Ok, I know about the virtual IRQ, or what ever Microsoft calls it in 2k. But in some games, network ones specificly, I am seeing some deffinate video glitches. I think it might be coming from the fact that my sound card, nic card, video, and highpoint raid chip are all sharing the same IRQ. I could be wrong, but I have tried everything else I know to do, including most recent drivers for everything on my system.

What I am having trouble with is, changing the damn IRQ's, 2k just will not let me make changes, change button is greyed out. So, what is the easiest way to do this? I know I can change from ASPI to Standard, but then some of the power options dont work. Is there another way to change the IRQ settings?

See MS KB article "General Description of IRQ Sharing in Windows (Q252420)". Note that if you change an ACPI HAL to Standard PC you must do a repair install.
