graceland714
How can you get the display on the Picturebook C1XS to use the entire screen settings under Win2000? I recently upgraded to Win2K, and after I did, I installed the NeoMagic display drivers for Win2K from the Sony website.

Installing ACPI Support

For some reason XP didnt install ACPI support, and im wondering if there is a way to install it without reinstalling XP. I heard of ways in 98 and such, but how do u do it in XP? The reason XP didnt detect ACPI support i dont know, might be a conflict.

MB beeps on startup when HD's start

videobruce
When I boot my Epox EP8-KTA MB with 2 Maxtor HD's when the drives start, there are 2 beeps together as a DTMF touch tone keypad sounds. This has started recently. The only thing that I can see is the drives are having trouble starting or some conflict when they both start at the same time.
