Hi guys when i put my 3com 10/100 network card in a pci slot... it comes up thinking i have a virus on the harddrives... and it doesnt pass the "PXE" or something... and then gives me option to carry on booting or reboot.. if i try carry on.. it dont do anything.. i have an Asus A7V 133, AMD tbird 950mhz, USB Adsl.. that shouldnt effect the card? if anyone has the same mobo.. any chance of helping setup.. maybe abios setting.? Thanks.

Hi guys/girls I got Win2k installed recently.. and it has locked my DVD region... and i dont know where to find Remote selector 1.77 to see if it will work.. i have downloaded a firmware patch which is supposed to make it RPC1 or something as opposed to RPC2 which is what locks it as RPC1 wasnt region locked. so i go into dos and type the following; FLASHUP 2601idar.dld 2 /c ^^^^^ that meaning that my dvd drive should be hooked up as secondary master... BUT its setup as primary slave... so what would the end syntax's be to make it primary slave? also ASPI.dll's it doesnt see my dvd drive when i try use "driveinfo" and ive d/l'd the ASPI.dll's and they are installed in the correct directories.. HELP! Thnxs ------------------ homicide

ill tell you what your problem with your machine is... as i have the exact same problem and i have a **** load of cooling on my machine with a; Asus A7V AMD Tbird 1ghz 256ram Geforce 2 GTS blahblah.... win2k its the problem with Windows 2000 and the VIA chipset on the motherboard.. windows 2000 does not support the chipset very weel at the moment.. as ive found out, my machine will lockup any time... even if ive just rebooted.. it may lockup,.. very frustrating. anyway try thisd patch from microsoft and see if it helps. it didnt help me, but anythings worth a go. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/q261606/default.asp This update resolves the "Video Hangs When Running 3-D Graphics Programs" vulnerability in Windows 2000. When you run a program that uses 3-D Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) on a Windows 2000-based computer that uses the VIA AGP chipset, your computer may stop responding. This vulnerability is caused by incomplete support for the VIA chipset in the Windows 2000 AGP drivers. Download now to add driver support for your VIA AGP chipset. ------------------ homicide
