Hi, After some minutes my computer hangs. Only a hard reset solves the problem. The Problem occurs with the following games: Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament and No One Lives Forever. I've the newest patches for all the games. Where is the problem ? Patches ? Drivers ? My configuration: AMD T-bird 1GHz ASUS A7V (BIOS Ver: 1005) 128 MB SD-RAM 133 Mhz Infineon ASUS V7100 GeForce 2 MX Pure Creative Soundblaster Live! Platinum 5.1 ASUS 50x CD-ROM HP CD-RW 9350i Win2k + SP1 + AGP Patch Detonator 667 Greetings Stefan Berger

OK. It's done. I've updated my BIOS to 1007 but at first I used the 7.58 WHQL drivers. To JJ32: My video card BIOS: 3.11.00.04 Should I enable AGP fast write or not ?

How do I verify my video card BIOS ? Are the newest Dets really the best or should I use the WHQL certified ones ?

I've formatted my HDs and I'm going to use Win2k. Now I've installed Win2k the 5th time and always when I install the Driver for my Soundcard I get the following boot error and Win2k is only usable in Recovery Mode: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT What's wrong with that f.... driver !!! Where do I get a new one (if Creative has developed one ;-))? Stefan Berger

Sorry, I've no modem installed. I've DSL :-)) But I've solved my problem (I hope so)!! I just downloaded the new Live Ware 3.0 and installed it. Then I re-installed the origninal software pack but before I added the original Win2k driver on the Creative CD-ROM. I don't know wether it was the new Live Ware or the manually added driver from the CD. Perhaps the Installation always installed the wrong driver. Greetings Stefan Berger

I heard it too. But in my case this isn't possible because the Promise shares with the 2nd PCI slot and that slot is free !! It must be a driver problem.

Thanks for the Ideas. Every Card has its own IRQ. I've the IRQs configured as shown: Serial bus controller 9 Serial bus controller 9 Multimedia Device 9 Network Controller 5 Display Controller 11 Mass Storage Controller 10 I've the HD's on the Promise and the CD-Rom on the Primary Master and the CDRW on the Secondary Master.
