Had 98SE installed on first hard disk with everything working more or less
fine. Finally got brave enough to boot XP Pro and install to second hard
disk resulting in dual-boot system.
I AM IMPRESSED. Everything went smooth as silk. Just kept adding drivers as
required, each doing exactly as expected.
Took over a day but it all's working well. Burner burns, dvd plays,
multi-monitor is as expected, video in and out both as expected. Geez, even
half the apps and games installed under 98 run after simply creating a link!
Even the 3rd party Netbuei went without a hitch so the other pc's in the
house and this one are still all happily sharing as previosly. Even some
"ati two video cards" issues I had to always work around under 98 are gone.
All in all ... nice, for time in awhile MS gets a thumbs up from me..
The only remaining issue is the apparent lack of a suitable "software
package" from Creative so that I can use my back speakers on the PCI128.
Under 98SE's package, the 3d controls and "special effects" (reverb, chorus
etc.) the card can do are controlled via their mixer program. They don't
seem to provide one for XP.
Can anyone help with this issue?
