I am at witts end myself. Finally got new tweakable machine after 3 years of Dell
uniformity and after changing OEM OS (Powerspec/SiS) and freshly installing XP Pro
, one device after the other is having configuration problems. Keyboard and Mouse
(Logitech MX700) is especially annoying, but I also sport two AGP Adapters, 4 monitors,
a bunch of dubs when checking for hidden devices, a 1394 Firewire card that CAN'T
BE UNINSTALLED (device is no longer there but XP keeps asking for driver)......it's
real frustrating. Paid $60 for a Bios upgrade just to find out it only works from
a floppy.
Hopefully experts around here have some hints. I've been googling for 5 weeks , lurked
in many forums and am now contemplating yet another clean install. Or buy a bigger
Power supply, or try SATA...or maybe a Mac????
I also moved soundcard, changed every Bios option and played with jumpers. Temp folder
(Local) is littered with partial installs and box runs hot.
I could post reams of Sandra, Everest or HJT if needed.
Other then that, plug and pay is great!
