I had the same problem occuring on my system when I played either Half-Life 2 or Far Cry. I have an Athlon XP 2100+ (upgrading soon) and a Radeon 9800. It ended up being a problem with my Ram, since I have 2 sticks of different brand name modules. To fix it, I played with the timings and...

I had the "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" problem when I had to modify PCI latencies (or something like that) so that I could get my Vortex 2 sound card to work in XP. I pretty much became tired of the errors, so I reformatted and bought an Acoustic Edge. Do you have ACPI on? Some people have been...

I've just upgraded from ACS54W to Z560. Although the Z560's are the awesome (my roof starts shaking when I turn the bass 75%) the ACS54's are a great buy (I think that they're around $60.) I don't really know about the other ones, but I recommend the ACS54. Try doing a search for the speakers...

yes, it works....I'm not sure if the registry key is located in the same area as before. If you go to www.ntcompatible.com, it should tell you where exactly the value is....sorry, too lazy to check (cut me some slack.)

ok, so it's a software problem...thanks...by the way, what software do you use to play your DVD's?

here's what I did: Install 3.11 alpha Install 4.01, select no when it asks you if you want 4.01 to play 3.x content For the problem with people having movies playing upside down in WMP8: Go to Tools, Options. Click the Performance tab. Click the Advanced button (bottom of window). Make...

I've had the same problem.....it's an IRQ conflict between the sound card and the ATA100 controller. What I did to solve it was to move the sound card to another PCI slot. Another thing that you might want to try first is to download the 1007 bios which supposedly solves this problem.

I've had the same problem and I did 3 things at once which solved my problem (I know...major no no, but I was really pissed off that night...that blue screen was the only thing between me and a rock solid system ;) . Anyway I first updated the multimedia drivers for my keyboard (it's a Rotek...
