So I updated latest drivers for everything (VGA driver, logitech setpoint manager, etc.) Everything was working fine until I got in BF2142. Right after the game finished loading, both mouse and keyboard became inactive. None of the button would work and the mouse cursor would not move, period. I could only Alt+Tab or bring up the task manager bar. Everything was working fine while I was in the general game menu but just after joining a server and complete loading, everything just stop working. I joined many servers and the same problem occurred. I disabled Setpoint and the same problem happened. Disabling SLI while both cards in the machine produced the same problem. If only one card was plugged in, everything was working just fine. I tried w/ and w/o rivatuner, same problem. The x-fi card was running just fine, too. WTF??? Any help would be appreciated! TIA!

Uninstall nTune if it's installed. What exact version of Forceware are you running?
I am using Window XP 64 bit OS. Forceware is 158.22. Last time I used two differently overclocked cards and the screen would flicker like crazy but the mouse and keyboard would work just fine. Will try silent-circuit's solution and will report back soon.

Try these. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13250
Also, your cards /are/ running the same speeds now, right?

Yup, as I said, I use to have 64bit XP, BF2142 and BF2 did the same exact thing. That and SLI not working right in HL2 and CSS made me go back to my 32bit install of XP. Oddly enough, it works fine in Vista 64. As for the problem, I didn't find a real fix until I went back to my 32bit install of XP... It's a shame I really liked 64bit XP.
Dice made the game.
Now strange enough I went back to just one card and the same problem return.
Did you read what I posted? It maybe a conflict between BF2142 and XP 64bit. Back when I had XP 64 I did everything in the world to try and fix it. Nothing worked. That only thing that I could do was go back to XP 32. As I said before, it sucked because I liked 64bit XP.
I was getting all kinds of problems now w/ BSOD. Fudge it, I reformatted the drive...sigh...I made sure to partition 50GB for XP 32 bit or Vista along with my XP 64. Thanks to everyone's help. Now does anyone know how to set up SLI? (ie: install both cards and then drivers, one card first and driver and another card, etc)
