Liveware drivers

Seldzar
Yes yes another liveware post, does anyone have the 15mb liveware that was going around recently? My hard drive died and I would kinda like them again. I have searched and found a few dead links and really(like REALLY) slow links.

Dont Install Epson Drivers!

Athlon
After installing them you have 2 problems: 1) They're slower then Default W2k Drivers 2) In Some applications they don't print right eg. the page footer Solution ? Go back to Epson xxx ESC/2 W2k Drivers from the CD/Original Installation.

New Liveware 2k Mixer Problems

Jabba
A fellow posted something earlier about being unable to simultaneously unmute two or more devices in his SBlive mixer. I didn't have this problem with the old 70meg leaked Liveware, but I now have the problem with the official Creative release.

I'm so tired of the bull**** with W2K, what a joke of an operationg system. It's great for the buisness but all you gamers who try all these lame ass drivers are just asking for problems. The OS WILL NEVER BE A GAMING OS.

Abit BP6 Rant

Apoptosis
I would like to take a second to complain about Abit. In particular their driver support for the BP6. I have had this mobo basicly since it came out. It was a great idea and seemed perfect for the Win2k machine I was building.

I have an old ISA Advansys SCSI card that I need to work in Windows 2000. I ran the Microsoft upgrade checker and it failed at that. Is there any way to get this card to work. I use it just for my cd burner.
