Asus mother boards sometimes they don't want to recognize some components (monitor, video drivers don't work correctly or anything like it) so that will take you to think that could be the drivers right?.

So you install them again and again and for some reason the PC still won't recognize them. Well you may also think that the mother board it's messed up, the monitor, or maybe the cable, etc...

Well here's the deal with Asus mother boards, they need to have a full battery in order to operate correctly, if the battery is low then he will stop recognizing a few components when you turn it on. So make sure to check that out first.

well first things first unplug your PC, make sure to get a piece of plastic a hard one so you can remove the old battery (because sometimes it could be hard to take it out) wait a few seconds (like 15-20 secs. just to make sure the Bios will start fresh) then insert your new battery and that should do the trick automatically will recognize every component in your machine.

Installing Visual Studio 2010 RC1 on XP SP3

Installing Visual Studio 2010


After a few hours with a friend we finally figured it out!.

Here's the problem with Windows XP and this entry, the developer forgot a huge detail. The "boot.ini" is not the one with the program (Visual Studio) is the one on the PC the one in the "C:/" so... go to my computer add search "boot.ini" and look up for the one located in the C:/ then open it with note pad (right click open with: note pad) make sure you make a back up of the original one (In case that you mess it up) so now that you got your copy with the original code, edit it with this one here.

THE CODE THAT YOU GOING TO USE IN ORDER TO INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO 2010. 

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff



After installing Visual Studio 2010. make sure that you rewrite the "boot.ini" file with the original code!!!!

DON'T FORGET THIS!!!! so once you're done with the installation paste the original code in the file.

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL CODE

[boot loader]
timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NoExecute=optin /fastdetect



SAVE IT AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!. NJOY!
