Xerzuis
Hello, I have a Soundblaster Live! Platinum and I have seen a lot of instructions on how to get Liveware! 3 started and everything. I followed the instructions in the FAQ on this website and I had no success.

Confused about RC3 + Live! ...

I've got a Live! Platinum (with live drive) installed with the default driver (clean install of win2k). I'd like to get liveware3. 0 installed, etc. I read the diff. posts about it, but i'm a little confused.

Monster MX200, just MIDI

PreAmp
Hey, I know that the Monster MX200 won't work with Win2k yet, but I would like to know if I can just get the MIDI to work? The reason the MX200 won't work under Win2k is because they use DOS drivers for audio, but the MIDI IN and OUT should be normal device drivers.

Windows Update Web Site

ByronT
Has anyone been to the Windows Update website recently? I installed RC3 the other day (I think Monday. . . ) and I'm not sure if I have visited Windows Update since then. But now that I have, I noticed that MS has six new device drivers listed for download.

Not a hardware question, but..

MousePad
Is there something like NT's Disk Manager in Win2k RC2? I'm trying to examine/change my disk layout, don't feel like installing Partition Magic, and was wondering if MS bothered to keep the disk manager.
