EMachine W3052 with FIC K7MNF-64 Mobo

I got a nforce2 5.10 driver for win2k/xp from driverguide that mostly works with win2k although I still have some issues with it... I got 93.71 forceware from Nvidia to load the display driver.
Interestingly when I boot Ubuntu 9.04 everything just works and I don't have to fight with drivers. I have this disk partitioned for dual boot.
I do like motherboard 2 out of three of them seem to work.

Go to here for the drivers

You need the nforce audio driver for your motherboard. not realtek audio driver

I did just solve all my problems with my own FIC K7MNF-64

Stop error: 0x0000007b / may be caused by attempting to load XP HOME

I've not determined exactly why attempting to load XP Home will cause
error 0x0000007b on the FIC K7MNF-64 , but it does , and it's a situaion not covered in the microsoft artical on it.

From what I can gather XP pro was the offical operating sytem for the board which I've now loaded to mine , windows 98/ME can load to it without problem so that rules out a hardware issue on my end.

eMachine T3395 or W3050 shipped with the FIC K7MNF-64 in them.

Drivers can still be obtained from eMachine for the board as of 8-26-2008
but for XP pro only from what I can see. you may need to hunt around for
98/ME drivers , even if you manage to get 98/ME drivers you will most likely still have a PCI Universal Serial Bus issue so best to load XP pro if possible.


I hope this information saves some people alot of time.

May the nForce2 be with you , always.
