Hi

Can anyone help?

I have just fitted a new motherboard gigabyte 7VM333m-RZ, AMD 2400+ Sempron and 512MB ram and a DVD WRITER to my system, but windows 2000 boots up and I am unable to use the mouse or keyboard in the windows environment. There is no cursor at all.

The keyboard work as I can use it to get into the bios and to set windows to go to safe mode but the same happens there.

I do get an error message which is

“Run Dll. Error loading c:\winnt\downloaded program files\ bridge.dll The specified module could not be found.”

Because the mouse or keyboard doesn’t work I can’t get rid of the message.

Also after this is finds new hard ware and then sticks on new hard ware screen, asking you to load drivers for the new DVD writer.

I hope this is enough info for someone to help me

Thanks
Andrew
