XP Setup wierdness

Mike, if you have a new board and new processor, the
information store in your hard drive will never work with
the rest, I suggest you to back up all the information
(if You can) and start all over again even format your
hard drive ( very important) It'll be the faster way to
solve your problem.

Can anybody tell me how to fix this one? I'm using XP
Pro.

Situation: I upgraded my wifes computer to AMD2600 chip,
PC3200 RAM, new DVD burner, extra 80 gig HDD.

I put all these parts, the old video card (MSI GeForce-2-
MX 400), capture card (disabled),
and old hard drive containing the O/S on the new board,
an
Aopen AK79D-400 Max.

It blue screened at boot. i did the XP Repair process
using the CD. Had to reactivate over the phone. I cannot
get an IP address out of APIPA range. IPconfig /release
does nothing, and /renew tells me "an operation was
attempted on something that was not a socket".

I reinstalled all the drivers, even went to the registry
and deleted all references to any "local area
connection",
rebooted and reinstalled drivers. Added the linksys card
from the old XP box, same errors as with the built in
NIC.

If I manually configure an address, I can ping the
gateway
and browse my network, but still cannot install
Roadrunner
software, as there are "No Network Cards Installed"
(even
though I can browse my network. Sometimes the error says
the card is configured for DHCP, but cannot release or
renew an ip address. (It IS set up for DHCP in its
properties)

References to DHCP event ID 1006 on the web hint at a
socket or TCP/IP stack problem,(requested service
provider
could not be loaded or initialized)Unlike Win2k, I
cannot
figure out how to reinstall TCP/IP in XP Pro

ANY suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Thanks Nicolas. I have actually started that re-install process, and thought
I'd give the group one last check to be sure. I wonder what the difference
is that 2000 would allow this but XP won't?
