More Audigy Drivers

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…

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)…

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…
