Printing problems...

Nimos

Under Win2K (using the HP's drivers)my HP Deskjet 840C prints only if the quality setting is at draft (worst quality, fast), any other setting and the printer rolls out a blank page. Under Win98 the printer has no problems at all.

Help with Win2K and TNT 770 Ultra

hunch

Well, I made the mistake of applying the compatibility upgrade to Win 2K and I lost all 3d in my games. I am not sure that this is the reason that I lost 3d, but the timing is perfect. Now all games either state that no 3d hardware is found, or they run in software rendered mode.

What Bus Speeds does the ABIT BE6-2 Support?

Battleship

I am thinking of getting one of these suckers to do some serious overclocking. I have a celeron 433 now running at 541 (83 Mhz bus) on a BE6. Problem is next bus speed up is 100 Mhz and it will not make that jump.

RCA Lyra

TheSpork

Who was the crackhead that said the Lyra will work in 2000? All those drivers from SCM do is make it so that you can access the flash drive from explorer, and copy over files to it. BUT both RealJukebox and MusicMatch Jukebox (MusicMatch now has a beta Lyra plugin) do not work when you go to transfer files to the lyra.
