I've been meaning to say this earlier, but this post made me remember it again: I admire your English language... In almost every post you write - well, every one that's related to RealTek, nVidia, ADI (SoundMAX) or whatever crappy brand (in short: in every post in which you express your anger) - there's AT LEAST one magnificent image, in this one it's the 'you could have knocked me over with a feather when it worked properly'. It just makes me smile, then grin, then laugh . Just to let you know ;-) Back ontopic: I was hoping Dumpy Dooby (funny nickname BTW ) could specify his problem... So, let us know, Dumpy Dooby!!!
