So here's my problem: drivers load no problem. The Aureal tray icon even appears in the systray and in control panel. that is where the problem starts, when I try and use the Vortex tools it gives me a "Could not open audio driver file." and I can not get it to load. I downloaded these from aureal (5.10.XXXX) any ideas?

ACID, I had a cel 433 OVCLK to 540 and my Banshee card clocked to 120. I was having all kinds of random freezes and lock-ups. I clocked my Processor back a bit and made sure I had 2.5V core volts and it cleared all the problems up. I would try clocking your proceesor down a bit.

What were you doing when this happend? was it just sitting there on the desktop with nothing running except background apps, browsing the inet? or what?

I had the same problems...first the rebooting then the mounting volume problem. The fix for me was to download the latest ASPI drivers from adaptecs' web site. now I am using nero 4.0.8.3 with no hitch. I had the volume mounting problem first with 4.0.7.5 though after I installed the windows 2000 compat. update. so I figured okay I have a cdrom hardware problem, so I went and got a pioneer 6x dvd....same problem. I then went and downloaded the ASPI from adaptecs' sight and now everything works great. by the way my system is a Matsonic 7112C Mobo, a cel 433, 128mb ram, a guillemot phoenix, a aureal vortex 2 superquad, ext 56k, pioneer 6x dvd, hp 8250i cdrw, win2000 final (2195)

Does your server use ssl? if so do you have it enabled? did your network admin at work give you remote access rights? what protocol does it use? is it TCP/IP, or is it something else (PPP, IPX...etc)? also are your local security settings like for that connection? under network/dial up connections right click the connection that is used and check the settings in there and make sure they are right for that server. when I first installed a stand alone dial up it configured it as a intranet connection instead of dial up so I had to make one of my own and delete the other one then rename the dial up to the others name.....complicated huh.....for whatever reason some programs that configure dial up like it is win98 make it do that

Liveware is the sofware that is used to interface and control the Sound Blaster Live! series of Souncards from creative labs.

are you logged in as administrator or what?

Have you tried setting it to another IRQ? one you know isn't being used. if it works then stick with it if not then try try again. [This message has been edited by Maverick494 (edited 03 March 2000).]

First I had a similar problem like that. it sounds to me like you have the digital audio enabled, and that is cutting sound to one set of your speakers. try seeing if it is disabled or not. it should be in the speaker settings box.

here is a link for you fernando. It has some info for the PC camera Pro Pack. http://support.intel.com/support/createshare/camerapack/pccampro/ or here for the PC camera Pack http://support.intel.com/support/createshare/camerapack/pccam/ and damien he gave plenty of info....and driverguide sucks.

Here is where you can find the latest drivers for that card. (even if it does suck like the one I have in my other computer.) http://www.s3.com/customer_caretechnical_supportdrivers.htm

EM, I have the gameport version so it is a bit different. However does it have drivers in WIN2K or is it just generic drivers?

That sounds like you Best bet.....that way you can look at the HCL....my reccomendation for video is the V3 3000...and the sound card recommendation is an Aureal Vortex 2 Super Quad....all OEM of course. (although the Aureal Sound card doesn't have any drivers available yet, but niether does the SBLive! really either.)

I went out yesterday and bought a gamepad pro, without thinking that the drivers for WIN2K were not going to be available. Sure enough I wrote to gravis and got a response today. They said sometime in spring they will have drivers....and so far I have had no luck with it as a 4 button game pad even. I will see what I can figure out and keep u posted.

Without knowing the Mobo chipset exactly(CA810 or SU810), I can only direct you to these 3 sites. Your Graphics chip is definately one of the new intel 810 series built in AGP to the MOBO. and the sound is also integrated into the MOBO. SO for the sound, as near as I can tell (only thing offered is a WINNT 4.0 driver which is iffy)one of these: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/ca/ca_drive.htm http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/su/su_drive.htm and for graphics(again only winnt4 drivers far as I can tell): http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/software.htm My sympathies go out to you. you bought a computer with one of the most useless graphics and sound interfaces, that exsists. and with no AGP expansion solt your pretty much stuck. My best recommendation is to try and sell it off to someone who doesn't care and that wants an easy to use, no brains required computer, for about what you paid. Then go build a custom system.
