Default New PC, ME with old BIOS

PS. if you've not already found out by now - your mouse will probably cease
to function when you 'Remove' it, so you'll have to navigate via the cursor
(and Tab) keys to continue - until you reboot and re-detect it.

Fine, Mart. Just confirm for me that you want me to remove *all*
the stuff in that list of devices, reboot in *Normal* mode?


Yes, remove _everything_. The one driver that you can't really change in
this way is ACPI power management which if present but not supported by
the bios on the new motherboard may require a clean install of Win Me to
correct.

Removing all the devices in the device manager and rebooting will put the
system back to the state it would be, driver wise, following a clean
install of the operating system. Once you have the system in this state
you will need to install the various drivers required for your hardware
starting with the chipset drivers for your new motherboard.
