    Opinions on best mobo for AMD 64 3500+ BESIDES MSI

    I've presently got an MSI K8T Neo2 F and I have to think that it's not one of their best. I've tryed many different things now for over a month but I'm left to conclude that perhaps a better or different mobo might solve my stabilty problems. Anyone with good experiences have preferances...

    Sound and ethernet drivers for MSI K8T Neo2-F motherboard?

    I've got a new mobo, cpu (AMD 64 3500+), memory and everything's fine EXCEPT that I'm presently unable to find/install correct, functional drivers for its onboard sound and ethernet. The manual isn't specific on this and the cd-rom that came with my mobo doesn't have the correct drivers...

    Try XP 64 beta now with new MSI board or just wait until Retail version arrives?

    I just got my new MSI board with an AMD 64 bit 3500+, new HDD so it'll be a fresh OS install too. The board comes with a free version of Win XP 64 beta but I don't know if I'll have driver issues yet. If I add my 2 SCSI Seagates to this PC, I doubt there's XP 64 drivers for my SCSI card...

    Work PCs have been tweaked somehow to prevent streaming online music

    I use to be able to listen to a very good internet radio station via "Live 365" until we got a new IT person who's done something to all our PCs here at work, preventing most streaming music like the one I like. There's no firewall. Most PCs run XP, one runs Win2K but none now allow this so...

    Unable to fix my email address in my profile, has red stars but no info?

    In my profile here, it says "REMOVE" in the middle of my real e-mail address with a red star next to that and my real name. I can't edit it either. Can anyone here help?

    UT '04 DVD edition install problem

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A basic question but I've never yet installed a PC game on my PC since adding a DVD drive, maybe a year ago? I finally picked up UT '04 at BB, loaded it into the DVD drive, nothing happens. I click on E:\setup.exe...

    Win2K start-up error after removing pre-installed AOL 6.0

    My laptop needed another HDD so when I got it back, it had AOL installed so I un-installed it through "remove software" but when I boot it up, I get an error message that it can't find the AOL start-up tray icon (which I just close but...). I can go into accessories, tools, start-up programs and...

    ZA question for guys with cable, multiple PCs w broadband router and ZoneAlarm Pro

    I've got the SMC router firewall and the free version of ZA on my 4 PCs but I'm wondering, is ZA Pro worth the $40 (for one PC) and if purchased, does one copy install on other networked PCs in a home network or must one buy the version for networks for over $100?

    How to remove MSN from ME notebook? Same as XP removal method listed?

    My notebook PC came with MSN pre-installed and I want it gone! I don't see any listing for it in the usual places (control panel/add/remove software), program list or even a file with it YET it's there. I use it via ethernet card, network so I don't want or need it to dial up using its modem...

    XP Pro error during install on SCSI PC, safe mode also impossible (now ?)

    Anyone here try installing (upgrading) XP Pro from Win2K Pro on a SCSI dual boot PC? I've got it running fine with XP Plus on my older IDE HDD machine (rig#2, was also running Win2K) but at the end of the XP install on the newer unit (#1 in "my rigs" below), I saw a message stating that I...

    Win98 doesn't boot after removing a USB mouse

    I've tryed posting this elsewhere but havent received a solution yet. My main server PC (about 1 yr old, built by me) dual boots Win98SE and Win2K. A while back I unplugged my Logitech optical USB mouse and tryed my older Microsoft balled mouse instead trying to see if that'd make a difference...

    Free MSN dial-up and RR cable, co-exist?

    Well.............Although my new laptop uses a networked RR cable modem service with no probs, the laptop came with 1 yr free MSN dial-up modem service too and although I surely don't need it, I thought the two would co-exist on the same machine (NOT!) So.....after I installed the MSN program...

    Network printer inop in Win2K from client PCs but OK in Win98?

    Since adding Win2K to my dual boot server (Win98/Win2K), the 2 client PCs both running Win95 can't use the printer physically attached to my server (the server can print in either OS however). If I boot the server to Win98SE, the printer works from both Win95 clients. Now, I go into control...

    New weird UT problem,apparently stuck in spectator mode now?

    Win2K, all I did last night was change my model type and now everytime I try to run a practice game, it starts/runs in what looks like a demo and I'm viewing the game in 3rd person through various bots, not first person. I've re-booted, looked through various controls, tryed other types of...

    Adding link to rig info here, how EXACTLY?

    How does one get the system "rigs" page linked here? I'm not doing it right so far. The page is created but I'm either only able to get it listed in "website" or it shows the whole URL in "signature" below. I'm not seeing info on this posted here anywhere either.

    Themes for Win2K like there are for Win95/98?

    Maybe not because it's NT based and for "professionals" who don't need no stinkin' themes :) but I find them amusing and liked them in Win95/98. I havent yet found or read about anything similar yet being offered for Win2K, anyone?

    Outlook express always opens small window using Win2K only

    I have Win2K running in 2 PCs, this one dual boots Win2K and Win98SE. Whenever I'm using Win2K and opening new mail or sending mail (either PC), a small window always opens and I then have to expand it manually.....EVERYTIME. This never happens with Win98 or Win95 as once you expand a smaller...

    Dual boot/Win2K install "stop error" after re-boot with SCSI hdd?

    I'm running a T-Bird 1 ghz cpu (at default speed for install), Abit KT7-RAID mobo, 256mb PC-133 ram, Cheetah X-15 SCSI HDD with Tekram DC-390U3 controller (which might be why I'm seeing this?). After I opt for a "clean install" which allows to install Win2K on one partition (not an...

    How might I be able to boot/run my SCSI plus 2 IDE HDDS at the same time with KT7-RAID mobo?

    This isn't really that important now being that I was able to get some of it working together enough to move some files from my old IDE HDDs onto the one (and only one of 3) SCSI partitions but it's strange to me that I can't yet get all 3 SCSI partitions running at the same time as my 2 IDE...

    Anyone install a SCSI Tekram DC-390UW? One simple question (maybe?)

    OK, found the drivers hidden away in the Tekram cd and all is good but I just have one question regarding this SCSI adaptor. It's listed twice, when it first boots after doing the cpu/ram count thing then also listed twice in device manager now under SCSI controllers (lists LSI Logic Ultra3 PCI...

    Anyone here use Partition Magic to partition a new HDD? Question....

    I've only previously used MaxBlast with my old Maxtor HDDs but never this program which someone sent to me. My new Seagate Cheetah X15 (18.4 gigs) comes with no partitioning software either. I start the program off a floppy and go into operations, created a 9gig primary partition labelled C...

    Anyone here have a Seagate SCSI Cheetah X15 HDD, Tekram DC-390U3W? Opinions?

    I'm thinking of getting the X15 (switching from IDE) and using the Tekram DC-390U3W SCSI adaptor running Win98SE. Does anyone here one or both and have any opinions or comments on either before I "take the plunge"? The reason I ask is because I recently read a thread elsewhere where...

    Any Abit KT7-RAID users here? Problems......Solved

    If so, I'm experiencing problems that I've never had before with my other PC mobos after installing one and could use some advice. I posted one 2 part concern so far in the 'general hardware' forum but no replies/ideas so far http://www.pcabusers.net/forums/showthread.php?postid=1347#post1347...

    Swapped V3 for GeForce2 GTS and now UT and Q3 are AFUd.

    I absolutely hate this video card BS. I went from a V3 that worked to what's suppose to be a state-of-the-art card, DLd the detonator 6.31 drivers (yes) yet none of my favorite games run. I previously uninstalled 3DFX tools, 3DFX from the registry, removed voodoo and 3dfx files found in file...
