It installed and works fine on my SB Live Value. Only thing I don't like is the fact that for soem reason the CD Digital control has disappeared. I was using this with my Hollywood+ in Win98 and when I had the LW3 with modified drivers installed. So, does anyone know how to get the CD Digital Audio port enabled? Brendan

Thanks many millions of times to Dell for the drivers. Now I'm off to install Win2k! Only reason I had Win98 on was because of the lack of Directsound with the modified Liveware 3 drivers. Hehehe looked at the mirrors, and Bray, Ireland is there. That's less that 50 mile sfrom where I live. Brendan

I never actually saw that message before, but an easy way to check to see if it is actually using the 2 processors or not, is to run Direct X Diagnostics. C:\Winnt\System32\dxdiag.exe is the default location. For processor it should say something like Intel Celeron (2 CPUs) 600MHz MMX. If it doesn't have the "2 CPUs" bit in it, then try the following: Go into the device manager, dbbl click on Computer. It should say something like MPS Uniprocessor PC. Double click on that, and go to the Update Driver Wizard. Select View a list of drivers for this device, and show all drivers. Select MPS Multiprocessor PC, and click Next. It should copy a few files, and then want to restart. Restart, and if you do have 2 processors it should start up in dual mode. Sorry for the briefish instructions, but I'm not near my dual win2k computer at the moment to get exactly what to do... Brendan [This message has been edited by bkehoe (edited 05 February 2000).]

I've got 2 Celeron 400s on this board. They will run at anything up to 600MHz at a 2.1 volt core. You should at least be able to select the 93MHz BUS, which has a 1/3PCI divider, and will give you 558MHz. Brendan

As in the Matrix, this driver is the one. Best I've seen so far anyway. Works fine on my Dual Celeron 600 in BP-6 with TNT2. Brendan

Yep P!!! is the problem, especially Coppermines. I got liveware 3 working on about half the normal P!!! systems I've put win2k on, but none of the computers that had the new 'Coppermine' chip in them. Brendan

Hi, I have this problem with Win2k and Win Millenium Beta 2. I installed Win2k onto my Gateway Solo 2500 PII laptop with no hiccups. Full ACPI was detected. "Great!" I said to myself, but the smile wasn't to last. I have an Ericsson SH-888 mobile phone, with infra-red port so that it works as an infra-red modem. My father has a Nokia 7110 which also has an infra-red port. In Win2k, I couldn't find any way to add a Virtual COM port to allow these phones to work. Win2k detects the device as the "Infrared" icon comes up in the taskbar, but that is as far as it gets. The same thing (exactly) happens with Win Millenium Beta2. I thought that Millenium would have been the same as Win98. Any suggestions? Brendan

You mean - What WAS so cool about this forum. The search function has been missing for a few days now. Or else I'm blind. Brendan

ICQ 99b works fine for me, but ICQ 2000 doesn't. It starts up, and the flower beside connecting animates, but then, a rare Win2k crash occurs. Quote: ICQ.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created Anyone know how to fix this? Brendan

It works, but if I were you I spend the few extra $€£ on the Professional Edition. I've played both of them, and own the PRO release. Both work fine on Win2k with the beta TNT2 drivers. Brendan

Hello, Has anyone any help on getting a Cinemaster Decoder card to work? Win2k 2195 detects it as Cinemaster C WDM Main Driver and Cinemaster C WDM DVD Driver. When I go to run the Win2k DVD Player, the following error comes up: While setting up DVD-video playback, it was found that Video cannot be shown on the computer monitor because of one of the following reasons: a) Low video memory. Please try using a lower resolution and/or colors. Another application is currently using the necessary display resources. c) The display driver is incompatible with the DVD Decoder. Obtain a driver update. If I click Yes to continue, all that I get is sound. This set-up works fine in Win98. Other info is that the graphics card is a 16MB TNT, and Aureal Vortex2 sound card. This error occurs with the stock display drivers and the 3.53 drivers. Brendan

I had the same problem in build 2195 with a Canon BJC 2000. 2in2k has no drivers for this printer that are called 2000. Ii messed round, and then I found that the BJC-2000 will work with any of the canon drivers for the BJC 210, 240, 250, e.t.c. So in Win2k I just added a Canon BJC250 printer and off went the BJC-2000 printing perfectly. Brendan

Guess not everyone has heard of Distributed.net's RC5 contest after it's 2 years of running. start at www.distributed.net . I'm on the SysOpt team - www.sysopt.com/rc5team.html - those pages explain it better. Also, and addition - the dnet RC5 client uses 100% of the free CPU cycles, so that is why I was referring to it as it heats up processors. Brendan

Seems to be just part of the ACPI feature. The same happens in modern laptops. E.G. my Gateway Solo laptop's fan will come on when I run RC5 on it, while it usually stays off if RC5 isn't run. I don't know how you could keep the fan on, other than making the processor run hot by playing a game or running RC5, CSC, e.t.c. Brendan

Works fine for me in RC3, but I didn't notice any differences. Brendan.

Hello, I have an unsupported device in build 2183. It is a satellite card, and Win2k just detects it as a network adapter. I have NT4 and Win9x drivers for it, and I was wondering if there is any way to get it to work by hacking these drivers like Anthony's Liveware3 run.cmd program. The company tells me that they will not release drivers till Win2k is launched in the shops. Brendan

I run my Athlons at rated speeds (well that is only because of the lack of easy overclocking), but overclock any TNT2 that comes my way and every Celeron and P!!!. I have my P!!! 500 running at 560MHz! Brendan

rrr, double post... [This message has been edited by bkehoe (edited 10-12-1999).]

While installing Win2k RC3 on one of my systems with a MSI-6167 board (Athlon 550) I got memory errors also. It worked fine on the Athlon 600 with the same board, but different system, so I messed around in the BIOS for a while. I decided to clock the memory back to, I think, CAS AND TAS 3. The 600 has PC-133 SDRAM, while the 550 had PC-100 RAM, and clocking the ram back to default fixed the problem.. Brendan

Hi, Tried the NT4 drivers, but win2k doesn't even see them. It sees the win98 drivers, installs them, but then complains about a bad INF file. Brendan

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has succeded in getting the Europe Online satellite internet service to work in Windows 2000? Also, I was wondering if anyone succeded in getting the Pentamedia Pent@NET reciever card to work - certified by Europe Online, but the site only says drivers for Win9x and NT, and Linux before year end. If these don't work it'll be back to win98 se, unless I can get a hold of a cheap computer and set it up as server with Win98 ICS. Brendan

Hi, I have an Ericsson SH-888 mobile phone with a built in GSM modem and infra red port. With Win98 on my laptop it worked fine, but now with win2000 (RC3). Bringing the phone into range and win2k detects it and says SH-888 in range, but I have no way of adding the modem to the device manager, e.t.c. Anyone know how to do this. There doesn't seem to be any virtual com ports in win2k. Brendan

I too had problems in RC3 on a fresh install with the 3.56 drivers. Flight Sim98 would be garbled up half the time and dxdiag would say that AGP support was not available. Fly! wouldn't run at all. So I decided to do a re-install, and this time used the 3.53 drivers on the graphics card. No problems what so ever! Flight Sim was perfect, AGP support now recognised, e.t.c. I think that it is the 3.56 drivers that are at fault. I have UDMA-66 running fine on my MSI 6167 board, but yours has a different controller, but UDMA66 is supported in general. Everything is going fine since those problems. Got my Hauppauge WinTV-pci installed fine with their PAL drivers. Brendan

It's not a network card. It has a tuner system on it. http://www.pentamedia.com/ptnet.html says everything about the card. Brendan
