I recently bought a nice new ASUS A7V133A ATX Motherboard and got all my stuff working on it from my older Gigabyte 71XE4 Motherboard, But now when i have formatted my drive and put Windows XP back on i find that all games crash when loading (Midtown Madness 1 + 2,Serious Sam,etc) and also i get an error from Windows Media Player (The specified key is not valid)when trying to play music. The soundcard works fine as Realplayer and Media Player 6 plays music. Iv updated all drivers for all my stuff and flashed the BIOS but still the same, i also installed Windows XP Home and WIndows 2000 Pro and these do exactly the same. What can i do?
 
Thanx

I think it's something about Media player marking the files if they were ripped under them. Otherwise I don't know. I don't really care for MP myself...
 
If you haven't already, get and install the Via latency patch. Also, reserve an IRQ in BIOS.
