    The best Defrag-Program?!

    best defragger for 2k is diskeeper why? Because executive software released a patch (now off the market) that accidentally upgrades the limited win2k pro version to full retail. Also the features in diskeeper are great, best program ive ever used.

    Whistler 2276?

    both of you shut the f.uck up. I don't care if you both 40 or 12, get along or you will both be banned. The users of this board do not need to deal with spam and s.hitty squabbles. I come here to help people and express my ideas on NT and whatever else not so i can read 'my daddy can beat up your daddy' or 'Billy threw sand in my eyes and wrecked by sand castle' grow up both of you. If you have differences of opinion express them politely not in bashing each other.

    jerky mouse movements in 2276

    it happens in games pretty much all the time in the OS once in a while, not a big deal though. I wish we could send f-in bug reports to M$ without having a beta ID, there are a few problems with window sizing in 2276 also.

    jerky mouse movements in 2276

    Yes intellipoint didnt do crap didnt fix it. So im banking on the Dx in Whistler 2276 because its fine in 2257 which doesnt use the same directX build.

    Hibernate? where did it go?

    well if there is no hibernate on there then your PC probably doesnt support it.

    jerky mouse movements in 2276

    nah its not my vid card drivers. Im using the 6.34 refs and they worked fine in 2257. There seems to be some mouse lagginess in 2276pro or poor USB drivers im not sure since i dont have my PS/2 adapter for my mouse (M$ Intellimouse explorer) also my mouse works fine in 2257. I think its the DX 8 version they have on 2276. I put on DX 8 RC0 and it was a little better but the mouse is still jerky when i move it over certain icons (like in the mouse/printers part of control panel) and of course the CS problem. So probably some dumb DirectInput problem on it bleh! Who knows i still have 2257 personal on my other drive so when i need to play CS i can just go to that install. Besides beta hopefully will be out soon.

    Unreal Tournament freezing in win2k

    hmm i have heard the latest UT patch has some problems but i mightve heard wrong. Try doing a clean install then using varias patches to see if they all freeze up and if they do then try running in a different mode. Also check out the UT tweak guide at http://www.tweak3d.com What mode were you running in OpenGL or D3D you didnt say.
  12. you also have to remember system file protection plays a roll in here too, the more and more things you install the more and more files get protected by the system so everyboot its replacing those files that were 'replaced by unrecognized versions' which makes the system take longer to boot. Do what everyone else with 2k does leave it on, that way you dont have to worry about boot times and it doesnt end up eating resources like 9x/ME does when you leave em running.

    Need Suggestions on 3D card For W2K

    well the best card out there for the higher-end buyer is the GeForce 2 Ultra, if your looking for a good card that is fast but won't cost you 3-500 dollars i would get the Leadtek Winfast GF 2 MX, its around $150 US, and already comes with a heat sink and fan on it.

    Whistler 2276?

    Yeah SURE you werent. Its OK we dont need to see your TOP SECRET screen shots of 2281. Hey guess what guys I have build 2287 BUT IM NOT POSTING ANY SS because ITS SO TOP SECRET THAT NOBODY KNOWS I HAVE IT. *wink* *wink* BTW I really am Bill Gates I just havent told anyone and jdulmage is really Steve Balmer. Dont tell anyone though or else we will get hammered for beta's of everything not to mention the requests for our .plans on MS.

    Hibernate? where did it go?

    its probably caused by a driver you installed. Or did uninstall right. I had the same problem with my RealMagic Hollywood+ decoder card when i got the new drivers. So if you recently installed a driver set do a FULL uninstall and a clean reinstall.

    CS and W2k problem...Help!!

    whoah easy trigger. I think the best way to go about solving the problem is to do a reinstall of HL and then to patch to the lastest version then d/l CS again. Its very well known that the HL engine has complications with win2k but dont look at valve to fix it or at least contact valve and see what they can do or if they know about it.

    Whistler 2276?

    then whats the point of saying you have some so you can look cool because you have 2281 or because you dont and want to look like your cool and do.

    LW 3 for WinME out

    Creative actually released something within a good time period, ME has been out for how long (on the market no RTM'd) like a month if less and they already have LW for it. Maybe creative is getting better but i wouldnt bank on it. anyway http://www.sblive.com has the drivers.

    Looking for opinionated answers

    the best 3rd party program is PowerQuests Drive Image 4 pro. It kicks the crap out of ghost because ghost wont let you burn directly to CD-R/W and access files. Plus more stuff. So if you can "aquire" it i recommend PQ Drive Image 4 pro
