Motherboard and XP
Wondering if anyone has had any experience with this mobo. I have an Asus p5AB Super 7 with an AMdk6/2 350. When I was trying to update from W98 to XP i got a Block Message something like "your motherboard and video are showing incompatibilities. Contact your manufacturer...etc."
The video is a Matrox Millenium G200. Drivers have been updated. Are there certain mobo/video combinations that cannot support XP? |

Are you installing XP over the top of 98?
If so try doing a clean install onto a freshly formatted hard drive, I've found it works a lot better |

I am confused. Normally when I install XP the old system is wiped, formatted and 100% new installed. This time I must install over W98 to keep what is on the drive. Not my choice but how the customer wants it done

Except that it's not working. There is this error about motherboard video incompatibility. I don't understand it since the video is working fine in w98

You will have to do a clean install. Click on that hardware tab under system and see if there are any problems and tell us the descriptions.

The system as is today in W98 has no issues at all. Everything is running fine. As stated before the client does not want a fresh install, just a over install. He did not back anything up and does not plan to back anything up. He just wants to run it right over w98.
I just may hae to do the backup for him and do the fresh install. |

You could make a new partition and install XP on it and make it a dual boot.

that should not prevent it from installing, you may have to set the video to min settings and then install xp, then download the new drivers for xp and the video card
