gravis game pad pro usb

ada6
I cannot get my gravis gamepad pro usb to work with xp pro. I know it's probably not compatible since it's a couple years old and because it is plug n play, xp won't recognize it. There has got to be a driver that will make this work.

simoncito
Hi, I've installed a MS Intellimouse wireless optical mouse on my NT4 computer. It works fine and all - but the interface of Firefox (the browser) just won't receive any right clicks at all. Tried the troubleshooting function of the mouse software, but that doesn't help.

Goodtymez2002
I recently purchased an ATI All in Wonder 128 Video card and I downloaded the newest drivers from the website and the newest version of the Multimedia center and after attaching the AV In Composite and attaching some components to it I found out that it doesn't show anything on the TV when they are plugged in.

Problem with CD Drive (Not Burner!)

kslearning
Sometimes when installing a program from my regular cd drive it just stalls. Not just the installation but the entire computer freezes and I have to turn it off and on again. It is not the drive itself as I replaced the first one and same problem.

Apple Pro USB Keyboard in Win2k

mha
I saw in the NT-compatible hardware-index, that the Apple Pro Keyboard should work in Windows 2000 without any tweaking at all, but elsewhere I've read that since the Alt+Gr button is missing you won't be able to do these characters: {}|~@£$.

XP and Yamaha CRW2200

salymus
I loaded WindowsXP on my machine and it will not detect my Yamaha CRW. If I only attached my CD-ROM XP will see it and it will work. As soon as I add on my Yamaha CRW, XP does't see any CD drives. I have tried using ONLY the Yamaha, but that doesn't work either.

Audigy Original or A7N8X onboard Nvidia APU???

jdulmage
I've been having a discussion with a few folks and we haven't been able to come to a clear understanding. So I'll ask some expert panelists for feedback on this. A7N8X comes with an Nvidia APU which is superb (probably best onboard sound out there), but I was thinking of getting an Audigy sound card.
