Hi, Im wondering if anyone could tell me how I can synchronise NT Workstations 4. 0 to NT Server 4. 0 when workstations start up. Our organisation records live audio from court proceedings so having all workstations displaying the same time as the server is quite important.

ATI RADEON 9800XT POWERCOLOR FREEZES

elwill0207

My video freezes & sometimes restarts. Sometimes VPU recovers. If not, i just get a black screen, but can still hear audio. I have PowerColor 9800XT CPTECH & am extremely p**sed. I can understand if it was just one person, but the fact of the matter is that there is a substantial amount of steammed ATI customers.
