Some probs with an AMD compy

[KampKounslr]

when the computer tries to copy anything across the network, the copy will hang (we can end task it), and the mouse cursor freezes (but the mouse still moves; it just does not have a cursor). The mouse has been randomly doing the latter for awhile now. Also, I've tried plugging the mouse into a USB port, but it does nothing (no drivers, no workie). System specs:

Duron 800
Abit KT7
256mb Ram
20gb Maxtor 7200rpm
Innovision Tornado GeForce2 MX
Sb Live Value
Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Microsoft Intellimouse (optical)... pluged in via PS/2
Microsoft Internet Keyboard (PS/2)
250w Enlight ATX powersupply

You probably have a driver issue. I don't think there is any such thing as an AMD compatability problem. I found that most people who are having problems with the KT7/KT7-raid haven't installed the proper mainboard drivers. Go to the via website and get the 4 in 1 driver patch. That will probably take care of your problem.

what OS you running? I wouldn't call this an AMD compatibility issue, you're jumpin the gun here. What IRQ is your NIC on? Is it sharing w/ anything else? I had a similar problem, except any file transfer (large) would hault and reboot my computer. ACPI was my problem.
