Let me make sure I am hearing this right... you swapped the motherboard and processor but kept all of the other components the same and tried to boot up the machine without reinstalling the OS?

Hi All, I nearly had a major problem, I have just spent the last 3 hours trying to get P99SE to run on my new AMD 2000+ machine running PC2700 DDR ram (the new 333Mhz stuff).... Problem #1 Protel was crashing on most operations (start auto router then stop it and it would crash) Problem #2 All my (well the 5 I tried) DDB's would fail to open, If I tried to repair I would get a JET DATABASE error of -1023 (or -1032). Background: This machine was a victim of M$ OS BS Change a Motherboard so I can use a new CPU and M$ thinks it is a new install even though the Network card and HDD are the same (ARRRRGGGHHHH) so it was time to start from scratch (and as I was I put a new 40Gb 7200 RPM drive in as I now HAD to reinstall all the software and the old one is 2 years old, running 24/7) Solution: In my haste to reinstall everything I forgot ONE minor Step to run the SP6 for Protel. SO now a question, is it just me or does SP6 save a DDB so no previous release can open them ??????? I will remember this one, as it frustrated me. BTW all my projects are on a network drive so I can access them from both the Office PC and the Workshop PC. Regards, Kat. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
