Well, replaced my Abit VA6 with a Abit BE6-II v2 yesterday. I used the registry hack (delete ENUM key) before shutting down on the VA6. Then did the swap, re-booted. All looked well as several re-boots found the new mobo devices (I only included my ATI video card - no other cards). But now I'm getting BSOD in Windows (0E error) no matter what I do. I've restored the old registry and re-dropped ENUM key (and subkeys), but the same result.
I'm at the point where I'll re-install Win98SE, but what's the best way to do this (if it can be done) so that I don't have to re-install all my apps??
Can I export the software keys and re-import after the clean install??
Will a re-install over the existing Win98SE image retain the apps (I don't think so)?
I did ghost the disk image the night before onto a second disk, so I could extract any files that may be necessary.
BTW, I think the problem is related to the video card. The card is an ATI All in Wonder 32MB AGP card and the ATI instructions say to de-install the driver by going to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs and click on the ATI display driver to remove it. I didn't do that, but just tried switching back to the standard VGA driver. I also uninstalled ATI's multimedia software and now when I click on the ATI display driver in Add-remove programs, I get an error from rundll32 and it won't uninstall.
Any suggestions on how to reinstall Win98SE and still retain apps (don't want to re-install all my apps).
Sorry for the long post and TIA!!
