Re: Windows Xp.... :(
two things:
try www.driverguide.com with the
username: drivers
password: all
if there are no XP drivers, use your win2k drivers, but not NT4 drivers
Chef, XP is based on the NT kernel as it is NT 5.1 like 2k was NT 5.0

i l0ve xp
in my opinion, i actually like xp compared to 98.
when it was was first releasesd,xp got a bad rep for bugs and compatibilty issues.
for instance,geforce2 drivers had problems (no native xp drivers),but a simple Detonator download fixed that.
ok,some older programs dont like xp, but there are/should be patches to fix this.
XP does seem kind of baby-ish though with its simple, user friendly interface and irritating help menus.

Re: Windows Xp.... :( ):
I dissagree with that blessing thing, but I do agree with that new look thing, that's the best thing to attract customers. New shiny look, and great help, so you'll know how to fix things
It's like to repaint your junk, so it would drive better (lol)
Cheers

Answers instead of opinions please
Any chance of getting an actually answer to an issue or a suggestion to fix the current problem with the exception of installing another OS?
I'm having an issue with XP not recognizing my VIA master bus driver as well. An XP solution or suggestion would be much appreciated.
Don't bitch about stability and Windows. Those don't go hand in hand. Use Linux if you want stability you freaks, some people like all the features though.

i would reinstall the 4-1 drivers, you should be able to get the latest from the mobo manufacture site.

I've used 98, me, 2k and xp pro.. for the "home" (or in other words dumb) computer user, ME is recommended over 98 (because of system restore and other safety features) XP has been my OS in use ever since i got it. One important note - if you do not tweak it like crazy, and do not maintain it on the regular basis, you will not be completely satisfied, but when maintained, it can be a joyous XPerience... 2k.. too much like 98 for me.. (ugly) and compatitbility sux.. no comment on speed between the os's as i haven't noticed any difference from OS, your maintenance procedures and HW determine speed.
