i know this is caused by the presense of a different
chipset on the board from when the software was originally
installed and is by design..... but does anyone know a way
to get around this problem.

Greetings --

Normally, unless the new motherboard is virtually identical to the
old one (same chipset, IDE controllers, etc), you'll most likely need
to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation, at the
very least (and don't forget to reinstall any service packs and
subsequent hot fixes):
