compaq has released new drivers (newer than creative’s) dated 2002-03-18 for the sb-live & audigy and those haven’t crashed (BAD_POOL_CALLER on closing the wave-out device in winamp) yet (knock on wood). you can find them here (377mb, i.e. the whole install cd). remember to delete the CToem-config file (or they won’t install). these are working fine for me so far…

grandia 2 on the pc
does anyone else have the problem that the game hangs (not crashes) when fighting “the claws of valmar” after it casts zap!???
Fix by throwing Money
fixed my flickering with a (used) compaq tft 8030. nifty. not great for playing fast-paced games, but good for my eyes…
Squeaky clean
after a (cleansing) night in the bathtub, the cherry-keyboard still worked just fine (respect!). so i returned the ms natural keyboard pro (because i just couldn’t get used to the UK keylayout and the split typing surface at the same time)…
xtra sw33t
spilled (a whole) cup of cappuccino over my keyboard. now, i’ve got a natural keyboard pro w/ 3 years insurance against accidental damage…
interference
it’s a problem between the tyan board and geforce3 cards and upwards (seemingly not gf4 mx).
solution: close this bridge:
problem: where is that on an asus geforce4 ti400?
argh^2!
grounding?
my computer still does the funny stripes. put the gf4 into another computer -> no stripes. put a gf2mx into my computer -> no stripes. argh! so it’s either the power supply or something else entirely…
