& 32/64bit 7."

So I don't know what is hiding in there. You could "Explore" your
motherboard CD, and see if there is an "MEI" file on it.

Hilarious. That 250MB download on the Asua site ? Most of that,
is a copy of dotnetfx35.exe installer file, plus a much smaller
"real file" to install. So most of your download time, on the
bloated 250MB Asus download, is spent getting a Microsoft file
(which you may or may not have a copy of already).

It looks like I've had that file on disk here, since 2009. So
plenty of opportunities to already have it.
