Can someone please send me, or post a link to a working driver for Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro (IntelliType Pro 2.11) ? The driver on microsoft.com is corrupt. I have downloaded the file (ITP2_1EngNoMsi.exe) at least 6 times, but am unable to install or unpack it.

Is it possible to minimize ICQ from a .bat file ? Or are there any programs that can minimize ICQ from command line ? The reason for why I want to do this is because I activate myHTPC (a HTPC frontend) from my remote control, but ICQ always shows on top of it when not minimized.

Thank You Can't understand why I didn't find that option.

A month ago I bought the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard. Onboard sound, NIC, RAID, DDR and so on. The board has done very well in reviews. I must say that I have NEVER been so pleased with my system. Incredibly fast and stable, not a single crash or lockup. The sound is OK, I don't use EAX, so for me it sounds just like the old SB Live did. Have disabled the RAID controller as I don't use it. I have not installed any 4in1 drivers or any patches, no need for that. Running with Athlon XP 2000+ and GeForce 4 TI 4400 on XP Pro. 10300 3DMarks as if anyone really cares

From UnrealTournament\Help\ReadMe.htm : Dedicated Network Servers - General performance guidelines We find that a 400 MHz Pentium II can usually handle about 16 players with decent performance. The performance varies with level complexity and other machine speed factors, so your mileage may differ. Note that there is no absolute maximum player limit in the game; performance simply degrades as the number of players grows huge. If you're running multiple levels simultaneously, Windows NT outperforms Windows 95 because of its superior multitasking and TCP/IP processing capabilities. For best performance, we recommend having 64 megabytes of memory per running level. For example, for running 4 simultaneous levels, 256 megabytes is ideal. The Unreal Tournament server uses up at least 28.8Kbits per second of outgoing bandwidth per player (on Internet), so if you run the server on a machine connected by a 28.8K modem, you'll only be able to support one client with decent performance. Dedicated servers that support many players generally require the outgoing bandwidth of a T1 line or better.

I am considering buying an Asus A7V333 motherboard. This board has a C-Media 8738 6-Channel Audio soundchip. Is it any good ? How about EAX support ? (The C-Media web page says it is EAX compatible, but is the EAX quality any good ?) A hardware site (don't remember which one) claims it is comparable to the Soundblaster Live. True or false ? Also, does anyone here have the Asus A7V333 motherboard ? Any problems ? Thank you !

I have those speakers too

Today I installed a Creative GeForce 4 TI 4400 video card on my Abit BX133-RAID motherboard. I have been using a Gainward GeForce 2 MX with no problems. When I turn on the PC with the new video card in place, I am no longer able to boot from the HPT370 controller. In fact, the HPT370 boot screen does not display at all. I am able to boot normally from the ATA33 IDE controller. The HPT370 controller is not damaged in any way as far as I can tell, because if I put the old GeForce 2 MX in, everything is back to normal. Also, in Device Manager, no problems is reported on the HPT 370 controller when I am using the GeForce 4. I have the latest bios for the motherboard. Any advice ?

Thank you, it works now

OK, will try that. I'll let you know how it goes.

DosFreak: Did you get my e-mail ?

DosFreak: Do you know of a way to install MS-DOS 6.22 on Virtual PC without having a floppy disk drive in the computer ? I have installed the trial version (v. 4.2) of Virtual PC, and I have the 3 MS-DOS setup disks on my hard drive.

TweakXP.com Completely fixed my Quake 2. I have, however, moved on to Unreal Tournament

Anyone know of a good windows frontend for ipconfig ? All I want is an easy to use tool that displays my current IP fast.

Thank You !!!

No, no such thing in 2k/XP AFAIK...

Is it possible to boot the pc from a USB 2.0 CDRW ? Am thinking of buying a Plextor PleXWriter 24/10/40U. I guess it depends on the motherboard BIOS ?

You know the little speaker in the system tray by the clock... Can this be opened with an .exe file or something ? The reason for this is that I'm trying to move it to a toolbar. Also, can it be changed to control Wave/DirectSound rather that the master volume ?

"SNDVOL32.EXE /tray" was the way to go Now, anyone knows if the tray volume control can be changed to control Wave/DirectSound rather that the master volume ?

I know about sndvol32.exe, but this is not what I want. When you click the little speaker in the tray, a single volume slider that controls the master volume pops up. I am trying to move the little speaker to a toolbar.

Works perfect for me. Same card as you, same drivers.

The maual for my Abit BX133-RAID states that "HPT 370 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed mass storage. Thus we don't suggest you connect non-disk devices that use the ATA/ATAPI interfaces, such as CD-ROM to HPT 370 IDE connector". Now, I would like to connect my Plextor CD-RW as a slave on the same cable as my ATA 100 harddrive on the HPT 370 controller, to get rid of some cables in my box. Maybe stupid, as the manual says that I should NOT do that. Any thoughts on this... Will it work OK, or will I get a lot of coasters ?

OK, thank you for the replies. I guess I'll stick to two cables then

Thank You

Can someone please e-mail me their copy of the driver (ITP2_1EngNoMsi.exe) ? rune.i@frisurf.no
