yeah... no problem with it.

Use only 1 sound card then =)

the upside down picture is not the problem with the mediaplayer but the directshow filter.. temporily rename the file "divx_c32.ax" in the windows\system32 to some other name, and play the movie. it will fix the upside-down problem. Once you are done watching that movie, you can rename the file to orginal. Renaming the divx_c32.ax will only disable the abilities to adjust brightness, saturation...etc... not a big thing.

defrag harddrive will help getting data from the database faster too.

you can download the backup plug-in/add-on for Outlook 2K/XP from the microsoft web site

xp has its own version of msconfig.. just go to Run then msconfig

7 is out.. its compatible with XP

you can install EZCD creater to have the adaptec aspi layer installed. or go to www.doom9.net's download section to download ForceASPI to install the aspi layer.

I have no problem with the search function... so as Vampyr said, your iso maybe corrupted.. get yourelf a new copy.

Besides Nero, CDRWin works too.

I thought Nero was using its own ASPI layer. so does it realy matter if you have an older version of adaptec ASPI driver?

The VIA chipset drivers are included in winxp, so the 4-in-1 is not needed. I don't play FPS often, but is there really difference between 68fps and 150fps? i mean the number is different of course, but can you tell the difference when you are in the game?

Good question... but i still have a hard time figuring out how to use that player.. i see no shortcut anywhere to that player at all.. when i double click the mp3 file, the media player will play it but not the tool bar one.

um... i have a Tbird 1000 and a Abit KT7 (same chipset as Asus A7V), but i have no problem running win2k or winxp. I think your system will run fine in winxp.

It could be the game host's problem too.. I have a friend who is on T1 connection, usually he creates a public game, and i will join ASAP. However, if lots of people are joining at the same time, i will get that error message.

The problem is not from Win2K.. its battle.net's problem or network problem.. If i connect to the b.net server during busy hours, i will get this error message sometimes (not many), but i have no problem in other time. The only problem i have while playing starcraft in win2k or XP is that the game will quit by itself for no reason. Reboot the pc before joining b.net seems to fix the problem.

um... i have a total opposite impression. I always thing Compaq's product is POS, while HP's is a little bit better.

ah.. i forget where i have seen this news, i could be wrong. GeForce3 T200 is supposed be the MX version of GeForce3... and it should be out on 7th or 17th (i could only remember there is a 7) with T400 (Pro version) and Det. 4 .. even if you don't want GeForce3 Txxx.. wait until its out, then it will have a price cut on GF2 series.. then you can buy the GF2 instead of GF2 MX..

i guess i don't have the new one then.. but in the file detail, all the version number are different for each file.. maybe the new driver is just a new inf file or something.. dunno.. no idea... just a thought

maybe he is a person with multiple personalities.. or double identities.

ah... i didn't check if its using the new driver, it just says its installed correctly... so what's the new file version number supposed to be?

Read this: http://www.apachez.net/purpleman/dxr3hp.html It teaches you how to use the hollywood+ driver for your DxR3 board. It may fix your problem.

Most of the routers will do the work, and they usuallt come with a DHCP server, you can disable is in its configuration menu though. Linksys is good brand. If you want something better, maybe a 3COM.. But preformance of them are about the same. The difference maybe in number of ports that comes with, swtich or hub for the LAN, 10Mb or 10/100... etc.

Quote: it occurs when ever i restart my computer. i will see my desktop for a few seconds then i get the error screen saying "Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal" I have seen the error message when i enable the memoy hole at some address in the bios setting. After i have disable it, the error message is gone. so... see if you have that setting enabled in BIOS, and disable it.
