Lost Windows Update Drivers (Greyed Out)??

[Dwayne H.]

I replaced my motherboard and I no longer have access to
the "drivers" section of Windows Update..? Can anyone
locate a KB article for this?

I reinstalled the OS on a fresh HD, and I still have no
access to the drivers area. My laptop works fine.

Is this something new with Windows Update?

You may need to re-activate XP in order to get the drivers section back.
Windows XP bases the activation request on serveral internal components of
the old motherboard. Since you changed it, Windows XP and Windows Update
may be confused.

I've already reinstalled the OS which doesn't change
anything...
