IE6 Favorites with multiple windows open... HELP
99CobraCvt posted a topic in Customization & Tweaking
Since my upgrade to the release version of IE 6, my favorites are jacked. If I have more than one IE window open, no matter which window I select a favorite in, it opens in the first window. It's really annoying! Any one seen this before, or better yet, fixed it!! thanks! Chad -
Is There any sound card that works in win2k really well ?

I found it when researching why my system was still getting occasional freezes. Oddly enough TBeach has pulled reference ato the issue from their knowledgebase. They appear to have replaced it with a generic line about if you have problems to de-accelerate the card. Here is a blurb and link from viahardware that references what I am talking about: Quote: http://www.viahardware.com/scfaq.shtm: There have been reports of certain 3D games bouncing users back to the desktop within ten or so minutes of play. It does not happen to all users or all configurations. Turtle Beach has acknowledged the problem in their knowledgebase and are advising affected users to employ DirectX 7. My thanks to Thomas Jaeger on Usenet for bringing this to my attention. -

Santa Cruz has acknowledged gaming issues with Santa Cruz and DX 8. They haven't issued any patchs or updates that I am aware of. they just reccomend staying at DX7. :-/ ...kind of a bite, being as I bought my Santa Cruz to get away from issues of the SBLive!. -
I can't remember where I got the DX beta from. I know it was a beotch, as MS apparently got rather upset. lol If you have an FTP site or something I can send it to you. I haven't noticed any changes or improvements though. I am just trying the 1x AGP to see if it stabalized my system. Didn't phase it. The 4 in 1 doesn't applie to me, as I am using the ALi chipset. :-/ Let me know if the AMD patch fixed your issue. If it did, then we have different underlying issues.

I can definitely relate. I've been lurking here for a bit, tried every solution I could find here and many other places. For me openGL and D3D both hang my system after several minutes of play. I also get random hangs just on the desktop. Sometimes a few an hour, sometimes several days in between. Although it seems to maybe be related to playing aucio and video. Here's amy setup: [*]A7A266 (Based on ALiMAGiK1) [*]TB 1.2GHz [*]256MB DDR [*]geForce2 MX 400 [*]Turtle Beach Santa Cruz [*]HP 8250i (Not the overclockable one ) [*]LG DVD Rom [*]USB HP 930c [*]USB Keyboard [*]USB IntelliMouse Optical [/list:u] Here is what I have done so far: [*]Upgraded to SP2 [*]DX8a to 8.1 Beta [*]Bios to 1007 (I think. Whatever one is in Beta) [*]SB Live! to Santa Cruz [*]No Fast Writes [*]1x AGP [*]nVidia 12.60 drivers [*]Disabled all hardware based power saving [*]Applied the AMD patch [*]Applied the CDCreator 5 patch [/list:u] Some things I've noticed on this site and others are, it always seems to be PC's with AMD, ASUS, and nVidia. Perhaps I'm over generalizing it but...
