ThC 129

yeah ive never heard of this problem but ive heard of DMA drives just magically turning to PIO mode. I had a problem using 2509 after i tried installing the UDF reader from adaptec that it wouldnt refresh the name of the CD in the drive, but it still read CDs fine. I guess best advice is to get RC2 and see if it happens on there.

im not exactly sure but i think the admin needs to go into the group policy settings and set it so that they can. Much like policy editor in win98 did.

if its on the USB port, then it might be a problem with hardware and/or poor USB ports. Switch the mouse to PS/2 and see if it still happens.

i think sapiens you need to stop jumping down his throat. The whole problem was that someone wasn't reading Sle's post right the 1st time which started this whole argument.

2517 IS NOT crackable. The only thing is the 60 day key. Reset cracks DO NOT work on it.

For some reason i can't seek through ASF vids, i dont know why it let me in 2k but now in XP i can't.

im just saying that unless you know where your getting it from beware of the added 'extras' people put in. Also some people say they have cracked builds which are not, case in point 2509 and 2517 which are NOT crackable.

i guess im not in the group on this one. My VIA chipset hasnt caused me any problems. Then again im not running a SB Live!, so that could be it. A LOT of people though have reported problems with them so i would stay away from them. I mean they make cyrix processors, and those things were top of the line sh!t. Ive heard good things about ALi boards, as for brand, the 2 best brands on the market are Asus and Abit, Abit more so because of Softmenu III which lets you set your processor in the BIOS not using dip switches.

to those of you who don't know this is a warning. DO NOT download auto-patched ISOs and other things like that. The reason is that 9 times out of 10 the special 'tweaks' people use also contain either trojens or viruses of some sort. I cant say all do but most of the versions like this that i have seen are. So a word to the wise is to download only uncracked clean ISOs that come from MS.

its never happened to me so it sounds like a hardware problem or software problem.

you just need the latest symevent driver from Symantec then it will work.

Everyone who has a live!card is familiar with Creative's great End-User support so here is a poll to see how long it will take creative to make a live!ware xp. After their Live!Ware fiasco with 2k and the final release of Live!ware 3 for windows 2000 i think it will take them at least a solid year if not longer to get decent drivers for XP. Asking for GOOD drivers is too much.

ive heard rumors that activation will be removed from XP due to the ongoing DOJ thing with them. These of course are rumors so they should be taken lightly.

$IPC$ shares are admin shares, if your using the reset crack then you can't get shares working right unless you go thru computer management and do them from there. Also if you logging in without a password that might have something to do with it.

partial immersion is better. Get some motor oil and submerge all your cards in it. A friend of mine did it and it cooled his system down A LOT.

its in the startmenu

a lot of people do because its supposed to be part of their soundcards package. I mean its like buying a car and only getting the front 2 seats. yeah they work fine but don't people want the whole deal?

i dunno its running fine with my specs. The game is too damn tempremental. Make sure that the CRC of the files is fine too. that might be a problem. Or a bad cd, who knows i would say call tech support but they will just give you a run around. It lies with crap programming i guess.

your lucky im bored tonight..... check the startup folder or in the registry hklm\software\microsoft\windows\current version\startup

there is a way to get audioHQ working with XP don't remeber how so you can use the other speakers, and can't say ive used it since i ditched my SB Live for a SantaCruz and it kicks more *** than the shitty lives do because there are already XP drivers for my card. How long will it take creative to release drivers??

for future reference to make an open with dialog show up when you right click on a file hold the RIGHT SHIFT key then right click.

Ive never had a problem with my Athlon Processor at all, either in 2k or in XP. With or without my SB Live! card. The problem isnt with AMD anyway the problem is with VIA. Don't go blaming AMD for a problem that doesnt pertain to them. VIA is the worst maker of north and southbridges in a chipset ive ever seen. Its just sad how they can't even make a decent chipset. The only reason intel chipsets work so well is because intel pumps large amounts of money into MS so they will make damn sure it runs fine on their OSes. As for 64 bit OSes and Processors, the time isnt right to even go down that road. Once the road is 'paved' so to speak it might be worth going down but there is no reason wasting R&D money on a platform that has no support for it yet.

there is a way to integrate SPs onto CDs but patches is a different story. Those are harder but there is a way to do it but i dont even remember how.

the reason this feature was put into XP was because MS doesnt like people logging on under the administrator account so they made it so the owner account (the 1st account created) is the administrator and owner, and if you have the welcome screen on and 1 account with no PW on it it will auto log you on.

I use the 12.90s they work fine for me.
