You are correct. I have not used this forum before, so
let me try again. I did go back thru windows setup again
and even had to re register my windows software because
it was such a big change. But my system is up and running
and I have no problems with any thing at all except the
afore mentioned problem. I only put these new driver in
for the mother board because it was the latest. I am
using the computer right now as we speak. I did not know
if there was some kind of register entry to reset the
install flag for a program so you could start over or not?
