Sorry, am running Windows Xp Pro, and have made the necessary adjustments to allow use of the mic and line-in sockets as speaker output............

Hey all, Just bought myself some 5.1 speakers, and had them working fine last night on my PC, then I decided to cart them into the lounge to watch a DVD. After trying to reconnect them up to the PC in the same method, I cannot get any sound from the centre speaker. I have a Leadtek WinFast...

Oh, I agree that it is a top quality board for the price (picked mine up for £50), packed with features and OC'ing tweaks, and according to benchmarks, one of the fastest socket A boards you can buy.

But if there's corruption at the POST screen, that eliminates all possibility of it being drivers or OS doesn't it? so it has to be hardware yeah?

Thanks for your thoughts, both are fully up 2 date.

Ah well, after a couple more hours fiddling I gave up and reinstalled my AGP card. Corruption was what I saw, and a fair bit of it, even at POST there were little white lines where there shouldn't have been, which to me says it's definitely a h/ware fault. I'd appreciate your thoughts folks...

Hey all, trying to get my on-board video up n running so I can donate my AGP card to a more needy person. All is fine installing drivers, all is fine on the desktop, but as soon as I try to start a game Xp blue-screens on me with the message: NO_MORE_STACK_IRP_LOCATIONS I've done some Googling...

My RAM is 512 PC2700, and my swapper is system managed, so always a good size. The drive is alone on it's own IDE channel as I've heard other drives can cause problems. I can't find a model number/name for this damn drive, not on the box, not on the manual, not on their site............

The model is a Freecom CD-RW (40x12x40x), they don't appear to have model numbers or names...........

Yes, sorry, more info is gooooood. The CDRW is about a year old, it has 2 Mb on-board cache, and I use Win Xp Pro. Not sure what you mean by cache settings??? What's a firmware update and where can I find one?

Soz, should have put a subject in...........

Hey good people! I've had this burner for about a year, and it's been average. But now, everytime I try to burn an image from my HDD I will ALWAYS have errors on it. Audio CDs burn fine, but they're not quite as fussy as data are they? I know the game images I'm using are good as they...

Nice, thanks for the advice :-)

Hello all, I've only just noticed after recieving a warning message from Bootvis, that my disk write caching is disabled. Ok I thought, and went into my HDDs properties, then into Policies, only to find that the whole field is greyed out, although the "Optimize for performance" option...

Do you know what? I have no idea why the format worked either, but it did, so I aint complaining! SYAR2003, yup, I have the 3.13 drivers installed with SW-IDE, and yeah, they work like a charm! I agree with cdogg, using Nero as a benchmark is not the right way to go about things. If you look...
