XP Pro issues.

[whomhead]

Hi guys,

Having some issues on a two week old XP Pro install. Here's the system:

MSI Pro2-A Mainboard
Duron 800
512MB PC133 RAM
Abit PCI RAID controller
2 45 Gig IBM's
Creative GeForce2 32MB
Adaptec 2960 SCSI host
Plextor 40x scsi cd rom
Plextor 12/10/32 scsi writer
Pioneer 16x DVD IDE
SBLive 5.1


The first issue is when navigating the desktop(ie maximizing/minimizing windows, scrolling, etc) i get a cross between a crackle and a pop. It sounds a lot like a dirty volume knob on a home receiver. Everything plays/sounds fine, i just get that annoying scratchy sound.

Second is when I open the my computer window and try to right click on any of my optical drives i get a "no scsi host adapters found" error. Device manager lists my scsi card as an "adaptec aic-7850 pci scsi adapter". I'm not having any functionality issues with any of my drives, it's more of a nuisance not being able to access the drive properties. The adaptec website lists no XP drivers for the model 2906 card.

I think that's it for now. Any light you guys can shine would be greatly apprecited! Take care.

You probably need to install the ASPI drivers.

They can be had from here:

ASPI WinXP v4.71

This might help with the sound. Open up the Audio properties box and check the box to mute the Line In
