trials_pimp Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Right.Installed a new motherboard in my PC.Was told I should re-instal Windows so it runs the right drivers in Windows for the New Board.Now my windows is slow to start, and im told this is because its searching for the wrong drivers.Is there anyway to get rid of the old motherboard drivers without reinstalling windows, as I dont have a version to install.

Dave6895 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Umm slow booting. Can be a lot of things, mainly the new motherbord it having a large BIOS.You've done the right thing of re-installing Windows, how did you do it thouhg? Through BIOS i hope and a full formatt? If not then there is your problemWindows doesn't surplie full drivers to everything, it knows whats on there and how to run it sorta. You'd still need to add drivers to make it run sweet.Do you have a copy of Windows? I guess your running/wanting XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit torrent one maybe. It's also a valid CD key you need as well. I'm not sure what TF's rule is on piracy so i stop there. Is Vista worth the bucks, im perfectly happy with XPPersonly Vista is highly rated, taken a white paper servered on Bill to get SP1 for it and even then it's public BETA. It's also depends what you PC spec is.XP is fine and is what i recomend highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
