Weird problem with CD audio

hi_robb

Lo folks, I got a weird problem with CD audio. I have a Sblive 1024 and installed windoze 2000. Everything seemed fine until I tried to play a music CD, there was no audio at all. I checked the cable running from the CDROM to the soundcard and that was fine, it was plagged into where the CD cable should be.

Whistler and multi-monitor support

Bursar

This was raised briefly in the Hardware forum, but I thought I'd pop in here and ask properly. Are any you people who are running Whistler using either a DualHead or TwinView card? I ask because the multi monitor stuff in Win2k is basically broken compared to how it works in 9x.

Win2000 install help

Emilee1

Hey guys, I need some help installing 2000 Pro. Currently I have WinME, and it works great. I placed the 2000 cd in, said no to the upgrade or my curret OS, and went for the clean duel boot option. Well, it starts up fine, allowing me to choose from WinME, and Win2000 setup.

Anyone know how to make Win2k ignore the fact that my computer isn't a pure Dell computer? It must check the bios or motherboard somehow, but how can I get it to run anyway? Thanks so much, Isaac
