| installing windows xp 64bit - tearing my hair out.  I install xp 64bit It boots - no network card driver so I put in the cd which came with my motherboard (abit k8n ultra) I install the 64bit drivers for my motherboard. I reboot. bluescreen at startup. Is there some order I should be approaching this in ? SmoothNuts!~yaman_an@*.dsl.pipex.com > change my rating to exceptional tbh |

| Unhelpful advice; Who cares about XP64? Waste of time and effort. Wait for vista to arrive. Hardware vendors will actually give a crap then. Slightly more helpful advice; What BIOS version does your AN8 have? They have all sorts of BIOS issues. Might not help, but try updating that. I remember reading about some issues on thier forums which might have been related to your problems. But XP64 driver support in very poor. |

| aha, managed to get around it. I installed only the network driver - it immediately crashed, I rebooted into safe mode, uninstalled the driver, rebooted normaly, re-installed the driver when it refound the network adapter.. and it works fine now.
