Are you using Windows XP? There has been an issue with the AC97 drivers and XP. I tried dozens of different drivers (on a different motherboard) until I stumbled across one that worked (and sorry, I can't remember which one!). I seem to recall it was a generic AC97 driver from the Realtek site

I have this board installed. The sound is enabled in BIOS by default, but you need to installl the sound drivers from the CD that came with the M/B. If you don't have the CD, the drivers are at http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

I had this problem with a PC where a non-booting USB key had been left in place during start up. Clearing the CMOS worked then.

I often find with laptops that USB drives get assigned to the drive letter normally used by the CDROM or to the first network drive. To check, go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management(Local)and look for the USB drive in there (you may need to have a...

Hi Neil - thanks for this workaround idea, I'll try it. Problem is I have hundreds of documents that won't open with Word 2002! Rick

Have Office XP on Windows XP and just installed Office SP2 and WinXP SP1. Now Word will not open document files (all were generated in Word 2000), just crashing and offering to send a message to Microsoft to report the problem. Worked fine before SP2. Help!! Nothing on the MS knowledge base....

With a mixed XP and W98 network I know that each XP computer must have a user account for the W98 computer(s) name and an active password (ie the password must be active on the W98 machine and the XP user account) before XP will allow access. Might be worth a try with your problem too.

I've had XP Home Edition for about 3 months (and working fine for 6 weeks, but that's another story...!). I have a 40Gb HD with 3 partitions - system, apps and data. Every boot, chkdsk runs on the f: drive (data), and every time there are no errors. Norton Disk Doctor also finds no errors...

A partial answer I'm afraid - go to the microsoft XP site and search for the complete answer onthe XP hardware forum if you don't follow this. This is known and the first thing to try is a registry edit - only do this if you know what you are doing! (Better instructions are on the Microsoft...

Anybody got Intel Anypoint (Wireless USB version) working with XP yet? I've got 5 PCs (4 W98SE and XP on the main PC). All worked fine for a year when all PCs were W98, now had to upgrade to the XP software and after a few days with no problems, now PCs appear and disappear from the network at...

Just a quick thought - there's loads of information at www.geforcefaq.com. Try there.

Thanks guys - problem solved as it was a piece of rogue code that created an ID table - but the data was not present on the other PCs. It was a piece of code picked up in an edit process. Lesson learned - re-use of code from other databases always need a careful check! Many thanks Rick

Thanks, Nick - we tried that and all was OK. Now we are struggling! Rick

This is bizarre! I have created an Access 97 DB that works fine on my PC but which gives a compile error (compile error in hidden module)when transferred to other PCs in our team. All PCs are essentially identical Dells wih NT4 SP6, the same version of Access and much the same other software...

Overheating could also be a problem - are your fans working - especially the one on the processor? We need more information about your system...
