Hey FP or anybody else I need some help

[Busby]

I justrecntly bought a SoundBlaster Live! value and since then every now and then when i'm either playing a game or listening to MP3s and surfing the web my whole system will freeze. I haven't tried switching the slots yet or anything.

I would:
1. make sure you have the newest drivers.

2. try your machine without the card, chuck in a sb16 (just to make sure it's actually posing the problem

ex out

I have been using a SoundblasterPCI64 for a few months and haven't had a problem.

I would download Live!Ware 3.0 but when I have tried that before i lost a lot of environments and stuff. I would like to know how you can figure out which version of Live!Ware you have.

Classic PCI IRQ sharing problem symptom. The SB Live! is very prone to this problem. Go here for a fix: http://voodooextreme.com/flypenguin/glfaq5.htm#5_9

Here's what I did:

Original Set-up:
Network Card
SB Live! Value
Free
Voodoo 3

Set-up Now:

But FP didn't say switch slots did he, No I did and what was it that fixed your problem.
That is what I thought.
Yeah I missed you like that ugly mole I had removed from my AN*S.

P.S. I haven't read FP article in IRQ sharing but if it refers to switching slots remember I said it to you on the bus prior to your post here.
I will say that I learned the switching trick from FP though. Thanks FP your the BEST.
