SB PCI128 (1370) Win XP Pro Problem

T2000
The default driver in XP Pro for SB PCI128 (ES1370) doesn't work for me. I've got scratching noise whenever I play any sound. I've searched this forum and I could only found solutions for Win2k Pro but not XP Pro.

Hi, Has anyone got the Thrustmaster FF wheel working in XP Pro? I only have 98dvrs in the box (managed to find 2000 dvrs for USB), but would rather use serial connection if poss. Win XP will not install the wheel using the auto install.

any disadvantages to partitioning your drives?

kingtrey
i've always kept my harddrives partitioned, mainly so that if something happened to my OS then i could do a clean install without having to format my whole harddrive. i've never had any problems with keeping it partitioned, but i've always been curious to performance.
