Jlo555 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Can anyone explain this to me: Everytime I use windows 98 and I either burn a cd or copy files from a cd/dvd, the copying process always goes VERY slow and slows down the computer almost to a complete hault. The same is true with burning cds and dvds. I highly doubt it's the OS or my hardware. I think it may be a chipset driver malfunction, because I did see this as a major issue on windows 2000 pro sp4, until I reinstalled the chipset driver like 3 times. But the problem does NOT go away on windows 98, and I can't seem to find any way around this. If it's any help, here's my specs:Abit NF7-S v2 motherboardAMD athlon xp 3000+ 1024MB DDR400Sony DVD-ROM/ LG DVD-RW DL 16x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 unless there's something different in your experience, afaik nforce2s use the default IDE driver in win98SE because nvidia doesn't supply a compatable one in the unified driver package.check DMA is enabled on your drives in device manager.ensure in DMA access controller 'Reserved memory' is ticked and set to 64Kensure the ASPI is properly installed (i recommend 4.60)but you've probably tried all that you could try asking around here if nothing useful turns up in this thread.

Jlo555 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Crap, DMA is what I forgot about. I usually check that in control panel whenever I do a clean install. Thanks Miko, looks like that fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
