sometimes enabling netBEUI if using ipx/spx fixes this............

changing pci slots seemed to help, but didn't solve it completely.......now i can sometimes play for 20 minuites.......>;-0 (i used pci slot 1) newbie freak

sorry i can't help, but i thought i'd let you know your not alone. my system also uses a monster2 8mb version w/ an ati rage pro turbo chipset 2d card. i have the same problem. maybe it has some thing to do with the ati voodoo combo? rick johnston cedar ridge, ca p.s win98se works fine

i have the epox kp6-bs mainboard also. untill win 2000 i have been extremely pleased with it. i have also e-mail epox with no reply about win 2000 bios updates (yes i have the 1mb chip also). i also asked them if i could upgrade to the 2 mb chip, but since they have not responded i have no way to answer that question......any one have a blown epox kp6-bs with a 2 meg bios chip they want to send my way? also, anyone out there have the 2 mb version board and not having any problems? i also get the garbled screen and ascii characters after reboots sometimes......... rick johnston cedar ridge, ca epox kps-bs (2) celeron 400 (@600) diamond voodoo 2 8mb 3com 10/100 nic ati rage pro turbo agp 2x fastrack33 w/ 2 wd ac34300 hd's vortex 2 zip 36x acer cdrom microtek c3 usb scanner

this is a long shot, and forgive me if i sound like your new to nt, but have you tried using the space bar at the boot up screen? rj

i think i saw a tnt tweaking utility the other day at tweak3d.com that allowed gamma correction.......hope this helps..... rj

i'm having some of the same problems, however i am not running win2k but nt 4 (since i cannot convice promise to give me thier beta drivers for my fasttrack controllers....dont believe the HCL folks)heres my system specs...... epox kp6-bs mainboard 2 celery 300a ppga's oced to 463 2 msi 6905 rev 1.1 slockets (at 2.0 volts) 3com 100mbit pci network card vortex2 soundcard by aureal single voodoo 2 (diamond) intel i740 agp video card by jaton corp promise fastrack ide raid controller (raid 1) (2) western digital ac34400 ata33 drives ide internal zip drive ide acer 36x cdrom drive after i start quake 3 (1.06) and enter r_smp 1 at the console it tells me to restart for smp to take effect, i do so, and the screen slowly flashes like it's switching video modes in an idefinate loop. the only way i have found to break out is to hard reboot my computer....ahhhhh everything works just fine (except sound, see my other posts) with one processor. guess i'll be gamming under 98 for a while longer....... any input would be greatly appreciated.

see "need help" by hoozeyermoma...i posted to the wrong message, i meant to post to you....oops >;-0

i'm having problems with my vortex reference card in nt 4.0. quake 3, quake 2 & unreal all cut out after starting the game.....

i have the same problem with a vortex2 board i bought a while ago. this was a board made by aureal.......new drivers are comming out any day now...don't know if this will fix the problem though. the same thing happens in quake 2 and unreal.
