ThC 129

i like the skinability (if thats a word heh), of it and i look forward to making my own skins and shell looks for it. I like litestep and other programs like that but i dont feel like taking the time to learn it all, even though it would be cool. I just wish that M$ would make the kernal and other companies would make the GUI for it like linux has.

yeah. Ive been on this forum for over a year now, or close to it. Ive seen this forum grow from just a site to fix those damn SB Live! cards (which creative still needs to fix the stupid incompatabilities with. Maybe by time Blackcomb goes final they might) to a legitimate w2k discussion forum. Im glad to be a part of this and glad to see all those people helping each other out even if they didnt pay for the OS.

yes but this isnt an overclocking forum its an NTCOMAPTIBLE ONE. You said your system was overclocked and wouldnt boot 2k, ronin simply said to not overclock it. Yes its an answer not the one your looking for but still doesnt merit the responses you gave to him. I just want everyone to be cool to each other and not go fly off the handle when someone gives you an obvious solution to the problem your having. Even if its not the one your looking for its still an answer.

yeah most people ive talked to recommend setting up a new windows install on a different partition or drive due to the fact that conflicting programs files can be a real bitch. I currently duel boot winwhistler and win2k keeping one on my C: and the other on my D:

oXide, I got an idea if you keep flaming people on this board i and others will write a letter to SHS asking him to ban you. This is a help board not a flame other users because your stuff isnt working right board. Please be courtious to other users or dont post. We do this to help you not to get bitched at by you. So all im asking is treat the other posters with some respect and dignity.

oops a link would help http://www.tweaktown.com/downloads/dxun.zip

here ya go guys dx 8 uninstaller just found it today. Havent tested it though Quote: taken from tweaktown Saturday 9th September -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DX8 Beta Uninstaller (By Cameron Wilmot - 10:32pm AEST) If you were unlucky enough to install a version of Directx 8 Beta (such as build 85) which expires at a certain date after installation you will be faced with just about every DX error in the book. It's shocking when you really want to listen to some music or load up a game... Instead of formatting your HDD to get rid of DX8 Beta you can Download The DX Uninstaller Here which will cure all your problems in a matter of minutes!

i use innoculate never had a problem with it and they come out with virii definitions regularly too. http://www.cai.com/antivirus

lol, too bad i missed the original

hehe, damn fine print gets ya everytime.

if you want to change your monitor go to hardware manager right click on the monitor hit properties then hit update driver. As for driver the Det drivers have never given me a problem.

you have to install the gay 3dFX drivers then install the hacked NT4 ones to get D3D working.

its easy because windows doesnt like letting go of the properties of the folder until all the windows are closed. Try doing a refresh then deleting it. If it still comes up then a file is being used within the folder

if you want to display the hidden add/remove programs from windows you have to edit the sysoc.inf to allow you to. I know i have a hacked version that allows you to remove crap like games, and the other junk that gets installed when you dont want it. e-mail me or ICQ me for the file.

personal firewalls didnt like Whistler very well. Nor does diskeeper. I asked diskeeper when they would have a whistler compatible version but they dont know.

yeah can someone e-mail me the link. psheehan@memphis.edu thx

thats cool personally im going to wait for the beta before i put another whistler build on. The Alphas arent stable enough to run everything and stay up plus some of the wierd little things the alphas do get annoying too. Otherwise its a great OS people, if you like Win2k you should go out and try whistler thats better than 2k even in the alpha.

i had it installed a while back and wasnt having probs. Hmm could your active list be corrupted?

most things are shipped with 9x drivers why? Easy 2k is for "business" use (or as we have been told time and again ) and most users have a 9x kernal on their system. Why dont you go to like compUSA and pay 500 dollars for them to install the drivers for ya. If downloading drivers and making them work is too much trouble maybe you can go buy a MAC.

anyone remember that one guy that was in here that said in order to get all your games to run you have to install DOS on windows 2000? NOW THAT WAS FUNNY

3dmark 2000 tests on whistler with det 3 drivers are real high higher than 98 and 2k

welcome let me explain the rules #1. No complaining about how AOL doesnt work #2. Its ok to talk about warez you just cant post direct links #3. Respect other users unless they use AOL

GayOL users arent welcome here anyway. They should stick to their nice cosy GayOL interface where its nice and secure from the dangers of the internet.

yes the value is pretty much the same card but doesnt have stuff like the live! Drive that the platnuim does, and probably a few other small things, im sure creatives website will have some info on it.

i would say get the SB Live! MP3+, it comes with some crap that is supposed to be for mp3s, but the live! is a good card and i havent hard probs with it.
