i cant get the irq to 11 because xp+acpi= no dice. do you guys think this is the problem?

Please to be standing by...I is working on it...

IRQ's higher than 16 are possible on PC that is PC97a compliant.

I suspect you are using DirectX 8a or above. Everquest doesn't support DX8a. Make sure it's DirectX 9 on Windows XP or 2000. Also check for updates to DAoC.

It's definately a software problem.

I've been designing computers since they were called slide rules.
:lol:
I've been using them since we programmed them with patch cables and punch cards. In the old days....10 miles uphill...downhill...snow... :-)

Fricken Armenian terrorists. Where's DeloreanMM when you need him?
:bandit:

[Bigdogjim]

I hate when that happens. Just re-boot

:lol: :lol:

[Billatpro]

I don't have those freakin PC problems, Mac rules. Oh s**t now I'll get flamed!

[UncleLar]

Use Ford and Harley Davidson special tool Part Number 1, a 3 pound blacksmith hammer,works every time. Just give it a good whack!

[vaderv]

Uninstall then reinstall the soundcard... I do mean physically remove and uninstall all drivers.

[Bigdogjim]

Would Logan not be proud:D Even LML would approve of the way we handled this:D

Here at MM.net we can fix almost everything:rolleyes: ;)

It just keeps getting better:P :)

heh, this board is wacky.

anyways, hes gonna reformat and i told him to pull the card but he doesnt feel like doing that. awh well. hopefully this will work.

if there is one thing i've learned is that creative's drivers are closer to being a virus then a useable piece of software.
grrrr...i hate them so much because they used to be really good.

[CRUZTAKER]

Screw it and low level format the hard drive......

Or not!

[Dr Caleb]

Close all your windows, shut it off, start it up, open all your windows.

Whatta ya mean that doesn't work for cars???
:lol:

[WolfeBros]

Does it have traction control ? A chip will fix the sluggish shifting...... I dunno......that usually works for most questions.
:lol:

Live long and prosper. Oh and switch to Linux?
