How do you organize favorites so you can have your bookmarks by date added or most frequently used (like having anandtech forums at the top of the list :)
U need to use WPCEDIT program and change a hex setting. That is the fix for getting sound using vortex1 and 2 sound cards in win2K systems.

Troubleshoot. Reduce you system RAM to the minimun. What kind of sound card do you have? I know I had problems with my radeon and my vortex2 soundcard. New sound drivers solved my lockups. You're specs say diamond Mx sound, what chipset is this?
I believe windows media player 7.1 plays DVD and it's free (I maybe wrong though)

Radeon LE is sweet. I installed one last night and installed the radeon hack and bumped the clock to 166Mhz without a problem and ran Quake3 demo for about an hour (1600x1200x32 with everything on high). I also tested Serious same fly over demo and it looked okay but got jerky at anything after...
I found the culprit! It's my orange micro IEEE 1394 card. I disabled it in the profiles in win2K and win98SE and now the computer boots normally. I guess I will take out the card since I don't use it very much, any ideas on how to make it work?
Yeah, no NIC in the machine.
I did a bootlog text file and the only thing that struck me odd in the file was that windows fonts were tring to be loaded but had an error of "load fail" code 016 or something. I checked c:\windows\fonts and all the fonts are there (this was a clean install).
I just put together a system that was working fine until recently.
Its a 1.2GHz Athlon
soyo k7vta-b MB
256MB PC133 RAM
WD 60GB HD drive
win98SE
dual boot with win2K.
windows loads and sits there for almost 4 minutes before starting desktop. When i first put it together, from power on to...
my 10X dvd can rip a CD just under 3 minutes. It makes up for my slow 4X burner.
Auric, the DLP is connected via standard vga cable with a 25 foot extension from digital connection to the EVC connector for the DLP. The projector also has s-video and composite inputs, but I use the vga because...
You're a nice guy.. "hey honey pull up a kitchen chair, while I take the whole leather couch and ottoman, and get me a beer" j/k. The 16x refers to the max data transfers speeds at the center of a disc, playback is still at 1x.
ON a PC is the ONLY Way I watch DVDs. Wake up and smell the coffee, DVD on a PC kicks A$$. My computer drives a DLP projector on a 100+ inch widescreen. The cost of the computer: 500 bucks. Standalone DVDs, PS2 dvds are an OK temporary solution for your "little" 36in TV, until you save...
