Lock Ups

Goaks

I have the 3. 56 driver installed for my viper 770 Ultra, also aplied the DX7 patch. But after a few minutes of play my machine just locks up. Runs great until then, but can't seem to figure out what is causing the lockups.

RC2&RC3 problems with Smartlink modem

knight_21

I was wondering if there was any one else out there having a problem with the SmartLink (archtek) 5634 BTS internal 56k v. 90 modem. I have been running Win2k since beta 2 and this modem has been running great - connecting anywhere from 48000-51000.

Telepath Winmodem in RC2

Demon Bane

I've been hacking away at windows for the past 9 hours trying to get the blasted modem to work, and it just isn't working. When the modem gets detected, it comes up as Telepath 56k Winmodem with x2. It never asks me if I want to install the drivers or anything, it just installs the drivers and labels it 3Com 56k Wi ...

Win2k RC2 (2182) & LiveWare 3.0 fix

Vermyn

Here's a copy of what I just sent to Anthony. . . anyone else run into this? - Greetings. . . I followed your directions numerous times in the latest update of your Win2k fix. . . there are a few items that took place that weren't in your notes, and I ended up with an inoperable system under your fix I'm afraid.

3com Big Picture Kit and Win2k RC3

D Town

Has anybody been able to get this thing to work? From what I've figured out, the 3com Big Picture uses a Hauppauge Wincast chipset for the PCI part of it, and that much is at least detected in Win2k, but I can't find any suitable drivers.

4 Speakers in Win2k

Pendragon

Hi! I was wondering if it was possible to get all four speakers to work in Win2k. I've got a SBLive! and the SoundWorks (or something) 4-Point speaker system. After I installed Windows 2000 RC 2 only two of my speakers worked (the 2 in front), and LiveWare! didn't work anymore.

Firewall

Siluan

i´m using W2k and i´m badly looking for a firewall. Read about a built in Fw, but can´t see something like this. I can block ports in the Network (card) settings. I was very happy with Conseal, but unfortunatly it doesn´t run under W2k.

Q3demo, RC2128, Voodoo3

rpierce

After loading up Seldzar's driver, I got Q2 working properly, so I thought I'd try Q3demo. When I start Q3demo, the screen goes all grey/white for a minute then bombs w/ W2k error box. The last message I could read on the console said was GLW_STARTOPENgl ()-could not load opengl subsystem.
