1) This motherboard has onboard LAN, but I'm currently using my old realtek LAN card with this PC. The problem is that everytime the PC loads up into Win2kPro it detects the onboard LAN and proceeds to search for the driver. I'm having to keep clicking 'cancel' to stop it, and it shows up with an exclamation mark in device manager which is rather unattractive. I can't remove the onboard LAN because it is onboard! What can I do to solve this? There must be someway to tell the computer to switch it 'off' for the time being.
2) Right, after installing Win2kpro, and updating the Service packs, Via4in1 drivers etc. I proceeded to install the onboard Audio. I installed the Avance AC'97 Audio Driver from the CD that came with the motherboard, reboot, all seems well, the speaker icon appears in the system tray, but whenever the PC seems to be doin something, reading a CD, loading up an application, I get unpleasant static coming from my headphones. It's as if the sound chip is getting interference from the rest of the motherboard!? Is this a driver error? If so I don't think there are any other drivers I can use. How do I fix this? Anything I can change in the sound properties? I've played around in 'sound' in control panel but to no avail.
Thanks in advance, please keep in mind i'm a relative newbie in all this computing business.
