monitor power saving.....

CUViper

The monitor power saving feature lets you shut off the monitor after a certain time with no user input. Apparantly, the only input that is counted is from the mouse or keyboard. My problem is when I am playing games using only my gamepad (USB Gravis Xterminator), because after a while the monitor will shut off.

PeeWee-2k

I have a Diamond Supra Express 56i V PRO running under win2k, and when I installed the beta drivers i got an error message on a blue screen. This doesnt happen when im offline so im assuming there is a driver problem to do with the modem.

CUSL2 supports Hibernate?

Kyguy

I don't see an option for hibernate in Win2k on my new CUSL2 mobo, is that because it's not supported or what? Device manager says it's an ACPI PC and I've updated the latest Intel INF's but I have NOT installed SP1 (ick) In case of an emergency, break glass, scream, bleed to death.

External modems in Win2k

silicongod

Hi there. Does anyone know how to stop Win2k from not disabling an external modem if it is off at boot time? The MS knowledge base reckons that this is the way it is designed to work. However, I can leave my 33.

3D stuttering on VIA chipset mobos

tanksimpson

Ever since Win2K came out, I have noticed stuttering problems in 3D games (e. g. UT, SOF, Counter-Strike) that only afflict Win2K systems with VIA motherboards (Soyo 7VCA, Abit VT6X4, MSI KT7 Pro), but not on systems with Intel BX or 815E mobos or AMD 750 mobos(Abit SE6, Asus CUSL2, Abit BX6r2, FIC SD11).
