  1. Ah I get it now, I was under the impression that neither of the mice worked in the port. Perhaps mouse B itself is faulty? Could be a loose contact that just about makes a connection in the first port but doesn't in the second port?
  2. Is the USB port that isn't working USB3? Windows 7 doesn't have USB3 drivers included with the install, so to get those ports working you'll need to install those drivers from your manufacturers website
  3. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be an ambient light sensor connected to this PC (doesn't show up in device manager in Windows XP or 7, also no sensors are detected in Windows 7 control panel). I can't actually find the Generic PnP driver on Windows XP, I tried to use the Windows 7 Generic PnP driver in XP but it didn't work. Changing brightness works fine in 7, just not in XP
  4. Hi jaclaz, The monitor is seen as a Plug and Play monitor, it has the ID DISPLAY\AUO26EC, which I couldn't find any driver for online, is there a way to disable the adaptive brightness on XP then?
  5. Hi everyone, I have Windows XP Pro 32 bit working perfectly on my Asus K55A laptop. The only thing that isn't working is the brightness controls. All the other controls using the Fn keys (volume, wireless switch, sleep, etc.) work fine. Normally I'd ignore this issue only that the display is just a small bit too dim for me and I'd like to increase the brightness one way or another. So if anyone knows how to enable the brightness Fn keys on this laptop or knows another way to increase the brightness I'd love to hear your suggestion. Thanks!
  6. It's been a while since I ran ME on this machine so I couldn't tell you which driver I got it working with, I got my Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 today anyway and it works beautifully in 98!
  7. Yeah I've tried every combination of drivers that dell provided for the ADI and none have worked (although they work in Windows ME, oddly enough) so I think the sound blaster is my best option
  8. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, which came with XP, looking to use it as my main 9x rig. The integrated sound card drivers for Windows 9x don't work, so I've ordered a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 sound card which should do the job, I'm also looking at getting a cheap AGP card, but that is optional as the motherboard graphics work fine (although only 8mb graphics memory, so gaming might be a bit sluggish). My main worry is the CPU itself, which is a beastly 3.2Ghz, I understand that I'll need to disable hyperthreading, do I need to worry about anything else when running at such a high clock speed? Thanks in advance.
  9. ...are doing? I ask this because it is by far my favourite version of Outlook. I have 2 accounts set up, my personal Gmail and my college email which is on an Exchange server. I don't open any emails that look dodgy (gmail appears to catch most of them anyway) and I'm very careful in general about what I open in Outlook. Am I okay to continue using it past the EOL?
  10. So as the title states, I took ownership of my iTunes folder on my Windows XP partition so I could access my music while using Vista. Now, however, I can't access the folder when I'm using XP. I just get an "Access Denied" message. I tried sharing the folder in vista allowing everyone to get full control but I still cannot access the folder. I hope someone can help! Thanks
  11. So I have a No-CD patch on my Age of Empires game(Don't worry, I do own a legit CD) and just a few minutes ago clicked in to play it. However, I happened to have the Monster Truck Madness game CD in the drive at the time, once the main menu of AoE came up, the Monster truck madness music started playing :L I'm sure this has been discovered before, but I thought it was both an amusing, and interesting occurence! Boy I love retro games
  12. UPDATE: I tried the XP drivers and again it froze at the setup screen, I don't think I'm going to get it working on this laptop Thanks for all your help tomasz86!
  13. It's a cheap stick I got from ebay, so yeah, thought as much, I do remember when using WinToFlash to copy XP onto the stick there was an option to format it as FAT16 LBA and that made it much faster, is there any way of doing that here?
  14. Ok I will, is there anyway to make the WinSetupFromUSB process faster? It took almost an hour to copy the files before.
  15. Well I got the setup onto the USB but when I boot from it the installation freezes at 'Setup is Starting Windows 2000'. When I Google it this page comes up :http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234772 It seems that the SATA drivers are incorrect, should I try to use the Windows XP drivers that I mentioned in an earlier post? EDIT: The SATA drivers are definitely the wrong ones, I tried changing to Standard PC HAL with F5 and I got 0x0000007B BSOD
  16. Okay, I'll try this out tonight! I'll post back when I have results! Thanks for your help! I know, the difference is barely noticeable xD
  17. It's the English version (my flag is the Irish flag, not Italian xD ). Does HFSLIP work just like nLite? I tried to use an 8GB USB Drive already and I kept getting a 'biosinfo.inf could not be loaded' error. Here's the info about the system itself, with the hardware that I would most like to be able to get working under 2k: Compaq CQ56-253SA ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series ( PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9712&SUBSYS_1604103C&REV_00 ) AMD SATA AHCI Controller ( PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4391&SUBSYS_1604103C&REV_00 ) - at the moment using these drivers on XP supplied by HP: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-Software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/td-p/114120 Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter ( PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_3040103C&REV_01 ) Realtek HD Audio ( HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0270&SUBSYS_103C1604 ) If you need any more info just ask me And thanks for helping me out!
  18. Yeah I found a driver for it but I can't be sure whether it's going to work I guess I'll have to buy a couple of cd/r's just in case How do I turn on enableBigLBA?
  19. Hi all I've been reading through this forum and I'm very interested to see how well Windows 2000 can work for me in this day and age. I currently have Windows XP installed on this laptop (CQ56-253SA) which originally came with Windows 7. I slipstreamed the SATA drivers into my XP install so is it possible for me to do it with Windows 2000 as well? Thanks for taking the time to read this
  20. So I seem to remember a project a while back to create a website to install updates for Windows 98 machines after MS shut down the official one (I don't know if this projects still around, perhaps someone could enlighten me on it). Do you guys reckon there'll be a similar project once XP's update site is eventually retired? It'd be quite useful particularly for those on pre-SP3 machines who don't have access to Windows Update anymore, it could also be used to push 3rd party patches out once the MS support ends. Any thoughts?
  21. Tried it, but it didn't work...will I be as well off to try reinstalling Windows?
  22. Just installed Windows 98 on an old machine and I'm trying to get my hardware set up... BUT.. Everything in device manager is installed twice and causing conflicts with itself. If I try to uninstall all occurences of the same device it just installs itself twice on reboot! Any ideas what I can do???? Thanks!
