What drivers are you using? I've been hearing about a lot of problems with the new LiveWare! 3.0 drivers. Personally I'm getting a lot of popping and hissing of the 3.0 drivers. If you've switched to the 3.0 drivers and the problems started then, I'd recommend reinstalling the W2K default drivers and kissing EAX sound goodbye until Creative gets their drivers fixed.

(Posted again from Other Forum Question) I've had the same problem on an EPOX VIA MVP3G2 motherboard. It turns out that it is a power supply problem on my end. When the system boots, power is sent to ALL the fans, cards and drives in your system to initilize them. If this goes over your power threshold on your power supply, it forces a reboot. I started having this problem after adding a CD-RW drive and SEVERAL more cooling fans to my system. If you've got a lot of hardware under the hood, I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 300W power supply. Now if you have an ungodly amount of juice off your power supply, I don't know what to say. But try adding up the wattage usage of your hardware and you will probably see that you are over the limit. I hope this helps!

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with W2K to Win98SE peer-to-peer networking. I don't have any problems accessing the Win98SE system except for one fact....it takes forever to move around in directories. There is normally a 30-60 sec lag before any file/folder information appears. I'm using a 10/100 Linksys card and hub setup. Any help would be appreciated!

Make sure that your motherboard supports SCSI boot and that if it does, it supports your card. You may also try setting the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM drive to other variables. If you also have a non-SCSI CD/DVD-Drive this might be causing some confusion at the motherboard.

To get the other buttons on the Intellieye to work, just map their value to a keyboard key and them map that key to a function in your games. I personally don't have one, but people I know do and that's how they got it to work!

I've had a similar problem. After installing a few mods, for some reason DirectX stopped initalizing and Half-Life would boot back to the desktop once it started loading the gam itself. Don't ask me why?! Even after uninstalling and re-installing Half-Life it would continue to do the same thing even without the mods! I'm not sure what the problem is, but I only solved it by re-installing Win2000. I'm almost wondering if there might be some broken code or leaks in the DX 7 implementation in Win2000. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I'm running a K6-III 450 w/ 128 MB Viper V770 Ultra (w/ latest nVidia drivers) SBLive!

The only problems I've had so far is in Aliens vs. Predator. The mouse buttons either respond slowly or stick. I'm running on a K6-III 450 with 128 MB Viper V770 Ultra Logitech USB wheel mouse

Unfortunately, I've found that NT and Win2000 don't let most games adjust the gamma. The best solution I've found is to use Powerstrip (available as shareware on must major download sites) to adjust the gamma. It will also let you adjust the gamma on the fly while running games using hotkeys. I hope this helps out!
