Win2k can't use my PS/2 mouse port!

brainsoft
I though I had killed my PS/2 ports some how, they used to work when I got the mobo, but one day they didn't anymore. I don't know what happened, but I always felt sure I messed something up somehow, and have since been forced to use a USB mouse an keyboard.

ok_interested
I was wondering if anyone has both the new 23. 11 and the 1. 08 WDM capture drivers installed, and whether or not the capturing works in windows 2000? and if so in what programs do the capturing work? expecially would like to hear from people who have the same vid card as i do Asus v7700 delux.

Nvidia Win2K refresh fix screw my monitor?

Ron_Jeremy
I have never had a problem with this utility before. But I just ran the Nvidia Win2K refresh fix on an older Samsung Syncmaster 550s monitor (I made the registry backup on the hard disk). Now when I boot the machine (& I will be doing this physically soon), I can't load windows.

To those with VIA chipsets and DMA problems

pmistry
I finally got Windows XP and 2000 to enable DMA for my CD-ROMs. In Win9x all you have to is check DMA, in Win2k/XP you have to ensure that DMA if Available is selected, however, some of us VIA users still get PIO modes even with this on.
