4 Speakers with SB Live in RC2??

Chimera

Hi I have a standard SB Live, with a 4 speaker setup that works fine in Win2k. However, in XP RC2, I can't get the rear channel to work. I haven't installed Liveware because I've heard it doesn't work correctly in XP, so I'm just using the default XP SBLive driver.

Random re-boots

HELLBRINGER

Not a huge problem. . . But, lately, my computer will decide to just reboot it self when i am doing something. For instance, once it just restarted when I clicked a button. . . I think it may be program related.

I soon will install Windows2000. Ive read about the many security bugs of IE 5. 5 and now i am unsure about a few things. - Does IE 6. 0 still have those bugs and needs to be patched or does IE 6. 0 have all those patches built in ? - Do those SPS Packages for IE 5.
