Skywise

Reinstall the drivers. And remember to install DVDstation. The hollywood plus doesn't work with win2ks native dvd player.

ME still uses the 9X core, so no SMP support...

AMD says unofficially the chipset will be available 4th quarter. This means we probably won't see a board for sale until maybe early next year.

hmmm..sounds to me like you have a smp bug with the live... try removing one of the processors and change to an ordinary HAL. If you don't know how check the posts on ACPI. Creative always did have problems with multiprocessor systems...

I've been having the same problems. ASUS P3C-D with dual 600E. If I stress test the system using distributed.net, then run UT the computer just reboots after a short while. I hit about 48C on both processors. In win98se UT gpfs instead, so I think it's a heat problem.

Used ME for a couple of months...then went back to 98SE. At least if some of my files are corrupt and I can't get into windoze I can use dos scandisk to repair the system. Not so with ME. Also ME has a horrible "backup/recovery" system that sounds nice on paper, but in reality just eats up space and slows down your system. I eventually figured out to turn it off, but by then it had taken up almost 2 gigs of my HD. I actually see no point in ME. If I'm not going to use dos, then I'll use win2k. If I need dos/backwards compatibility that win2k doesn't offer I'll use 98. ME can't be used, and that means it's totally useless for my purposes.

what sound card you have btw?

no floppy problems here...but they do cause both UT and Q3 to hang on my dual box if 3d sound is enabled...

I was wondering where the heck that control panel applet went to... Anyway A3d 3.0 crashes q3 in smp mode so do not try this. I'll probably sell my card and get a creative - just wish they could make a card with digital out that doesn't resample the digital I/O and ruins it all....

If you're running NTFS then you'll have to convert this to fat16/32 first. After that the easiest way is to add entries to the boot.ini and copy (not use sys.com) the win95 system files (msdos.sys+command.com) to the root dir of your C: drive. btw it's just "C:\" not "C:\windows". If you just add the entry you should be able to choose it at boot without screwing up the rest of the system. This is the "safe" way. On the other hand if you have win95 on cd you could just use a boot disk with cdrom drivers on it and just install win95 to c:\windows. The setup program should (hopefully)automagically add entries to the boot.ini. You have to have fat16 for this to work. Note: this worked in win98, but I'm not sure this will work with win95 setup. Make an NT bootdisk first just in case.

Hey..let's face it guys: All sound cards suck in win2k. Neither Creative nor Aureal have proper drivers out with full hw acceleration for all features.

Now with Aureal going bankrupt it looks like I'll never see a driver update again. And there's still a huge problem: win2k+smp+q3+a3d 3.0+vortex2. Causes my q3 to hang. Guess I'll have to look at a new card. Now if only Creative could make a card with digital out that actually works...

Anyone get this to work properly under win2k?? The original game itself that is - not with a cracked exe..

If it ain't at Microsofts site it ain't available...
