The primary channel only has that one hd attached to it. Also when the pc boots up the bios lists it as udma mode 4. And I'm sad to admit that I do have the latest version of the bios... I hoped...

Thanks for the replys guys.

And about the via drivers, I'm sorry I didn't put that in my previous post, but before I used the miniport I ran the xp built-in via drivers and then later downloaded...

Ok, let me start this out with the situation and then I'll list my specs:

This depends on the version of Norton anti-virus you are using. The retail versions of Norton now only include 1 years worth of updates, after that you have to pay, even for DAT updates.

I've got two words for you: Restrict Run if you don't, you'll have so many mp3's downloads and games of Counter Strike and Team Fortress running, you won't have any bandwidth left... you'd think...

Here's the way to do it without TweakUI

Open your registry and delete the value named 'IsShortCut' from the keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile.

First thing, be sure you have the latest drivers from Nvidia. Your PC specs shouldn't hurt it that badly... ofcourse a faster motherboard and processor wouldn't hurt, but my friend runs it on a PIII...

You can download it from Tweak Files - Registry - RegClean. You'll be downloading from a ZDNet server, so that should be safe enough.

ahh, it's good to know I'm not alone... I wonder if there is a medical name for it... I guess the telepathic link would be the best route.... stupid "mouse shoulder"

The best I did for my voodoo was to download the wickedgl mini drivers.... Wicked 3d

this only works for certain games

Try going to Open GL - Downloads and download the Win2k driver... it may take a while... perhaps it will help <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Ok, I must have bumped my head cuz the Vanta was based on TnT2.... but, I think you should find help in one of the links on that page <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Check out the Nvidia website and download the Detonator3 driver Nvidia - Windows 2000 ... if that doesn't work, they have a link at the very bottom of the page for "other" cards not listed here, but...
