Software / multiple sound cards

That\'s the reason I tried the on board audio too , to see the difference .
I allways get a new sb in the cheapest version , because the card is allways the same and I have an old soundworks speaker system  5.1 . My sound is also connected to my  hi fi system . Good sound is important for me (every body has his own opinion about this) .

I have a sb audigy 2 (pci) and an ac97 on board .I tried to install both and  I had to do a safe boot with the last  good configuration.So I uninstalled the drivers from my ac97 and disabled it in the bios .
I won\'t say you\'re wrong , but for me it didn\'t work , so I don\'t advise it .
As you say what\'s the good of it .

Replace the usbehci .sys by a  good one from a friend or so  . This is the usb 2.0 sys file

I suppose two sound cards  won\'t work,because you cannot play a sound file  with 2 sound cards at the same time , they also use different wdm files.
The only thing you could try is install one , disable it in the device manager ,install the second  , and use  only one or the other ,by disabling  one or the other .who knows

You\'re right , most possible it\'s not the drivers but a pci 128 from creatives seems to be  not one of creatives newest cards but nevertheless even a sound blaster 32  isa still works .
I would change it to another slot  , and try again . The fact that , when he does something else with the pc , he\'s got the interference and bad sound , means a lot  , but there is too few info  to find out more f.e: Is there memory enough , which pci card shares the same irq ,
Perhaps his video card driver  can interfere with soundcard , who knows.

Software / Upgrade with WinXP Full CD

Even with an upgrade it isn\'t advisable to install winxp over win98se .I would make a clean install , your system will be much more stable .You can always save your msword files and other office files , even your email and wab file .

Create a dos 6.22 boot disk first :

Once you start up, with this floppy disk  which has cdrom support  you can be able to install or start it if your dos game  isn\'t already installed

Could be a lot of things :
How much memory do you have.
Is this an usb soundcard  , or an old pci pc 128 sound card .
Is there an irq sharing with the soundcard .
In order to get good sound  trhere\'s the quality of the card ,the quality of the speakers , can depend on the pci slot  , not enough memory , cabling , conflicts with drivers of other cards , or it\'s own drivers , interference , etc....
If it\'s a new pc you buyed  it  has to be functioning properly  .

You should look better
those are the refresh rates:
Screen Resolutions
1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz
1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz
1024 x 768 @ 117Hz
800 x 600 @ 150Hz
And here is the link to the driver  *.inf file
Down load and extract in a folder called CTX , and update your monitor  .

Software / Win XP won\'t power down

« on: January 18, 2003, 06:57:20 PM »

If you get a screen with \"You can now safely shut dow your computer\" or something like this , you dhould go to the devive manager , view , show hidden devices ,nt Amp/Legacy support,Nt Amp/Legacy interface node , and enable it . If there is a yellow excamation sign , it won\'t work in most cases .
Doesn\'t hurt to try it .

Depends what your monitor can support .You must first mark \"hide the modes that the monitor cannot display\"
in the \"display properties,settings,monitor \" ,that is , if your monitor is installed in the display  properties . Then you can take the highest refresh rate ,although 85 is high enough .
If only a plug and play monitor is installed , install your monitor  first , with  the right *. inf file . Every screen resolution has it\'s own refresh rates from the monitor , the higher the resolution ,the lower the refresh rates .
