    Upgrading P35 to P45, will it require reinstalling Windows XP?

    My Abit IP35-E MB died. I need a new MB but would prefer to not have to reinstall Windows XP at this time. Would upgrading from a P35 to P45 MB allow that or should I just get another P35 board

    Installed new Abit NF7, now my optical mouse LED won't turn off

    I just upgraded my motherboard from an Abit VH6 to an Abit NF7 v2. I have a Logitech optical mouse (installed via PS2) and when the computer turns off the mouse LED stays on. Anyone know how to fix this, I don't want to burn out the LED on the mouse.
