Well, I have enjoyed the comments and can't help asking the question. Just what is different within Millenium. I installed it on a lab machine and was totally unimpressed. It appeared to be Wintendo with the 2000 desktop. What are the "stability changes" that have be put into place? Several other comments. One poster mentioned Professional as support for W2K being a consumer OS. I don't agree. In my humble opinion, MS had to release an upgrade for Workstation that can unlock the full potential of Active Directory. Before you guys get out the matches and napalm, I love W2K and have been running it at home and at work since May. I've installed full W2K domains running AD and Intellimirror. I still keep a running copy of W95 for the few games I play, simply because I use W2K as my main OS and don't have the time and the skill to play around with the drivers to make them work. I love W2K. Further, I finished up a Dual Processor install today, Abit board w/Celeron 433's. The machine rocks! It was not an easy install. Most of my issues revolved around getting the hardware right. Which leads to my final comment. 80-90 percent of the problems that people have with NT and W2K come from folks buying hardware, trying to install the stuff, encountering problems, and then stopping to try to read or research the problem. My recommendation is to spend time reading and researching, then drop the cash with a full awareness of the challenges that you might encounter. My $.02...Happy New Millenium everyone!

I had similar problems, my board ASUS P2B-F needed a bios revision, now 1010, which cured com port problem. Word tonite from Windrivers.com, that 1011 is now posted on ASUS' German website. Check out a Bios revision, I think this will cure your problem.

I'm curious, are you using the Device manager to upgrade your drivers? I have found this to be the only sure way to avoid the reinstall problem! Select the component to upgrade, then use the "upgrade driver" button. This should alleviate the autodetection problem....

I've been watching for it, I frequent BetaNews and DemoNews. One of the sites spoke of an immenent final release of DX7, will post when available....

Ditto with RC2, I am running plain V770 with Live Value. I had trouble even detecting hardware. I upgraded to new NVidia driver and hardware detected, but game will not run. My suspicion is DirectX version. I am awaiting the upgrade of DX 7, due out any day. This should clear up problems. Any thoughts?
