Hey guys, i bought a new mobo, the MSI K9A NEO off ebay and it just arrived today. Took the old broken piece of crap out and put this baby in. Starts up now, i get into windows and i sit at the desktop, however i noticed some of the applications dont work..? Like Windows Media Player wont open, Windows Live Messenger wont and my DVD Maker software wont open either while others like iTunes and Mozilla work just fine. The ones that dont work give me an error saying something about not being properly registered programs. And some other errors to do with Kernell.dll i think.

Im thinking:
A) I need to install the new mobo drivers or something? (Havent installed anything new yet or removed anything from the old one)

B) I need to reformat cause some of my stuff got corrupted?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If you havent reinstalled windows you will need to do that, and when windows has been reinstalled put your mobo disk in and install the drivers from it, then install your graphic card drivers.

I had a VIA-chipset based motherboard by FIC with an Athlon XP 2700+ processor, and I swapped it for a Biostar VIA-chipset based motherboard with an Athlon 64 X2 4200+. I was shocked that XP booted up.

The thing is, that was the lazy way to do it. You really need to do like meanman says and reformat and reinstall Windows and all your applications from scratch. Presently your registry and other Windows details don't match up with your apps like they should. One of these days, I'll do it as well, because this thing's a bit flaky with Power Management and a few games.
