I am using a Leadtek GF4 ti 4400 video card with nvidia 29.42 drivers trying to run the game Army Operations. After its installed i try starting it by double clicking on the icon but nothing ever happens. It never goes into the game or anything. I even tried running it in compat. mode but it did not work. How can i get this game to work please? Thanks. Worked fine in window 2000. I tired compat. mode in windows 98/me and windows 2000. Thanks

Why with my Santa cruz sound card in my computer i get hard lockup in 3dmark2001SE and games. In games the sound repeats when its locks up. I am on windows 2000 pro with SP2. Ok my system specs are: Abit KT7A raid mobo Athlon XP 1800+ 256 MB of pc133 sdram by crucial Maxtor 45 gig 7200 rpm HD with ATA 100, < 8.7 ms seek time, and three 15 gig platters. Antec 330 watt TruePower Power supply. Specs on my power supply at antec's website just in case you want to see them. Plextor 24x 10x 40x IDE CD-RW HP 9110i 8x 4x 32x IDE CD-RW floppy drive 3 suson case fans (one at the front of my case on the bottom to suck air in and two on the back to suck hot air out. Also my power supply has two fans so it sucks hot air out also!) Santa Cruz pci sound card Logitech Z340 2.1 speakers Dlink DFE 530 TX + 10/100 Mbps pci ethernet card Leadtek GF4 ti 4400 My Vivo retail video card Full tower case. Ok i did my own kind of test starting around 10:30 am with no Santa Cruz sound card in my computer. I have my Dlink DFE 530 TX + 10/100 Mbps pci ethernet card still in. The ethernet card is in pci 3 which shares a irq only with pci 2 and thats it. My sound card when i did have it in before was in pci 6 which shares with usb but i turned off usb because i never use it really. So yesterday at around 10:30 am i had my santa cruz sound card out of my system when i started 3dmark2001SE build 330. I left it running in infinite loops. I will stop it after 24 hours because i want to see if my system is stable in 3d graphics for 24 hours with no sound card. So far as i speak it has been 16 hours with no lockup or freeze which i was surprised. I remember when i tired testing out 3dmark 2001SE build 330 like 2 days ago with my santa cruz sound card in my computer on pci 6 with usb off and my ethernet card at pci 3 3dmark2001SE ran for about 5 to 6 hours then froze or lockuped up I mean it was better than before but still not like it should be. So far to me it is looking like the sound card is conflicting with my video card or my video card is conflicting with my sound card. I don't think its luck that without my santa cruz sound card in my pc its not locking up or freezing in 3dmark2001SE for 16 hours so far. I have tried games and they do lockup or freeze too. Like when my sound card is in it will lockup with the sound repeating. I have been reading online with a lot of people having this problem for some reason This is what i have done so far to fix my locking up or freezing when my santa cruz sound card is in my pc: I flashed to my latest bios I tired changing my agp driving values I tired changing my memory settings to not as fast I tried without acpi I made sure i had the latest drivers for my santa cruz sound card I made sure i had the latest via 4 in 1 drivers I tried lowering my sound hardware acceleration I opened my case and put fan by it to make sure it was not a heat issue. I tried changing ethernet and sound card pci cards around in some ways but it did not help any I tired increasing voltages I have tried a lot of different things i know but i can't remember every single one. I am sure i could say if i did or not if i had a list infront of me. BTW with 3dmark2001 SE build 330 running for 16 hours is with my case sides on and no extra house fan blowing into case. So i have a good feeling its not a heat issue so far.

Anyone here uses Cox.net right now? Wondering how it is going for you ? For many people right now lots of packet loss. Anyone with cox.net how is your packet loss going? And can you do a line qaulity test please. Thanks. Also is there anyway to go back to the @Home network till all these problems are fixed? I am making sure i get my credit. I tried putting the information for my old @Home but when i did a traceroute i was still on the Cox.net network because it has no home.net routes in the traceroute like it should when you are on the @Home network. Here is how bad my connection has been for a while. http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652344 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652303 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652294 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652292 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652286 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652282 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652309 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652314 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652321 http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/652549

DosFreak naa thats ok. But thank you for offering. Was very appreicated. I just try the games and if they do not work then oh well. Just the way it goes. I will just move on. I know sometimes it can depend on what video card you have and the video card drivers on what games will work and which will not. Sense i am on a old voodoo 3 2000 pci video card more games i guess will not work for me. But if i was on a nvidia video card that was not too old then maybe more games would work for me. I am upgrading my video card soon. Going to wait and see how the Kyro 3 is in the fall when it comes out! I may go nvidia if the Kyro 3 is not that good or something but still the Kyro 3 may not be bad at all. Espically for the low $150 to $199 price.

DosFreak wow isnt it very strange that windows 2000 has more working games than windows xp? Windows xp suppose to be the more compatibilty one hehe. Espically sense it has that compatiblity mode but i guess that does not help it at all. Which does not surprise me.

I just looked on plextor's website but see no Plextor 24/10/40A firmware upgrade to v.1.03. What are u talking about? I went on the US plextor website.

Ok thank you

Ok does your Plextor CD-RW (IDE) like to use name brand cd-rs and cd-rws better than no name brand cd-rs or cd-rws? Also how about when its readings cd-rs and cd-rws does it read the name brand ones better than the no name brand ones? On my office depot cd-r brand and compusa cd-rw brand when i go to read them it takes forever sometimes to load up all the files off the cd with their right icon. Sometimes it even freezes my whole computer while it is reading my compusa cd-rw or office depot cd-r brand that i burned with my older HP 9110i CD-RW. Why would it do this? Any help appreicated Please reply Thanks

If anyone out there owns a Plextor 24x 10x 32x cd-rw please let me know because i would like to ask a few questions about it real quick. Any help appreicated plese reply Thanks

Gambler FEX online wow those are some nice and very cool icons! I love them! I appreicate you spending some of your time doing them and giving them away for free. That is very nice. Again Thank you so much! I espically love that mirc and quake 3 icon too!

What does everyone think about this? Wondering if this is really true or not? I didn't say i believed it or not just wondering what everyone else thinks. I really dont know if its true or not so i am neutral. <a target=new href="http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp1.gif">http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp1.gif</a> <a target=new href="http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp2.gif">http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp2.gif</a> <a target=new href="http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp3.gif">http://www.infoworld.com/images/infographics/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp3.gif</a> <a target=new href="http://www.infoworld.com/articles/tc/xml/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp.xml">http://www.infoworld.com/articles/tc/xml/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp.xml</a> Please reply Thanks

Wondering if you got it to work and if SSE was enabled. I see that people with Asus A7V 133 with older revisions which don't suppose to support the Athlon XP are working on them with SSE enabled. I was thinking maybe it would be possible on the older revisions of the Abit KT7A or one with raid mobos too. If you have a Athlon XP running on your Abit KT7A or the one with raid please let me know how it is running and if SSE is enabled or not. *I do know the Abit KT7A revison 1.0,1.1, and 1.2 are not supported but still want to know if they work because the Asus A7V 133 seems to be working fine for people with older revisions that arent supported either* Any help is very appreicated Thanks

Here is the email i got from Above.net The problem is capacity between @home and abovenet, and we are working to increase it. There is nothing more that can be done untill the new capacity arrives. Jason
