THat's probably the easiest way for you for now... without reconfiguring your pc's to network. windows 95, 98, 2000, XP & vista all talk to each other just fine... you just need to get the network settings right and set the security to mat...

Metallic-sounding/distorted audio

Sorry about the delayed reply. It sounds like something is constantly polling your audio hardware or stalling the drivers. Can you post your full MSINFO (or email it to phi[AT]aliciaandnick.com ) and I'll take a look

Here's hoping all's well but if not can you please post your FULL MSINFO (not DXDIAG) There could be a program running that's causing the problem

Looks great! You have to admire Rarebit's talent for getting so much use out of the existing models simply with creative skinning.

Metallic-sounding/distorted audio

Try turning off the enhanced audio option in the audio options in-game. Does it sound like the sounds are coming from a tin can, or do they sound a bit squelchy like a corrupted mp3?

General Technical Help and Questions · 06/21/2008 08:58:25

Problems

Is the problem on every game or just every online game? It wouldn't hurt to upgrade the power supply. And your video card isn't very powerful. You want something like a Radeon HD 3850 or 3870.
