Is this a Mobo or OS problem
This is a discussion about Is this a Mobo or OS problem in the Windows Hardware category; I am having the wierdest problem ever on my Win2K machine. For some wierd reason whenever I use my USB modem to connect to the net, the machine goes all juddery and slow (think 8Mb P60 trying very hard to run Office 97).
I am having the wierdest problem ever on my Win2K machine. For some wierd reason whenever I use my USB modem to connect to the net, the machine goes all juddery and slow (think 8Mb P60 trying very hard to run Office 97). I had no problems with a standard modem, so we know it is USB related. The funny thing is though that although the same problem exists in WinMe (dual booting for a while before it was booted off the disk), it is nowhere near as pronounced. I have as per usual updated every driver etc, been to Windows Update and got everything but to no avail. I've listed my specs below, if anyone has an idea, please help.
AMD T-Bird 1GHz
ABIT KT7 Mobo
384Mb PC133
30Gb Seagate Barracuda ATA66
DVD, CD-RW, CD
32MB AGP GEFORCE 256 DDR
SB PCI 64
Modem is Conexant HCF V.90 USB
FCC ID : H52PT-3050

OP
Yeah, in 2000 you need to go to USB Root Hub properties and deselect error checking, then go into BIOS and select that "KT7_CLK" setting and change it to default, not optimised. I did this, and the system is mucho nice-o.
