I find Manual assing IP work's far better, & it good idea to turn off the DHCP server.

boot in to Win98 dos prompt or a floppy boot disk. Make sure both sys.com & fdisk.exe is on the floppy disk. from harddisk <tpye> fdisk /mbr from flppy disk <tpye> fdisk /mbr c: then from floppy or harddisk <tpye> sys c: all done [This message has been edited by SHS (edited 27 March 2000).]

the only thing I can think of is check the com port i/o & irq address in the Control Panel all so try manual set it up. I don't this will help but may check it out go in to the bios make sure PnP OS = NO.

so how you getting here, Thur Win98 or Linux ?.

Is modem power on all time ?.

Symantec TalkWorks Pro 2 is well know for this under Wiondows2000 you should get a newer ver of it. Have you play any OpenGL Games ?, OpenGL screen savers "GPF's" this been very well with every video out there. Your monitor settings has it owen tab in the display properties. It didn't matter if a Nvidia,Voodoo3,ATI,Matrox,S3 what you want very solid 2D & High Output 2D it just happing they all support 3D to. I just like point out you that no video card is 100% compatible with ever system out there. Under WinNT or Windows2000 The very best Solid 2D & High Output 2D are Best----------------- to ----------------Worst Matrox,Voodoo3,Nvidia,ATI,S3,3DLabs,Trident,SiS Direct3D "Windows2000 Only" Best----------------- to ----------------Worst Nvidia,Voodoo3,Matrox,ATI,S3,3DLabs,Trident,SiS [This message has been edited by SHS (edited 26 March 2000).]

That what I'am useing rigth now DrSchmoe it is the ATI Win2K Enhancements Beta Drivers, that ture 3DMark 2000 dose crash hehe you find so dose few other card as well. Let not forget Voodoo4/5. Hot on my list is a Voodoo5500. Why that long "12/15/2000" so I'am tolled.

Let stop flame war here & now, Do I make my self very clear, After this is hardware discussion forum. jdulmage it dosen't matter what you think of Windows2000 if your not happy with it do us a big favor & go back Win98. Min of us are happy with Windows2000 even if we can't run even game or app we like to we like to, so we have to lean to live with out it.

I see nothing wrong with ATI Win2K drivers on the other hand there Win98 do blow. cputnam the real questions is what all in your system "list all your hardware".

I your Video drivers

Q: What Kernel will Windows "Whistler" use? A: Base on NT Kernel just like Windows2000 is. Q: What is Windows "Whistler"? A: Windows Whistler is the codename for the first joint business/consumer version of Windows. Q: What will be new in Windows "Whistler"? A: Little is really known, but if it heads the way that Whistler was going to then it will be much more HTML based than any other operating system. Q: Has testing of Windows "Whistler" begun? A: Only internally Q: When is Windows "Whistler" due to be finally released? A: No date has been announced but it is expected sometime at the end of 2001. Q: What about my Applications? A: By the time Whistler come out 95% of Applications should work just fine if they where designed for Windows2000 other then that you may need a patch. Q: If I am a games player, should I go for Windows 2000 or wait for "Whistler"? A: Windows "Whistler" simple designed for both the business & consumer thus is more adept at games playing. I like to point out to you that a lot older games use mix 16 & 32bit code in some case even dos code as well "Like MechWarrior2", In way if was not designed to run under a NT Kernel it may or may not work. Q: What about Game that work now in Windows200? A: Defiantly will work in Whistler to. Q: Will Dos base games work as will as well? A: NO "Windows2000 & Whistler are a pure build 32bit OS". Q: Will older 16bit games work? A: Somee will & Some will not.

Have you check Event Viewer

did you try 1024x768 16 bit color ?.

Have try disable the PS/2 mouse in the Device Manager & run only UBS mouse to see how that work's ?. it any case it not a good idea to have 2 mouse any way. [This message has been edited by SHS (edited 25 March 2000).]

Are you runing two mouse at the sametime ?. Never Ever buy a no name brand mouse, that frist rule in my book.

Oh may as anyone even try a clean install of Windows2000 then install SBLive Win2K Live!ware before any other drivers update or Apps, That way you will know for sure if it the drivers & not something else. Hmm Funny thing is KAOS my bother junk Compaq has VIA & he has SBLive X-Gamer & it work's just fine for him.

Oh you mean this one hehe. -------------------------- I used to work in a computer store and one day we had a gentleman call in with a smoking power supply. The service representative was having a bit of trouble convincing this guy that he had a hardware problem. Service Rep: Sir, something has burned within your power supply. Customer: I bet that there is some command that I can put into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file that will take care of this. Service Rep: There is nothing that software can do to help you with this problem. Customer: I know that there is something I can put in... some command... maybe it should go into the CONFIG.SYS or the WIN.INI [After a few minutes of going round and round] Service Rep: Okay, I am not supposed to tell anyone this but there is a hidden command in some versions of DOS that you can use. I want you to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and add the last line as C:\DOS\NOSMOKE and reboot your computer. [Customer does this] Customer: It is still smoking. Service Rep: I guess you'll need to call Microsoft and ask them for a patch for the NOSMOKE.EXE. [The customer then hung up. We thought that we had heard the last of this guy. But NO; he calls back four hours later!] Service Rep: Hello, Sir, how is your computer? Customer: I called Microsoft and they said that my power supply is incompatible with their NOSMOKE.EXE and that I need to get a new one. I was wondering when I can have that done and how much it will cost....
