Acer PrisaScan 320P

baseline
Has anybody gotten the Acer PrisaScan 320P (or any other parrallel port based acer scanner) to work in Win2000 yet? I've tried the Win2k-EPP drivers but it really doesn't work, contrary to what the Hardware Compatibility list shows.

Explore My Computer is really SLOW

Kyosho46vr
The first time I click explore My Computer it takes almost 45 seconds to do so. It wasn't this way before and I haven't changed any hardware nor drivers. Any thoughts? TIA Ned.

Sound stops working randomly? (SoundBlaster Live!)

lordlee
Hi guys. I just recently installed a SB Live! Xgamer to replace my Vortex2 card in my bp6 dual box running W2K Pro retail running the latest driver from creative labs. I have noticed that after about 10 minutes of running either a game or WinAmp, the sound will just die (and leaving a low humming on).

poll on the SB Live 'popping' issue

silentj
are you using Digital or Analog speakers? i noticed with analog speakers, i got very distorted, 'popping' sound. plugging in the digital speakers seems to have resolved all of that. .

V3 3000 & Win2K D3D question..

silentj
anyone know how to disable the vsync (sync to monitor refresh rate) in Win2K Pro? I'm using Gary Petersons OC Util which allows you to disable Glide, but not D3D. Is there a registry line i can edit? or another util which will allow me to? any help would be appreciated.

Where are Logitech Drivers?

Ballplayer
Does it not say in their FAQ that Logitech would be releasing windows 2000 drivers and software for its game devices upon the launch of windows 2000? Well, it's well past the launch and there is not even a sign of any beta drivers.
