Hello everybody, I am having a minor issue with internet explorer after I upgraded to SP2 RC1. When I click on the back button when I am viewing a website I usually view the HTML code when I click on back in IE. Is there anyway I can disable HTML code when I click on back? Thanks MarksmanX

Is there a driver I have to download for Windows XP to detect my CPU. I have no CPU driver for my Athlon XP 2000+! But I have drivers for my dual Pentium III 850s in Windows XP!

Has anybody been successful running Mechwarrior II Titanium edition in Windows XP? The game locks up immediately when it is starts up. I don't want to install Windows 98SE just for this game!

Ok I foundout it's not a good idea not to enable it if you don't have a UPS. This is from the Adaptec support site. Quote: What does enabling Write Back Cache do? What if the device does not support Write Back Caching? This information applies to the following product(s): - 19160, 29160N, 29160, 39160 - PCI SCSI Card(s) This information applies to the following Operating System(s): - All / PC Answer This feature overrides the SCSI devices built in Write Back Caching setting. If this switch is enabled, then the SCSI card will send a command to the device to enable write back caching (even if the default setting for the device is disabled). If the device supports write back caching, then the command from the SCSI card will override any setting on the device itself. If the device does not support write back caching, then the it will ignore the command from the SCSI card. The default "No Change" (N/C) setting on the SCSI card allows the device to use its default setting for write back caching. Hard drives are the only devices on the market at this time that support write back caching - CDs, tape drives, removeable drives, and scanners do not support this feature. Enabling write back caching increases performance (since writes are cached to cache RAM on the hard drive just like reads) but increases the risk of losing your data. Unwritten data in cache RAM is lost if and when the power goes out. This option should only be enabled if your system is protected by a UPS (Universal Power Supply) that will allow your system to go through a proper shut down sequence on the power of a battery even if the main power goes out. When the system properly shuts down the information from cache RAM is saved magnetically to the disk (and therefore is not reliant on power to retain the information). The risk of data loss is not worth the performance enhancement if your system is not protected by a UPS.

From the adaptec site there is a bios update to version 4.20.26. Maybe once you update your card you can access that selected option in the Adaptec utility bios? http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/drivers_by_product.html?cat=/Product/AAA-131U2

Hi guys, I just need some advice on SCSI Hard Drive Write Cache. Long time ago I had a SCSI Ultra 160 IBM drive that failed on me when I remember enabling Write Cache in Windows XP at RC1. When an error appeared in Windows XP it totally destroyed the SCSI Ultra 160 IBM drive. I couldn't boot from it and the Adaptec 29160 couldn't detect the drive anymore. So I went into the Adaptec 29160 bios setting and enabled Write Cache when it was on N/C. Is this a good idea? Has this ever happen to any of you guys when a SCSI drive failed on your when you enabled write cache? It clearly states that if the drive fails or has an improper shutdown in XP it will most likely have a data loss or corruption on the drive if that occured. I don't know why it's enabled by DEFAULT! Any advice would help. I didn't have Write Cache enabled on the Adaptec 29160 card when the Ultra 160 IBM drive got a fatal crash and destroyed that Hard Drive. I just enabled it recently and re-enabled the performance tab under harddrive. Thanks guys!

Well, it's not that easy. I don't have that option on that new drive when I right click on it

Hi guys Is there anyway I can format a new Hard Drive in Windows 2000 without fdisking or adding a primary dos parition? Can you please provide me in detail how this process is done if it is possible to format a new Hard Drive in Windows 2000. Thanks alot guys

Post your system specs so I have an idea what is going on. I like Quake so I can't complain But for UT you need a special opengl32.dll which uses the S3TC which will help your FPS greatly. But I can't go on anything without your system info. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.1 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

My gamma is pretty bad in Counter-Strike and Quake I. I did adjust it manually with the gamma command to 10.000 but nothing has happened. It's still dark Is there a gamma pack I can find to correct this? Quake II and III gamma is fine though Still don't know what the problem is. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.1 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

First you will needAdaptec ASPI updatesfirst. For the best burning programs I have used are Nero 5.0 and DiscJuggler 3.0. The best OS for burning is Windows 2000 for me. Windows 2000 has been good to me and never gave me any problems with burning CDs. Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.03 is OK but not great. You'll be happy with Nero and DiscJuggler . ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.1 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

You will notice on your motherboard you have a Primary IDE Channel and a Secondary IDE Channel. Take your IDE CD-ROM ribbon and connect it to which one is available. Also go your bios setting to make sure it is properly detected. Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by gluev: How do you choose where to install the cd rom?
