How did you install your Windows XP? Did you install it from scratch - or you just use the existing install of WinXP (with your previous motherboard) ....

Hello Ting Sern,
I used the existing installation.
Many thanks

You need to re-install Windows XP.
This is crucial !

So you need to wipe it clean and re-install, so back-up your data first.

XP configures itself to the chipsets on your MB.
For example it needs to know: how to read to and from the hard drive,
how to communicate with the graphics card etc...

Being a new MB, your XP installation is now screwed up not knowing how to talk to your new MB properly.

You need to bite the bullet and re-install XP.

Mr Bill has already answered for me. Basically, each time you change a motherboard, you have to re-install WinXP. Only at installation time, the system will detect all the motherboard resources needed for WinXP to work properly.

Motherboard change.

I thought you could do a re-install of Win XP using the repair mode rather than formatting and doing a clean instal?

[Mr Bill]

You can try this:

but I would still rather wipe it clean & re-install XP....just my 2cents

I'm surprised your machine started at all! Every time I've tried that (several years ago) would guarantee a BSOD!

My favorite self-healing OS was Win98! It worked every time...

Very nice statement (and true)

If you wana use existing windows on new mobo you need to remove all drivers from the system and then re install them.
But the best is a complite new fresh setup.

Repair install might work, but I'd rather go with guaranteed versus might...

In fact I had to replace motherboards on my desktop system recently and I just reinstalled the OS clean. I much rather know what I'm getting into rather than get going on work and have something bad happen later down the road.

Replacing MB's

I have replaced two Gigabyte MB's and used the Win XP repair installation and it worked fine.

[GrassValley_BH]

I should note that it's not a problem if you're replacing a motherboard with the same make/model motherboard. I did that once. Problem is, the replacement board went bad too.

Thank you all for your help. I have installed XP Pro 2 on a new Hard Drive, followed by the MB drivers etc., The Nvidia Video Card drivers etc, then inserted the 2 NX Cards and installed Edius Pro 4. Everything works fine, I have 2 Monitors and a Samsung HD TV as the output for the NX overlay. Howerver when I start a project using AVCHD files converted to Canopus HQ I get a message "you have more than one output option. Please select your output option" How do I do this please?
When I tried to upgrade to Edius 4.65? Edius shutsdown without fully opening and says that the details should be sent to MS. What am I doing wrong for the upgrade to not work?
Many thanks again for your help, and sorry for the addtional trouble I am causing.

The 'more than one output option' dialog box is telling you that you have a choice of OHCI-based presets, and EDIUS NX (NHX-E1) presets. Typically you'd choose a preset belonging to the latter.
