NET framework 3. My last resort has been to try to put the disc from the old PC into the newer one, which also runs Windows 7, and 10, to accommodate all my software. I managed to transfer the drive, but then despite its being used and activated for the past 10 years, the system insisted I needed to activate. All the options brought me back to the beginning again, not allowing me to log on to my own computer, despite paying Microsoft for two copies of XP, this, and the one which used to be on the host PC, long gone, which this replaces.
Any attempt to activate over the internet seems to fail, leaving me with the dubious option of phoning. Thanks Microsoft for being so customer orientated.
I did an emergency motherboard swap on Windows 7, and it fought with this install for a week before finding this answer! Thanks a mil for your knowledge! This time? It would start to boot then BSOD with x7 errors. Once booted, I used a driver hunter to install 63 driver updates. I only had 2 devices for which I had to find drivers. Had I done so in the first place it would have saved me hours of hassle. Of course, reinstalling is the best method if you have no problem wiping the current OS, but these methods help if you only want to reinstall as an absolute last resort.
