But why/how does my W2K installation on a BP6 allocate IRQ's above 15 ? Mike. [This message has been edited by Flimber (edited 03 February 2001).]

The 1.2 drivers are available from Iomega themselves (oh, yes they are) but 1.3 (alpha) drivers were leaked just before the Buz was discontinued on the Windows platform - http://www.angelfire.com/mb/mediazone/images/Buz13a3.zip See this page too - http://194.235.220.134/ I can send you ISO's of both the supplied original CD's from a boxed Buz, they'll fit onto a single disk and you can them reburn or use Winimage* to unpack and install straight from your hard drive. You'll have to say "please" though. Mike. *Comes with a massive recommendation from me, this app does.

Try ye olde take-everything-out-one-by-one and-see-what-happens trick. Uninstalling stuff in device manager as you go. My latest build is slow and I've just noticed that I've got cards using bonkers IRQ's (31, 36, 40 & 128) and I'm wondering how the hell that happened. This could be my problem and I'm going to see if I can get eveything within the standard 15 (without sharing) to see if it helps. Check your IRQ's too: is your embedded controller sharing resources with the add-in card ? Dissociate them and see if it helps. And, FFS, was dual channel U/W not enough for you (!).

My desktop shortcuts and icons think that they can do whatever they want. I want to tell them that they can't once and for all, but how ? My Taskbar is along the top of the screen (where all sensible people have it) and the icons move whatever my screen resolution. Whenever they disappear a quick flick of the refresh shortcut from the desktop right-click menu brings them back but puts them top right, where I don't want them. When they're not hiding they've just moved back top-right anyway, even if I left them all along the lower edge of the screen. It's all a bit intermittent though and so I haven't noticed any patterns or possible causes. This occurs with three different graphics cards in W2K (no SP1). Ideas ?

Perhaps somebody would be kind enough to upload the following files somewhere - CDBOOT1.IMG CDBOOT2.IMG CDBOOT3.IMG CDBOOT4.IMG MAKEBOOT.EXE MAKEBT32.EXE
