| 366465 | 2005-06-23 22:46:00 | I suggest you DISABLE the onboard sound completely, if you bought a SB Live! you may as well use it for everything. The 1st thing to do is to uninstall the drivers for both the onboard sound as well as the SB Live! Next restart your PC and go into the BIOS to disable the onboard sound there. Once you have disabled the onboard sound you can then re-install the SB Live! This is just to ensure that you have no driver hiccups and that there are no traces of the old drivers on your system. Once you have installed the drivers for your SB Live! I also recommend that you got to the Creative Labs Support Site (www.creative.com) Click on Software AutoUpdate and just follow the steps. The site will automatically detect what you have installed and will then upgrade all the components appropriately. PLEASE NOTE: This site only currently supports INTERNET EXPLORER so do not use FIREFOX or ANY OTHER BROWSER as it will tell you that it won't work. Hope that clarifies everything for ya. cheers chiefnz |

| 366467 | 2005-06-23 23:56:00 | Yeah I would say it could be a video driver issue . What I would suggest is to revert back to the driver version you used before the ugraded ones you installed . This might fix the problem . It is always best to wait for 2 driver versions later before you upgrade; so for example if you're using 71 . 00 wait for 73 . 00 to come out before you upgrade . The other general rule of thumb with drivers is that if you're not having any issues with the drivers you have installed then DON'T upgrade them . It emphasizes the old addage . . . If it ain't broke . . . don't fix it!!! cheers chiefnz |

| 366469 | 2005-06-24 01:45:00 | I would try BF2 with the original drivers you had installed. What are the rest of your system specs? Might give a clue as to what could be wrong? cheers chiefnz |
