Hi,

Since i've installed my Pulsar card, XP detects about 20 PCI devices ...

Is anybody there who knows this problem ? There's no faq anymore on the Creamware site.

My config :
- MSI K8Neo 3
- Sempron 3400+
- 1GB RAM
- Geforce 6600GT on PCI express slot
- SATA HD no RAID

- None other PCI cards

I've installed the Scope 4 drivers and software.

when i take off the Pulsar card, no problem anymore.

thanx.

that's not normal, nor is it likely the card...normally, xp should detect about 5 or so devices....

it seems to be a problem with ACPI functions.

Does anybody there works fine on a recent configuration with ACPI deactivated ?

Is there an easy way to deactivate it, or as i suppose, i need to install XP again ?

acpi works just fine. i've installed many computers acpi. that said, mine are standard pc. yes, you should reinstall. you CAN go to the device manager and "reinstall the driver" for the acpi hal and then choose standard pc from the list. this is not recommended, however. it may lead to instability.
