TV Tuner card flickers with new Athlon XP 2000

thekourier
I haven't been able to figure this one out yet. I recently upgraded my CPU from a Duron 750 (OC'd to 900) to an Athlon XP 2000 (Palamino). I've got a generic BT878 PCI TV tuner/recorder card. I like to record a lot of my favorite programs to DIVX.

W2K SP2 will not recognize full capacity of 20GB Maxtor

pmistry
Windows 2000 will only recognize the first 8GB of my Maxtor DiamondMax Plus. However it will recognize the full capacity of my 80GB Western Digital. Windows ME and Windows XP both recognize my Maxtor as 20GB and my BIOS does too, the drive has the Auto setting configured in BIOS.

diis
I get this error message during the install of Windows 2k on a recently formatted HD: An unexpected error (268353600) in line 1562 in D:\nt\private\ntos\boot\setup\arcdisp. c I think that's a Ramdrive of some sort, because d: is my cd-rom drive and that directory isn't on the cd.

Developing Win2k Parallel Port Drivers

Aravi Nemiji
I'm planning on doing some driver development involving a parallel port device. I'll be developing Win9x, Win(NT,2k,XP) and Linux drivers (possibly also BSD and HURD, will look into this). What I'm after is any information that may help me write the Win2k drivers.

Maxtor drives stalling at startup.

I wasn't too sure how to list this. I put this problem under another forum as a beeping problem with the drives, but beeping isn't the right term. It would appear that it is a power supply problem, BUT this has only happened the last 9 months in the 1 3/4 years I have had this setup with the only changes being a di ...

CableModem users: Tried NIC connection vs. USB & diff?

Immortal
The thing is with some modems that connect thru USB (ADSL is the best example), they use up your CPU cycles, like Soft modems/WINmodems. Whereas if they are internal PCI/ connect through an NIC card they dont use any (NIC cards have onboard processors, like the some of the office connect's).
