I just upgraded my machine, took my old parts and upgraded an older WinME Machine. Essentially all that changed was that I put the older WinMe Harddrive (40GB) on my old Asus A7V8X MB. When I booted it up it detected all the new hardware fine and I installed the drivers off of the MB's driver CD. The onboard LAN and 1394 IEEE Host Controller, along with a pci modem, however, all state that the bios did not assign them an IRQ and to enable them in the bios. I went into the bios but there is nowhere for me to enable or change any settings regarding any of those devices. Any ideas how to remedy this problem? Thanks.

Did you re-install WinME? A motherboard change is pretty heavy.

I would have and I was afraid I might have to but it was a actually a customer's 5 year old computer and they no longer had their disks. They also wanted to keep their current files intact if at all possible. I managed to get it working by loading the defaults on the bios. Thanks for the suggestion.
