http://fae.abit.com.tw/download/bios/kt7/index-e.htm this works for KT7/A/A-RAID/RAID

Just check windows update it will have them on there.

yeah check either HKLM or HKCU (Hkey current user) and under the software/MS/windows/run and runonce are the keys you are looking for.

well then if you have the means uninstall SP2 then see. Then uninstall WMP and see. Looks like the only solution i have for ya is trial and error

check the front page and in the game tuning article he mentions the APK tools for W2k. You can get em from ZDnet hotfiles i think those have a program to make a ramdisk

don't worry MS managed to break realmagic playback in 2469, who knows if it will work in newer builds. i just dont understand why XP is like that either.

thats why i ditched XP i got sick of the build to build working then not working scenario. You guys are aware that certain parts of your registry and HD are being scanned everytime you log onto battle.net don't you just read the EULA for b.net.

there is no way to extract or run SP2 in win98.

I like XP but im sick of playing the will it work in this version game. It seems like you never know what is and what isnt going to work from build to build. One build Media Player will work but remote desktop won't or Direct X will be broken and other things will work. XP is going to kick some *** when it comes out but in the mean time im just sick of not having things work like they are supposed to.

most of the problems lie with the lack of well made drivers and the fact that windows 2000 is completely different driver base than 9x is. I have not had a problem with any of my chipsets or any configs ive had maybe because i do my homework on these things, and this board is pretty much a good place for advice on what works and doesn't

how about you read the date and time of the 1st post then look at when the news was posted before you go making yourself look like an idiot oops too late on that one you already did.

I was wondering if anyone would like to rip WMP 8 out of XP and put it up for download. I have 7 installed but 7 well kinda sucks.

probably due to the poo poo CL soundcard you have. Win2k is notorious for taking forever and a day to load up with CL soundcards.

the problem is the unstable 4x AGP and Athlon and VIA and Win2k problem yeah that sounds right heh. Anyway the best way to fix it is to get win2k SP2 now that it is out. Im finally back on 2k after reading about SP2 and i have no problems before i was using XP because it was stable.

Well my friend and i were talking the other day about the differences between top of the line and cutting-edge.. See Win2k is the top of the line OS right now because its tried and tested, meaning it has the support of many users and drivers and there is relatively nothing wrong with it. Then you have WinXP which is cutting edge because it supports new technology, its faster, its more stable, application compatability support. But the downside is you have to put up with the cycle of beta process and things working then not working and having to hack things but you are on the cutting edge of technology so you have to pay the consequences for using that. Then you have WinME which is bottom of the barrel i would rather use Win 3.1 than that piece of s.hit bad. It is flaky, unstable, crippled, unstable, flaky. Hmmm much like my last girlfriend. So there you have it top of the line - 2k cutting edge - XP bottom of the barrel bad - WinME

if you looking for MS beta's a good sites to check are www.m3dzone.com and www.etplanet.net . However thse products are for evaluation use only and if you are not a beta tester you should uninstall them after 24 hours, and both sites do NOT take responsability for any data loss/corruption or computer problems you may result in using the beta products.

I hated 7 with a passion but WMP 8 is actually a good product. When listening to albums i listen to winamp because of the wider variety of plugins. I also like the visulization plugins in 8 more than 7 and they take up less memory than Giess or GeForce do.

i downloaded SP2 and then installed the apcompat update and it is in my compatability options.

yeah george's tweak is pretty much a easy way of doing that instead of using WPcredit and WPcredset. Damn i might have to put XP back on now that i found a prem fix.

it was under the VIATweaks section not other my fault. Anyway i was having the same problems with my SantaCruz then i tried the 580_3011.EXE BUS mastering drivers and it fixed my problem. http://www.viahardware.com/download/580_3011.EXE

its under the other section

try the PCI latency patch at www.viahardware.com also look for the latest mobo BIOS because a lot of manufacturers are trying to fix the problem try these settings in your BIOS too if it has them three options to enhance the system compatibility Delay transaction . PCI master read caching . PCI master time-out Set above options to Disabled / Disabled / 0 may help SB Live 5.1 sound issue. If the system experiences low performance after these settings, enable the PCI master read caching please. I got it off of Abit's site but try it it might work

Yummy yum 2469 is out i can't wait to see how much faster it is.

ive heard from people that DX is hosed in this version of XP and i am not getting an AGP support according to DXDiag so i guess the next version will have improved DX support or some thing
