I posted a message about a strange problem with my win2k machine, since
nobody replied, here I have some new ideal and some update.

I have a new hardware upgrade, changed my old video card to a Geforce2 MX
32M card.

First, about the game SoF, I just found out that I have everything the game
should like but doesn't - win2k, nvidia card and SB live. All the issues
that Activision is still looking for an answer, I have them all.

Second, about those Event Viewer errors, I still can't get rid of them, but
they don't seem to have any impact to my system. I did more "homework" on
those error messages, I come out a new "guess", if anyone has similar
experience, or any explaination/solution, please let me know. Here is what I
think the problems might be:
I remember that when I was working on a big tower machine with A7V and SCSI
RAID card & win2k, there was a disk controller error reported by Event
Viewer I couldn't get rid of too, after some time, the error dispeared
itself, I was told by tech support of our A7V supplier, that the error might
be onboard ATA100 controller, when it's not in use, the ATA100 BIOS is not
loaded, but there is no way to disable it, so Disk controller error may
related to that. So my Event Viewer may reported the same thing.

Does anyone else think this is possible?
