Probably.
When you change the motherboard, unless the new one is identical to
the old, you have to at least do a repair installation of Windows. See
"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
That's usually sufficient, but you should be aware that occasionally a
repair installation isn't good enough, and you will need to reinstall
Windows cleanly.

Thanks Ken,
I did the repair-installation, now when Windows starts, it tells me I need
to reactivate. Then when I click OK, it tels me It is already activated. Is
there any hope?
This software was installed on the Gateway system when I purchased it. They
have sold support to MPC, and they are ABSOLUTELY NO HELP!
Thanks again,

Thanks again Shenan,
I tried that before I posted last. It did nothing. Someone told me that
Gateway may have locked their installation to the old drive or motherboard.
Could that be the problem now? If so, what can I do?
