Haven't had much time to do stuff on it... but for whatever reason games that previously worked (SW Episode 1 Racer, Tank Racer, and a few more to name) will not launch at all now. I did add Crazy Taxi and it didn't launch but I brushed it off as probably having issues with 9x (I don't recall running the game on anything less than 2k or XP...)

Not sure who's the culprit here - I'm looking at the Audigy VxD drivers acting up (I swear, these Audigy cards sound so good yet the drivers seem a bigger royal pain in the ass than simply sticking a Live 5.1 and being done with it.) or something to do with the LAN card (as it was recently swapped from the RTL8139D to a 8169SC).

Aand not long after I found the culprit. Apparently if I launch Crazy Taxi the whole system crashes down. Rebooting and trying all the other games besides CT and they all work.
