MSI K7T Pro 2 & SB Live Value Problems

Four and Twenty

My friend has a MSI K7T Pro 2a motherboard with the shitty via onboard audio built in. He runs Windows Me. The performance of the VIA AC97 audio was not up to par as he uses this machine for gamming and listening to music and the VIA audio has a nasty tendency to skip and occupy a ridiculous amount of cpu time.

logon

ironman666

hi everyone. i have profiles setup in winME. whenever someone comes over, i tell them to simply click on Cancel when they see the logon prompt. and that, obviously, takes you to the default profile. i have, however, noticed something weird with the user accounts.

No floppy

INFERNO2000

I just built myself a new system. . . it's the lower one. . . but didn't install a floppy on it(won't have one for a while). How do I convince Win98 that there is no floppy drive? 2000 and Whistler had no probs.

Win ME and sudden HD access

Gambler FEX online

I just installed winME, and started up Rollcage 2. Then after a while playing (second track, lap 2) the framerate got choppy. I noticed the HD was accessed in the background (not by the game). . I have 448MB ram so it isnt low ram/disk swap, I also have disabled scheduled tasks.
