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 ?
restart in safe mode (or last best known config thingy), try again?
tried that - it boots into safe mode perfectly, but I still can't get onto the net.
try getting different drivers onto a cd or something?
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.
When is Vista due?
Like what ? :confused:Quote:
