Recently, I was required to replace my motherboard. I purchased and installed a ASUS A7N8X unit and am using the AMD Athlon(tm) processor with 512MB RAM from Kingston from the previous ASUS A7M266 motherboard.
This happens to be the third ASUS motherboard on this particular installation of WIN98SE and I am now aware that some of the problems I am having are related to the previous motherboard's system drivers, as I never removed them. For example, when I first installed the A7N8X unit, I had some boot problems with items loading in my startup group. Having resolved those issues I am now currently experiencing others I cannot resolve. The system boots and runs correctly except that my intergrated sound card does not work and Windows System Information is reporting the following problem under System Information\Components\Problem Devices:
ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
System
This Device Has a Problem: Code=9 (0x9)
Device failure: Try changing the driver for this device. If that doesn't work,
see your hardware documentation.
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\enum\ACPI\*PNP0C0F\00000011
Alloc resources: None
Forced resources: None
Boot resources: None
Filtered resources: None
Basic resources: None
Driver: System\0009
Driver Date: 4-23-1999
Is there a an way to remove all the old motherboard drivers without a complete reinstall of WIN98SE? Maybe a piece of software that could do it. I have already ran "Regfix" and "Norton SystemWorks" without sucess and even deleted somethings from the window regestry that were obvious to me.
I thank you in advance for any assistance you could give in this matter.
