no problem i know i have saw a couple more ill look for them im just cheap and dont like to pay for subscriptions maybe i was looking wrong but i have noticed a great speed improvement on this line Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100". i read the more you push the faster it gets so i pushed mine to 250 works great and heres some more i skimmed through em and they look helpful http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html it seems wherever i looked they posted back to this site

i decided im just going to remove my audigy when i get the cash ill get an audigy 2 im just going to go with it from there thanks alot martouf

hey i went to the site and it said you have to pay just thought id push one i found from amdedge 1. Type "about:config" in the adress field. 2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true". 3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100". 4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true" 5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0" Yep, Tested it myself. Increases Mozilla Firefox speed and MAY also work for Mozilla. Taken from http://www.computerbb.org/about150.html

i guess that things arent 100% good in windows but it gets me through i downloaded slackware 10 because it said it had a expirimental 2.6 kernel and tried it low and behold it worked all i had to type at cd boot was bare.i 'noieee1394' so this traces back my problem to the audigy you asked about ports and stuff i have an nforce2chipset 6usb ports 2 firewire (3 with audigy) onboard audio but isnt good compared to the audigy but i can sacrifice the audigy i just dont have any place to work on my pc at the time about acting okay ill say it like this it worked fine like it did when i first put it in my current system im sure it woulda degraded over time though i think now i either have to reconfigure linux boot or get rid of the audigy based on i use onboard networking to get on i need a 2.6 kernel at least any suggestions for the linux distro would be appreciated

hanging in no thanks for helping my next thought was buying another card i may have not made it clear enough windows is fine linux is a problem my system looks like this with the o/s win2k pro winxp mandrake 10.0 oe i was going to try to install another version of linux but it hangs at the cards firewire port i think the issue goes to the cards firewire port because now windows cant detect usb flash drives and linux wont work i was lucky i found an old copy of morphix and told it not it to look at the card and it booted fine on one hand i dont want to lose the card but on the other i want to use linux again any suggestions would be appreciated ill go over the driver situation i layered them 1st gatewy oem drivers accepted perfectly 2nd install the cd of software and drivers that i got off the net, thank god it recognized it 3rd get all the drivers and struff from creatives site. (interestingly if uninstalled one thing the whole thing would just die, not work) i dont think that the windows issue has anything to do with linux because i kept them seperated hard drive is like this 59.9 gb ntfs xp for games and stuff 19.8gb fat32 2kpro office work and for parents who need to use the comp 40 gb linux extended i dont the exact schematics memorized but it aint just one thing i let it auto allocate i know i answered all over the place but im just posting what i can think of

i got the gateway drivers but it said incompatible a couple of times until i switched slots the card has always been an interesting thing

the card is oem gateway the slots are like this agp nvidia 5200 plus pci pci modem pci audigy but ill try switching the slots thanks

umm .. windows doesn't stop "reading in its old slot" unless the hardware is farked. -i dont think the hardware is farked per se because i tested it on another system works fine and the computer is actually recognizing it unlike before, i know its odd but it just wont work for windows less its in either of two specific slots Windows could possibly develop a driver problem which looks like farked hardware, -im sorry dont get where your going with that i can say i have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers at least twice in that section to check for claritey Does the system run OK without the card? -yeah it works fine with and without it i just like the audigy sound card Are you being very careful to take all static discharge control precautions -yes i used to have a static wristband but now i follow the other rules like touching the power box etc. i never dive right in, and if taking out i set in a anti static bag in a box of foam Are you using the most recent Audigy drivers for windows? - i check for driver updates once a week currently i have the most up to date i dont think that windows drivers would affect linux though, i will say this though when i bought the card it didnt come with a cd, so i downloaded a iso image of the software that it comes with plus drivers, first i get the oem drivers install, then iso image, then the stuff from creatives site this is for windows, under linux it always picked up just fine unlike in windows, there is no audigy card please reset the pci slots, etc. so now i got it all working cept under linux

dapperdan what are you using to emulate windows, im just curious because all emulators froze my sys ive tried various wine and winex

i downloaded it and had it working great for some time then one day it wouldnt let me log in invalid password so i just uninstalled it and forgot about it, it is pretty good to try though

excellent links thanks

its been awhile since i installed mandrake and i got the same problem i use my external writer at 1x 2x and 4x or something like that got the same problem and i was determined to figure what was wrong i went through 15 different sites to get the iso and all gave the same problem on oe so i went through my discs and got a older copy of mandrake 10 oe i had and it worked fine interesting to see someone else come across the problem

i think what they mean is this you can use it for no proiftable means being home use only you cant bring this to the office and use it to do office work but you can use it at home for an indefinite time at least i think thats what they mean

i just got back into linux seeing as how my parents took away all my linux stuff for awhile anyway i got mandrake 10 official edition which seems to fix all the problems i had with ce specs Hp a220n Nforce 2mobo 120 Gb hard drive Atholon xp 2600+ Audigy Altec lansing 4.1 media speakers i think thats all that owuld be needed any more specs just ask now the questions 1: 4.1 sound ability do i have to use alsa to do this becuase i know i had it set up in ce but i forgot how i did it any suggestions, as well as the ability to get a equalizer i miss my eax ability 2nd: Totem media player wont play mpg or mpegs whenever i do it emmits out a loud beep that wont end and when i press the power button on my pc it wont turn off i have to pull out the power cable any idea on the totem media player 3rd: gnome 2.6/2.7 anyone heard about the rpms for 10 oe like when they coming out thanks in advance for the help

thanks dapper it covered my old problem from ce incidentally i just had to uninstall kde for sound and almost anything else to work thus the questions on gnome getting sound isnt an issue it is simply i want 4.1 sound since i got it ig possible im looking at installing items next its giving me stuff about kernel source not found i know that this was an issue if you ran under kde but not under gnome im looking at alsa wont let me install im going to look for some guides to installing and then go from there im even going to try compiling gnome 2.6 once i get my cable back up and running

it downloaded the alsa driver and said it couldnt install and i tried getting some other driver and it says it requires kernel source to compile but i had this problem before i noticed kde didnt have it but gnome did and i only installed gnome what should i do

i went to the site and all but one link works and thats for the fourth disc anyone where know where i can grab the last disc on mirror links please thanks in advance.

there is one thing i have to say when i installed my nvidia drivers under kde major issues why because for some odd reason the kernel source is not under kde switch to gnome kernel source is so it seems like any errors listed is what i got under kde another thing is u tell it start in command prompt instead of the x server the kernel source still cant be found this causes some problems i havent been on linux in quite some time but this is what happened to me when installing nvidia drivers.

okay what speed did you burn the cds because i learned its wise to burn them at the slowest speed possible on your drive next if all else fails you can try to redownload the files http://www.linuxiso.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17273&sid=546b1e5bae497c53b7eb28184c85328a heres a site with some more ftps i know ive never been asked what format will you install them from but thats common i really like mandrake 10 ce and thats my primary os so um you can try mandrake 9.2 but i heard of stability issues so um burning speed and maybe some harware specs so we can get you the right distro to use especially for internet connection

yo shadowmatrix real quick can you just tell me which file you went for because whenever i go to install it freezes or there are alot of errors

shadowmatrix your using mandrake 10 ce right because im missing like three things that isnt allowing it to work it does look very impressive. what exactly does it do besides system monotoring

found it http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html ill tell you how it works out couldnt install it massive errors said i was missing all the files i need the updates but cant get them [Edited by soulnothing on 2004-05-05 21:53:43]

im just chock full of problems aint i anywho i cant seem to get up dates sometimes it will say uprim is not activated, sometimes it will get them all in 10 secs when i refresh list their still there, and sometimes the computer will just power down quite interesting actually up[censored] err.... powering down goodbye so any idea no mod changes nothing also will this update me to gnome 2.6 because this is what im mainly interested in

yup i only use gnome mainly because its the only one that has sound working but its so inivative kde does seem like its trying to copy windows but gnome is something new entirely

i was wondering bout that two is it distro specific or what wait a second isnt that gates idea the new xp sidebar whats it doing in linux? or did he just copy it from linux
