  • Sorry for the lateness of this post, I spent almost the whole weekend installing and re-installing all of my softwear on my new computer ... 8 TIMES!!!! I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window, but I'm not going to let it get the best of me, oh no! I will defeat this thing.


    After countless hours on tech support calls to Microsoft, ATI and Creative Labs, it seems that I have a driver issue with the SIS648 chipset (buckle up and put on your propeller hats, folks) and it needs to be updated. Not a big problem, except I can't get to the download section of the SIS site!


    So here it is a holiday, and I've been behind this computer for the last 3 days. *sigh*


    At least the PC is running, all of my software is installed except the sound card drivers. So I'm very close now.

  • Pressures!

  • know that feeling well, when the window looks inviting. Patience,they say is a virtue, but it can be sorely tried. Hope you get your problem solved soon

  • Isn't it great that you don't need sound to browse Xanga?

  • Hang in there!  All will be healed in good time.  I remember when I first got this system, I was so frustrated I put it back in the box for a couple of months until I had the courage to mess with it again.  Now, obviously, it works like a dream.  Couldn't be happier!  *pets computer*

  • I noticed that the sound card seems to be the one component that always seems to screw things up  Used to do it all the time on my old 486 whenever I installed a new program (well, okay, a new game), and then the sound card would cause the PC to crash, prompting a visit to creative labs' ftp/web site.

    What fun.
