Also a thing: a mobo change would cause enough components to change that 
Windows will need re-Validation (of the fact that you have a Genuine Windows).

I'd boot to a XP cd, choose a repair installation, install, then drivers, and 
if all else fails recover data and reinstall. XP drops off updates in less than 
a year now so it's really only a matter of time anyhow.

These could be worked around with flashing the BIOS if it has a newer version.
Sometimes there's OS limitation too, but that's easier to fix.

Windows version? some of the later ones can even fix this natively if you have 
the cd.

You should be able to recovery boot from cd then, and a sysprep would
probably fix your issue.

[nlug] QLab alternative?

[JMJ]

Greetings!

I'm looking for a FOSS alternative for QLab. [0]  Primary need is for 
easy-to-manage cueing for both audio and video.


Simple playlist functionality won't really do the job.  I need this to 
work sort of like a Impress/Powerpoint presentation, but with 
audio/video files.


I've found Soundboard [1], but it only does audio.  LiVES [2] is 
overkill on video features, and I don't think it has the necessary 
cueing functionality.


Any suggestions?

Thanks!


JMJ
