MusicMatch Jukebox. Quick, simple and have never burned a coaster using this app.

Somehow my Windows XP has decided that BMP is the default image format. If I receive a mail with an image contained - an animated gif for example, if I save the image I am only offered ' save as BMP '. Of course the animation no longer works... even if I rename the file to .gif I have noticed that some images on the web which are definitely .jpg images are also saved as 'untitled.bmp ' Any idea how to fix this ?

Thanks..tried that but no luck. If I go ' save as ' it only offers me untitled.bmp If I force it to save as pic.gif ( an animated gif ) it does allow me to save in this format, but on opening the file it is a static image, and does not animate. It's not a biggie, just seems rather an odd glitch?

I never know what the bar is called, but it is the one with Name, Size, Modified etc... Is it possible to set the options for this to include all sub-directories? I have an MP3 directory with a zillion subs - I can configure each individual folder to include Artist, Album, Genre etc but cant figure how to do it all-in-one ....

54 views and no solution - it's either a bug or was never a feature.

I've always wondered why this option is not available - perhaps I've just overlooked something:- Is there a way to add a new Folder / Sub-Folder without having to highlight a Folder, then go File, New Folder ? I would like to right-click a folder and have a New Folder option.

Ah! The trick is to right-click some empty space, not to right-click a folder.

Have reinstalled from scratch and am still unable to make this happen. Is it just me or is nobody able to set the folder format which includes all Sub-Folders?

Thanks - I tried that but it refuses to do it on my pc. It only affects the top folder even though I have apply to sub-folders checked. I havent rebooted but it shouldnt need that. Perhaps a fiddle somewhere in the registry ?

I've had this as well, but a reboot always fixes it.

Win 2K Pro IE6 Matrox G400 max Receiving this message all of a sudden: "Beta Direct Draw expired" - reinstalled latest version of Direct X which didnt help. Seems to be little info on the web re this error message - does anyone know the cause and/or cure ? I've just reinstalled Win 2k a week or so ago and really don't want to start all over !

In 98, or ME you can go to drive properties and tick the drive as removeable. I have hard drives in hot swappable caddies -if I go to add remove hardware in Win2k, there is no option for making a drive removeable. However, if I pull the drive out while the system is running, I get an advice saying that I need to set it ' ejectable' . Am I missing something?

Quote: Originally posted by nova: ======================================= .... I suggest reinstalling Win2000 (and Win98) and repartitioning like this (this is about my preferred way to set up pure Win2000 machines or mixed Win2000/Win98 machines): {large cuts} C: C: 1 primary NTFS 0.5 to 1GB Only the boot files of both OSes are here, Please don't hesitate to contact me if something's unclear or you want to know something else! nova. I'm going to take you up on that offer Nova... as my last hope before I lose it completely Here we go, but firstly am I correct in that there is a typo in your message - surely the shared C drive boot sector for both OS's above should be FAT32 and not NTFS? I have the following: 20 gig HD 1 - Primary Master 20 gig HD 2 - Secondary Master Removeable HD ( HD is in a ' tray' which slides in the front of the pc and can hold one of a number of my spare hard drives )- so no ' specific ' size here but always in FAT32 - Primary Slave Cd-Rom - Secondary slave I followed the concept of your advice although not quite to the letter - I never learn because it's still a mess. Made:- Primary Master - C - 1 GIG for boot D - 2 Gig for Win98SE install E- 2 GIG for Win2k install F - 15 gig for apps. Footnote:- I told CMOS I didnt have a secondary master or primary slave. On partitioning the 20gig drive it rolled out the drive letter assignments in order. So far so good. Addendum:- Strange thing, is when I booted into Windows98 , Windows Explorer recognised and delivered the file contents in the Secondary Master which I told CMOS didnt exist. It even assigned them drive letters G & H (20 gig is partitioned 50/50 - fat32) Sigh.... moving on.. Then.... I formatted D into NTFS.... and installed Win2k. Oh dear. No problems with the Win2k system and I could change the drive letters as I wished. However, booting into 98 - of course it now didnt see D (ntfs win2k) , so made my E to D, F to E and naturally confused the hell out of my shortcuts. Tonight I tried telling CMOS that I have a secondary Master and Primary slave - and the result was cant find win.com etc because now it was allocating C to Primary Master & D to Secondary Master etc etc... The one deviation from your advice was to put 98 and Win2k on the same drive but in different partitions. If I now start all over with a boot sector on Primary, followed by Win2k in next partition and install Win98 on first partition on Secondary Master am I going to be any better off? It seems I am doomed every way - in win98 I'm in trouble if I do not shove in my removeable HD , the Primary slave. What I want ...is a way that apart from the installion partition drive allocation for 98 and 2k - that my apps on all the other partitions will have the same address in both OS's. Now if 98 does not recognise the D in ntfs how on earth is this possible? Would it help if I installed Win2k on fat32? Right, after all this I am thoroughly confused. I hope some of it made some sense. PS: I would bring my pc round for you to play with , but I'm in Cape Town so it's not quite feasible.

Is there any entry-level video capture card that absolutely 100% works in Win2k guaranteed ? My Aimslab VExtreme does not - NOR does my new Miro PCTV Rave ( believe me I have tried..) All I want to do is hook up my videocam for CU-SeeMe type apps - no TV needed. If it matters I have a Matrox Millenium G400 Max on an Intel P3 450 Asus MB.

Ok, seeing as nobody has asked.... where does one find the beta ?

Can anyone confirm that the HP CD-Writer Plus 9310i is Win2K compatible? It is not listed on the driver page on HP.Com but from what I can gather is the same as the 9210i but with an EIDE interface.

3. Find the keys that say: MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server I dont have these anywhere in my registry ?

Equine bondage??! Now that is one very weird fetish. Back to Win2k stuff.

I am one of the unfortunates.... but perhaps someone will get a clue from this:- On boot-up, with no apps running except Creative Launcher, the DEVLDR32.EXE process is running 3 times?!

How very odd - this happened to me today as well!

It's now past the promised ' mid-March ' release of SB Live Win2k drivers and not a byte. I wish I was surprised.
