    I have tried every softmod I could find, The ones via bootmgr hang the boot sequence to an endless loop. Gets to boot loader and the restarts. Reinstall Vista/SP1 and try another. Nothing seems to work with this motherboard.

    Tried this everest program to look for the slic table and under motherboard/ACPI/ there is only the rssd no slic.

    Is there a way around this or is this motherboard only going to run XP?

    I pretty comfortable with building these and setting them up but have not done any BIOS work.

    Have you tried Visla Loader 2.1.2 , or even newer 3.0 ?
    There has been some reports that some of the boards that hang on boot with Visa Loader, have been succesifuly activated using Paradox.

    Hope this helps...:)

    Use the search function therefore, if not found make a proper request for a mod.

    I have searched and cannot find any info on it.


    Where do I make this request. The two big threads about it are locked.
