Windows 2000 questions

[Daemorok]

First problem.
I cannot get my modem to work with win2000, its a USR Pro faxmodem. It installs correctly, everything seems fine, but when i go to setup a connection i have problems.
First manual setup, everything is OK thill i have to give the connnection a name, then no matter what name i use it tells me the name is invalid and closes the window. If setup through the wizard it closes the wizard on the second step, asking "are you sure you want to close.... not finished setting up" but i never told it to close.

Second problem.
When i copy large amounts of files from my raid array (dual 30 gig deskstars raid 0) to my other drive (WD 20.5 gig caviar) my computer locks up. I thought it was specofoc files but it freezes no matter what i try to copy.

My setup
Win2000 SP1, VIA 4.29, and all patches for windows (via etc)
Tbird 950@1104, Abit kt7a-raid, 384megs mushkin
Herc GF2mx, Herc GT XP, 3Com 905btx, USR 56k pro fax
20gig WD caviar, dual 30gig deskstars (raid 0), Pineer slot DVD, HP burner, sony floppy

any ideas at all please let me know

sounds like you've been hit by the via686 bug. Go to www.viahardware.com to get the fix and flash the latest bios to your mobo.

Did you load the drivers for the raid controller during win setup or after?

 

[Daemorok]
