BP6, QQ bios, acpi mutiprocessor hal, 1.4 enabled, no problem with dell's sblive. do you have the hacked live wire 3 installed prior to installing the dell's driver?

so If i have livewire, it will turn on automatically?? right?

MS has released a few updates at their window updates including better support for entertainment (games)

btw, is eax enable automatically when u have the sblive or you have to enable something in option to get eax support with Rogue spear?

setting ps/2 mouse rate to 200 helps reduces it but don't fix it.

I heard that by turning the sound level in the sblive mixer in launcher all the way up fixed the choppy sound. since I don't have UT, no way I can confirm.

murlin, you have to update your sblive basic wdm driver to the new one before u install livewire 1 otherwise the software will report can't find the hardware

don't see much problem except win2000 will not detect your g400 as g400 it will detect it as a standard vga card, but you can update that driver to g400 w2k beta driver. my zoom isa modem was detected as unknown modem but it works.

did you goto control panel / system / hardware and choose sound blaster live (basic) WDM and update that driver with the inf? it works fine with my box

by increasing the ps/2 sample rate to 200 helps but don't fix it totally.

your link doesn't work

this is normal as stated in Diamond web site, it will be fix when they release their w2k driver

I have the BP6 too, but never get Livewire 3 to install. anyway dell ftp is very busy now, hope to hear more tomorrow when others got this little software.

I should consider myself lucky the only creative product in my box is the sblive value

looks like sticky key is related to video card driver, I have this problem with Rogue spear and TNT2 or G400

Mr. Yellow, If livewire 3 works with Dell's WDM driver, dell would have release livewire 3 instead of livewire 1.

no offense, what if after the wait, it is still the same driver and software but works with other live board. to be honest, I don't think it will take that long to release something like dell's to work with all live boards. provided Dell has already spent b4 hand to release what we got today.

check windows updates, MS has a few updates for W2K including better game support

Thanks for the information. just did the updates. I think now for all those hardware+software manufacturers who don't take W2K seriously should reconsider.

LOL, I agree with you, this really makes Creative looks kind of ugly.

After I updated the Sound blaster live basic (WDM) driver with the upddrv2k.inf, I installed the livewire 1.0 and it works, 4 speakers support works with my Abit BP6 download them now before site got too busy, you can find more details by reading this threat "Dell win2k drivers" one thing i don't understand is why dell can come up a livewire 1.0 for w2k while Creative has to wait till mid march to release its 1.0 ??

Philipp, Thanks a lot, now I got 4 speakers support, one thing I don't understand is, why an oem manufacturer like Dell can come up with livewire 1.0 for W2K and Creative has to wait till march to release its own version 1 for W2K?

Doesn't work for me, it installed the program but it said i don't have a sound blaster live :-( btw my sound card is a sb live value

Downloading them right now, hopefully at least 4 speakers support. Will report asa i installed them

Should I disable or enable this in bios for W2K? I know under NT 4.0 if enable this function will casue file transfer error TIA
