I recomend Window Blinds from http://www.stardock.com/ It isnt free but it will give you all the skining features of XP in 2k,98 and ME.

Nevermind I reformated and installed 98, had some other games that didnt like 2k. I guess I will have to break down and purchase XP.

Anyone get this game working in Win2k pro.

Quote: Did you even bother do search the KB with the query term 'WINUP' as I recommended? Yes and nothing helped.

Quote: It's here, I found it with little effort, after searching with keyword 'WINUP' FYI. Nope not my problem. My problem is that Windows update always reports 0 updates. I have posted this on a dozen different forums and no one has been able to solve. I have had this issue on a few different machines, with various versions of windows.

I guess I am not searching for the right key words, because I have found nothing on Microsofts site.

Windows update always reports that there are 0 updates, in all categories, for my system. I before you even ask, as others have, no it isnt a pirated copy of 2000. I own my copy of 2000 pro. I have SP3 and SP1 IE6 installed, I installed both hoping to solve the problem. Has anyone else heard of this.

I read the article I can't believe they try to defend the hackers. ;(

side note: If you buy it at eb they are giving away The Thing on DVD even if you didnt preorder. I run the game at 1024x768x32bit color. Preacher, do you have an LCD monitor? I have played the first few levels and so far I am hooked. It picks up where the movie left off and captures the atmosphere of the movie well. The monsters mutate from human to Thing in real time, and you never know who is a thing and who isnt. Just as in the movie the only way to kill Things is with fire, so you have to keep the flame thrower primed and ready. It's not a FPS, its a third person action/adventure, with a little Half Life tossed in. The graphics are pretty good and are based on the Quake 3 engine. So its a mix of return to castle wolfenstein and Jedi Outcast, graphics wise. Here are my system specs, sorry for not including them in my last post: P3@1ghz / 256mb ram / Geforce2 MX400 64mb vid ram / SB Audigy I am running Win2k pro with service pack 2, all the newest drivers, I have the Nvidia 29.42's not the new ones. If anyone has further questions let me know, and not just about The Thing, I have experience with many other games as well.

Just incase anyone was wondering, The Thing game runs great under Win2k.
