Hi all,
I'm running XP Pro. I used a program called "BootSkin" to change my splash screen back to the original (with "Professional" on it).
I hooked up my old drive to my new MoBo (GA-M68SM-S2 [rev. 1]) and I retained my BootSkin splash screen through several reboots.
I installed the audio drivers, rebooted, and I still had my custom splash screen.
However, when I installed the chipset drivers (NVIDIA SMBus Driver; NVIDIA Away Mode Driver; NVIDIA Ethernet Driver; NVIDIA Storage Driver) I got a BSOD that pointed to "vidstub.sys". And, no matter which version of BootSkin I used, I still get the BSOD.
I'm running 2 IDE drives and may install a couple of SATA drives down the line somewhere — but that's it. I've got a new vidcard, so I don't need the on-board graphics; and I'm using the built-in audio.
Anyway, which of the above drivers do I really need? My thinking is that since this board is Vista\Win7 ready, Vista drivers have been installed and are interfering with XP; but I don't know which or if they are.
Ideas?
