High Heat 2002 in Win2k
This is a discussion about High Heat 2002 in Win2k in the Windows Games category; Hi, after talking to my high heat buddies at the message board, I have concluded that most everyone can run the game in Win2k, but not without some serious sound problems (skipping, looping, etc. ). They all had a soundblaster live card, and the latest drivers for all.
Hi, after talking to my high heat buddies at the message board, I have concluded that most everyone can run the game in Win2k, but not without some serious sound problems (skipping, looping, etc.). They all had a soundblaster live card, and the latest drivers for all. I wish there were email addresses on this page where the game is listed so I could email the people who reported no problems (#1 and #5). I would like to know their system specs and stuff. I don't have Win2k loaded on my machine at the moment and unfortunately I don't think I will if there are problems with this game.
I would love for someone with a similar setup as mine report no problems. But, I don't think it's going to happen....anyway, if anyone has tried this game in Win2k, I would really appreciate a reply here telling how it went.
Thanks!

bump...
I heard there are issues with the VIA chipset and Soundblaster Live!
OP
I know I'm going to sound stupid...but, what the heck is the VIA chipset that people talk about? I think it's got something to do with your motherboard, but I'm not really sure. I don't think I have one though.

ReRead line 6) "I did experience a few minor sound glitches, otherwise it works great."
OP
i don't understand the point of your reply SHS. is this in response to the VIA chipset?
Brad
Brad
Did you or did not say this ?, "but not without some serious sound problems (skipping, looping, etc.)."
As SBLive & VIA it funny ALi nor SiS chipset don't have this problem so go fig "far I know".
But ask me I think maybe a DMA problem but then againe it could very well be this junk ACPI I beat all your card are on one IRQ rigth ?.

um....i think you are trying to help me, but i don't have a clue as to what you just said.

Yes VIA chipset is on your motherboard.
VIA Hardware recommend the Santa Cruz soundcard instead of SB Live!
Quote:I have a SB Live! and am experiencing problems - why should I get the Santa Cruz instead?
If you own a SBLive! and are experiencing the following symptoms:
- Sound crackling
- DMA issues
- Sporadic system hangs
then you have a very good chance of alleviating these issues by changing your sound card to a Santa Cruz.

I don't have any problems with SB Live! in Win2k. May be because I have Intel Chipset.
My system spec:
Abit SA6R (Intel 815e chipset)
PIII-933

Geforce2 GTS
