Just upgraded new motherboard (ecs p4m800-m7, socket lga775 board)and cpu (pentium 4 630, 3.0 GHz w/ HT) from older Asus Tusi-M, socket 370/Celeron, 1GHz.

The install went well until Windows didn't start up. So, I tried to do a boot up from my Win XP Pro disc. Went into install, chose repair mode. After XP went thru the repair, the system booted up again and then goes into the dreaded BLUE SCREEN...because of conflict with the file, ipvnmon.sys

I've tried:
--booting from Safe Mode
--using Recovery Console
--another repair install
--booting from "last known good configuration"
All of these with no success.

One person mentioned that removing ipvnmon.sys seemed to help their situation. This file is located in c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. Is there a way to go in at system startup, go into DOS and remove the ipvnmon.sys file. I also read from another poster that by adding a different file extentions might get rid of the problem (for example, to ipvnmon.sys.xxx). Is there a way to change the file extension in DOS?

If there is a way, please give VERY detailed instructions on how to do it. I'm not even close to knowing anything about DOS.

Also, if there is any other suggestions for getting by this booting problem due to this file please let me know.

I've considered reinstalling a clean XP install, but I wanted to install into the same hard drive the original XP install was on.....and I get a message saying that it isn't suggested doing that and that I should install on another drive and that I should go to XP's website about multiple installs.

Thanks in advance for the help!
