Changing hardware and windows

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

So my motherboard went the otherday and I have had to stick in another one with a different lower spec cpu, different memory and AGP vdu from a PCI-E vdu.I am in windows but it wont detect my network connection.

I have never before had to install any drivers to get online as windows sorts it from setup. I am guessing as I have changed hardware It wont re configure its self. Is there anyway I can get it to ditch what its setup and have it start with the current hardware. I really dont wanna format at the moment.

Boot in safemode mate (F2)

Go into control panel and add/ remove programs and uninstall all ATi/ Nvidia/ AMD/ Intel drivers etc.

Then reboot.

If activation problem occurs, call microsoft and they should help with a new activation code (they did for me once when a similar thing happened to me)

They are not listed mate. There are no Vista drivers for my equipment except the gfx and sound. All motherboard related stuff is installed by windows. I cant find anything to uninstall and it wont go online because it hasn't properly fired up my network




UPDATE:
Problem fixed. Thanks.
