The iiyama is a nice monitor I play games on it if I can I like to play at 1280x1024 but Windows 2000 drivers are not as fast as Windows 98 at this resolution you dont get as many FPS I have to drop back to 1024x768 the graphics on these monitors are hard to beat in my opinion. Halflife I can play at 1280x1024 in opengl and the graphics are A1. The best thing about this monitor is that if you play games at 1024x768 the monitor will stretch to full screen so it would look like you were playing at 1280x1024. DVD's are pin sharp This is the second iiyama lcd monitor I have owned in the last three years and to be honest I would not have anything else the 2d is out of this world if you are word proccessing or even sufing the net I would rate my monitor all round 10/10.

iiyama lcd's are one of the best I have iiyama ASU4311U 17" lcd if you want a bargin I wished I had looked here first ! check out this site http://www.monitors4sale.co.uk/Prolit46.html Regards Badboy

Why all your cards are sharing the same IRQ's is because you have ACPI enabled. As long as everything is working ok and you have no conflicts best thing is to leave well alone. You can change this by going into device manager and changing computer to standard PC reboot you will also have to disable acpi in the bio's if your bios allows this ! but then you might have to do a bit of card shuffling to get everything running happily together some cards can share IRQ's and some cant it is possible but sometimes best alone !!!

I used Inculate IT the updates are slow coming now I use AVG 6.0 free which works just as well and easier to download with regular updates !!! http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.cfm Regards Badboy

Ive had this problem with games when there accessing the data on cd rom that the game freezes for a few seconds the best way round this if this works for you.Is to get a nocd patch for your games from www.gamecopyworld.com apply the nocd patch and play the games directly from the hard drive its worth a try !!!

Wise choice that man !!!

The compatabilty patch works ok I could not run Microsoft photodraw as soon as I opened the program it said photodraw has generated errors as soon as I applied the compatibly 95 layer opens and now works fine so it does work !!!

Only an idea are you playing the games from the cd ie; you need to have the cd in the drive for the games to run !!!

Have you tried to disable PS2 support in the bios if your motherboard supports this function plus see if you have in the bios a funtion to enable usb legacy support for keyboard and mouse if it has enable it !!!

Your info looks correct the driver on Windows update is for users who are still using the Microsoft drivers that came with Windows 2000 !!!

Microsoft has posted on Windows update a driver for the Soundblaster Live update for windows driver only !!! check it out

Iv'e tried the unofficial drivers they work ok the only thing that they do is put back the hardware accleration a notch so eax does not crackle ! Also if you decide to uninstall them and reinstall the official creative drivers on system I lost my windows wave sound on start up and if you empty the recycle bin the system speaker beeps wierd !!!

Your the Man Thanks

Look here these guy might have what you need http://216.157.14.244/round.htm

Adaptec easy cd creator and Nero I would avoid in Windows 2000, CDRWIN works flawlessly if you buy it !!! dont try and crack unless you collect coasters its heavily protected againt piracy !!!

You need three hard drives to pull off software Raid in Windows 2000 you cant do it with two ! read this artical it will give the info you looking for good luck. http://www.buyoverclocked.com/information/win2kraid/w_setup.asp

I dont know what country you are from but you can download the right patch from here http://www.core-design.com/nonshock/down.htm

You have to install the Microsoft compatibility update first and then you need to run the patch for Tombraider III from the Eidos web site it to get it run ! The sound stutters on my system with a Soundblaster live but is still playable.

I have just pulled out my old Sinclair Spectrum I switched it on an hour ago and its still booting now

According to Microsofts white paper on tweaking Windows 2000 if you have a second hard drives they recommend storeing your system page file on you second drive which makes Windows run faster does anybody know where this file is stored or how to do this !!!

Whoops can anyone speak German !!!

OOH I bet that hurt

You will get used to Arin he got a warped sence of humour have a look at his photo of horse boy in his previous posts !!!!
