3Com 3CSOHO100-TX NIC and WIN2000 Server

s1n1st3r
O. K. I went to 3com and downloaded their most recent release of drivers that should support win2k. Windows found my NIC and the drivers installed correctly but I still can not get onto my network. In Win98 I have to get into the OS then run 3Com NIC Diagnostics V.

CD-ROM only reading CD on initial boot

drewmc
I'm not sure what to do on this one, so I'm looking for a little advice or help. I have a CD-Rom drive that is only reading a CD when I initially boot the PC. If I swap the CD after I'm in windows, it won't read it or any future CDs and it won't even acknowledge a CD is in the drive.

ASUS A7M266 + SB Audigy = audio skipping (WinXP)

Shin_Magus
Hi. I've been having the famous audio skipping problem (A7M266 uses the VIA 686b chipset on the Southbrigde) for some time now. I'm not sure, but I think when I first installed George's PCI Latency Patch, I got rid of it.

ATI TV Wonder Pro screen capture problem.

Disgustipated
Hi, I'm new, and honestly just looking for what is probably a simple answer to my problem. I just got an ATI TV Wonder Pro, which works fine for what I want to use it for, outside of one problem. When I capture a still image the picture is covered with a bright red tint that was not visible otherwise.
