MrX:
you people don't make worthless posts about nothing. really nobody cares if you are 13 so just put that in your profile and delete your worthless posts above and leave room for this one.
usually when you replace the motherboard in windows systems we delete a registry key that houses all the device manager stuff. this clears it and so when we reboot with the new equipment the computer thinks it is new and we can start all over and install the new drivers. in windows 98, i would run 'regedit' then I would navigate to
+hkey_local_machine
____+driver
____+hardware
____+enum

go into add/remove get rid of all your old drivers if you can uninstall them from there.
delete those three subkeys (with the ___) and when you reboot with your new hardware just install the drivers and trouble shoot the yellow ! items things should work.

now we don't need IE to do windows updates. you need this handy FF plugin!

hope this helps

Lead Head:
Thank you but I used to switch win 98 HDs from PC to PC without any problems. But what you stated above does not work under XP, i will just have to do a fresh install.
