I just did a reinstall after formatting my HD. (Hey, wadda ya know. Sometimes
messing with the registry really DOES cause your PC to not reboot) of Win XP
Pro, added SP2 of course. All updates installed. My problem is, I can't get
anything to recognize that the motherboard is an Asus model xxxx. (I can
supply that, and any other tech info if needed.) On the device manager it's
listed as "system board". No details listed in msinfo32 other than "system
board" either. On the original install, no problem. But now, when I try to
install Asus software, I'm told I don't have an Asus mobo. I did before I
formatted and reinstalled. I didn't remove it at any time, nor did anyone
else, so its still in there. I'm not sure if this is a Windows related
problem or not, but y'all have been great in the past with your advice, so I
thought I would give it a shot.
