Why not run the OS/2 version from Archive.org?

So I cleaned up my system, re-applied thermal paste to the CPU and I have the same issue, even after swapping out my GPU. I previously had a FirePro 2270.

Current setup:
Xeon 2.79 GHZ
ATI FirePro W5000 - DVI connection

Still can't play YouTube video that Martin linked, the Tears of Steel video plays fine for 30s and then start getting glitchy. I have a Samsung SSD for the boot drive.

Local videos appear to work just fine. I have a 1Gb connection, so I think I can rule out a slow connection. For $hit$ and giggles I pulled the heatsink off the CPU, and surprise surprise the thermal paste had dried up.. going to fix that and see if it helps. This system has had other random issues. I checked the RAM, and it passes all tests. Will get back here in a few days after some more testing. I can play the 'Tears of Steel' video but it starts getting choppy after 30 seconds every time. The YouTube video does not play at all.

Hey all,

I am trying to use VLC 3.0.19 to stream some IPTV. It loads the playlist and starts streaming but crashes and locks the system after a few seconds, has anyone else had this issue?

ArcaOS works pretty well with my Asus Crosshair V. Has PS/2 but it is now over 10 years old and is AMD.

The author of ZOC gave me a free reg code for asking. I use it when I connect to serial devices on Arca.

Well, that solves it. I plugged the Logitech receiver directly into the computer, and it works. When I tried that with the Evoluent receiver, it did not work. My KVM is a Monoprice 4x1 Blackbird.

Interestingly enough, I plugged my old Logitech mouse (that worked on ArcaOS ) and it does the same thing. I ran lsusb with the Logitech dongle installed:

Bus 000 Device 007: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver

It doesn't work, maybe it's my KVM switch? I will open a ticket.

Yes, regular mouse is working. It's an Evoluent ergonomic mouse. Comes with a USB dongle. I have it on a KVM that I share with other machines. I'll get more info on it.

I finally got ArcaOS installed on a GPT-partitioned disk. My wireless mouse will not work. Works on macOS, Linux, RISC OS with no special drivers. Anyone run into this issue before?

I've been building my collection slowly. Have gotten HyperAccess v6 and v7, Describe, DB2. Warp v3 (I wonder what I ever did with my v3 that I got brand new in the 90s!) and v4. Internet Archive has a bunch of ISOs. Also books.. lots of books.

http://www.os2voice.org/ seems to load fine now, (Firefox 45.9.0).

I'm specifically getting an Error 500 when trying to access the site.
