I just installed an Epox motherboard. EP-7KXA with a VIA-KX133 AGPset and an Athlon 700 cpu. I am running a triple boot with Milly, Win2k, and XP. The only os that will boot is Milly. With the other 2, I get a blue stop error screen that says Windows has been halted to prevent damage to my computer. I've been given different possible solutions from my local guru's ranging from a Bois flash to not enough power. I have a 250 watt power supply. Do I need 300 watts? I would like to solve this, because I love XP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....thanks.

That is exactly what it was. Dude, I really appreciate your help. Just when you think you start knowing a little, something comes along to humble you right down. Thanks for the insight and advise.

I have a Creative Labs Modem Blaster 56k which is isa, and it works flawlessly in XP. Just my 2 cents worth. -
Fatal error on logging into windowsXP Please help me!!!!!
Deider replied to cipher's topic in Hardware
I had a problem logging on also. I would get an error msg that would say that Windows files were either missing or damaged and that I needed to repair or re-install. This registry tweak fixed the problem. Thanks alot!!! -
I backup Quicken to an Iomega 100 meg Zip drive. Are you using Quicken 2000?

I get the physical memory dump blue screen if I try to shut down or reboot. Mine was caused because I have a usb device attatched to my system. If you have one also, double click on the green arrow in the system tray and bring up a window that will allow you to highlight the device and click stop. Once you've done this, you should be able to shut down or reboot without a problem. Hope this helps .

Well, the installer still said my card wasn't compatible, so I just used the upgrade driver Wizard, and pointed to Rage 128 GL AGP (English) and it worked. Now I have the option to use the TV out again. I use it with a DVD Rom. Thanks again Doc

Thanks for the info Doc. I'm going after them now.

Those special purpose drivers on ATI's site have been available for almost 3 weeks. ATI says they won't offer Tech support for them and not to run them on mission critical machines. I tried to run the installer and got the msg saying my card isn't supported. I tried to get around it and got the drivers updated, then my machine wouldn't boot. I got a blue screen with the msg "bad pool caller". I had to go in in safe mode and revert back to WDM drivers to get the machine back. Any thoughts on this?
-
I'm grabbing the creative update as we speak. I had a similar problem with the blue screen associated with up[censored] Adaptec Easy CD Creator to 4.02. The error msg. on the blue screen said "Bad pool caller". I tried several remedies, including uninstalling Dell's Liveware, and removing the card from the device mgr. The only time I could boot to the desktop was if I physically removed the card, then it booted up just fine. I finally attempted re-installing Windows 2000. It worked, and now I have WDM drivers and a working computer(for now). An interesting note, I tried putting the card in a different pci slot and I still got the blue screen, but with a different error msg.(something to do with irq errors, but i honestly can't remember). Hope this info helps.

How to connect to a W2k machine using a Win98 machine
Deider replied to Preacher's topic in Software
Beavis, you're such a Butthead.....hehe. Believe it or not, I really appreciate the fact that you took a minute to answer my question. I migrated over from Win 98 and, as you know, there ARE differences in settings and configuration. I've learned a ton since I started frequenting this board, and I hope I can be of some help to someone in the future. Everybody learns at a different pace and not everybody thinks on the same level, so I hope those on here who like to be demeaning and sarcastic to what they think of as a "stupid question" will take a moment of pause before lashing out at those who are just trying to learn. I was taught that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. It's just a thought. Again, thanks Beavis, for taking the time to help me. -
How to connect to a W2k machine using a Win98 machine

Where in Windows 2000 do you set up an account for network access? -
You guys know any good warez sites? ;o)
-
I'm so happy I could sh*t!!! I actually have Liveware working on my 2000 machine! hehe Do I need a life? My wife thinks so.
-
We're you using Partition Magic to resize the partitions? I did that and had the same results as you are having. When I would select Windows 98 from the boot menu, I would get "invalid system disk" with no floppy in the drive.
-
I have an oem CD and it has options to install some extras like a tools and such that weren't on the pre-release 2195. The installation looked a little different. Those are the only differences I noticed.
-
EddiE, click on my computer and see what comes up. JBoDean wants to bypass this step and go straight to where you can select a drive.
-
hahahahahahahaha you guys are too funny! I'll be keeping a close eye on this board at the end of the week. It'll be a hoot.
-
Office installed perfectly for me. I have the premium edition. I don't know if that makes any difference. I would be interested to know what you did to get Liveware to install tho ). Maybe it's a hardware software combination.
-
Since I'm not going to torture myself anymore by continuing to attempt Liveware installs till Creative comes out with what I need, is there any way to enable the second speaker jack on an SB Live without Liveware?
-
The old fashioned way.LOL Right on. Thanks

My printer shows up in Device Manager under other devices with a ? next to it even tho I installed it thru the printer icon in control panel. Could this be because I have it piggy backed to a parallel zip drive?
-
Sorry. The printer is a Lexmark 5700. Windows 2000 autodetected it and placed it in the "other" catagory. Properties says the device is working properly, but when I go to the printer icon in the control panel it's not there. This printer has a 2 floppy set for installing drivers and a control panel of it's own. One set of floppies for Win98 and one for NT 4.0. I ran the setup for NT and it works perfectly, but the device is still listed in the device manager. It's not causing problems, I was just curious if it was caused by the piggy backing thing with the zip drive.
