Hello,
     I have recently upgraded from Win98 to Win2k professional, and have
installed LiveWare 3.0 for Win2k.  CD music, MP3s and other games sound
perfectly.  I have encountered one problem with EverQuest, however.
    I have noticed that the midi music is *very* garbled, and not as clean
sounding as it was in Win98.  This is most notable when I select the server
I wish to play on, and the splash screen before character selection comes
up.  Oddly, the rest of the sounds in EverQuest sound perfectly.  It is just
the music that appears to be problematic.
    Are there any settings that need to be changed in LiveWare, or shall I
just wait for new drivers?  Here is my configuration:

Win2k Pro with Service Pack 1
Abit BX6v2 with latest Bios
PIII 450
256mb PC100
CL TNT2U
Sblive! X-Gamer

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

-Greg

Win2k sucks for games.  It IS NOT an upgrade to win98, but is rather
an upgrade to win NT which is a workstation OS.  It has so many driver
issues that it is not worth it for gamers in general.
