Hi All and a Happy Holidays.

My problem:  New system received by client was DOA.  Traced it to the
Motherboard.  Changed MB to Tekram P6L40-A4.  It is a PII-266/96MB SDRAM,
LX chipset.  Before system would not boot, now boots fine until it hit the
Windows 98 screen.

I realize that this is just a resource conflict between the old and new
MB's, but how in the heck do I get around it?  I cannot boot in to 98 no
matter what I do...safe mode/boot disk whatever.  I CAN get to the command
prompt and have run all the DOS diagnostics and everything comes up clean.

So basically after all the above, my general question is how do I "trick"
the registry into finding all the new hardware without a new install?
Usually I just wipe the HD and start over, but this client has some data on
the HD that i would like to preserve.

TIA


Eric
