Dual Monitor problem with 98 and 2K

Shad0Hawk
It's a strange problem. 98 works provided the AGP card is set to boot first in the BIOS. Windows 98 works provided that the PCI card is set to boot first in the BIOS. I really hate messing with the BIOS everytime I want to change OS.

IRQ Probs (due to ACPI?)

KB1972
I've got a new Compaq p3/500 with an internal PCMCIA adapter that I've added (for work). I use SanDisk flash disk cards, which end up being treated by Win98 as a new HD controller (on IRQ5) and as a new disk drive.

pirinto
There's a freeware system driver for WinNT4 on Quote:FAT32 is a FAT32 file system driver for Windows NT 4. 0. Once installed, any FAT32 drives present on your system will be fully accessible as native Windows NT volumes.

Need help getting STB TV PCI working.

Xenomorph
I'm using AverMedia's WDM Bt8x8 drivers (as suggested from the NT Compatible site), and those install fine. Most TV programs I use look for a registry entry for the WDM capture device. All those programs find is my WebCam.

ACPI keybord lockup

Valmore
OK, her's my problem. When I go into energy saving modes, like Hibernate or stand by, my keybord stops responding as soon as I get off the energy saving mode. . . So I cannot enter my pass or login after exiting these modes, most of the time.

Looking for a USB scanner that works under 2K

Shad0Hawk
I'm in the market for a good USB scanner that will function under Windows 2000. Most companies haven't gotten their USB drivers out yet and I hoping that someone knows of a good scanner between $100 and $150? Thanks in advance.

IRQs

reymus
Hello everyone. I've only had one problem running Win2k Professional so far, and I think, based on some of your replies to other posts, that some of you might be having the same problem. I am running a PII 300, 192 megs ram, Creative Labs TNT AGP, SBLive Value, Lucent 56 K PCI modem, and Creative Labs DXr2 card.
