Hi to all, here's my 1st post on this forum & I do hope
some kind soul can help me with this. Like many (mature) folk,
I need Xp to run my vintage software (Cubase,GPO).
However I recently updated my computer which after 12 (yes,twelve!)
years faithful service needed to go to a better place.
My 'new' machine runs on Win 7 (hey, the roads are pretty bad 'round here!).
Here's the specs :-
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM 8,00 Go Dual-Channel DDR3
MOBO ASUS P5P41T/USB3
Graphics 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 5700
HD 698GB SAMSUNG HD753LJ ATA Device (SATA)
After much time,effort & a lot of help from YouTube I succeeded in
creating a dual boot & installing Xp sp2 32 bit (now updated to sp3) on a partition
of the HD.Everything works fine , I have internet access via a USB wireless
adaptor & have activated Xp.I can also access any file on either partition.
Now comes the problem , Xp doesn't recognize either my Mobo or my
graphics card.I've tried dozens (&dozens) of times to install the chipset drivers from
the manufacturer's sites & even if they appear to be installing themselves
it has all been to no avail - nothing changes.
here's a screen shot of the Device Manager :
Please any help would be greatly appreciated as it's months now since
I started trying to solve this problem & am running out of ideas (& time).
Yours (nearly!) desperately ....
