did you reformatt the hd when you switched the mobos??

or at least attempt to repair the os? you cant just switch mobos and use the same hd its not gonna work properly and will give you problems

Please use a little more punctuation. I had to read this three times and I only think I got what your problem is. As cherry said you have to fix the OS when swapping boards (most of the time).

You may not have to reformat though. Try the repair installation, assuming you have WinXP. It basically reinstalls the OS and saves all of your Data. All drivers, Win Updates, etc go away as well. This will allow you to boot the A7N8X and then install the drivers for it. Not very sure about Win2K or 98.

Hope this helps at least a little.

thanks! repairing the OS did'nt work but i had to format the drive and reinstall Win. Xp !

That fixed it ,all though for any body that does not have a second computer , or the system disk . download all the drvers first before swaping the moobo's , lol .

had to install old mobo download drivers and then reinstall the new one again,lol !
