Well (i hope i dont get shot for saying this) If your using the ***** Version (sorry,wash my mouth out with soap and water) then i had the same probs even in win 98 it would crash out so i whent into the folder where i installed the game, looked for the MILES folder the deleted the FULL contents of this folder but make sure you keep the folder there. now try it It will will work like a dream or YOUR money back Trust me ------------------ MAC

Not Gona comment on the SCSI subject but i have just brought a SB Live 1024 with the Desktop Theater 5.1 Digital speaker system and it works great, although i did buy the Digital I/O 2 card as well so i am going through the Digital DIN socket. I will say that there is a few featues missing from the Win 2000 Live!Ware which was in the win98 version, but we cant have it all, And if any of ya was thinking about purchasing the Desktop Theater 5.1 Digital it comes HIGHLY recomended by me. The matrix DVD is just out of this world when played through it. WIN WHISTLE YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT IT! ------------------ MAC

Well i have had Windows Whistle 2257 on my comp for 3 days now and am very impressed very well presented. Before the upgrade i was using Windows ME due to WIN 2k not playing Fifa 2000 (and i need fifa 2000 support) I will just say PLS STAY WELL CLEAR ON ME it is the worst peice of software ever made. BUT the good news is Fifa 2000 DOES Work with Windows Whistle and plays very well just like all the games i have tried. And quickly on the Firewall subject I have just purchased Lockdown 2000 PROFESSIONAL and it works 100% under Whistle and i will say its a great firewall too well worth the $150 i paid for it. SO HAPPY GAMING PEOPLE GET WHISTLE AT ALL COSTS ------------------ MAC

Grand Prix 3 works fantasticaly on Windows 2000 very smooth in fact alot smoother than Windows ME which i have on a dual boot with 2k so go out and buy it you will not regret it. by the way that is with a voodoo 5 5500 but my mate tested it on his voodoo 3 3000 and was great also. ------------------ MAC

I cannot say Piracy is o.k but the fact is nearly everyone does it say a neighbour buys a new PC with windows 98 installed on it, and next door go around and see this PC oh they say (it is a nice story bare with me) you have got windows 98 can we pls borrow it to put on our computer, of course you can they say, so there you have it a ordinary family have committed Piracy they have broke the law whether they just lend it out or copy it same thing they are criminals who cares Microsoft have bigger fish to fry like multi million dollar companys ripping Microsoft off for £1000's of pounds they dont really care about this. Well i actually downloaded windows 2000 FINAL from the net but now i have actually brought it o.k i have not paid £400 etc for it i paid £99 and yes it is all above board manuals authenticity etc got it from a mate with his own computer business and it is the FULL 1 not the upgrade so there you have it we are all criminals oh yeah i have made 3 or 4 copies of it already but hey who cares! ------------------ MAC

FU*K EA they are by far the worst games developer company about, they ripp us off time and time again releasing the same game every year (or 3 times a year) with a new name or an extra number Fifa 99 Fifa 2000 etc etc o.k i have just played superbike world Championship 2000 and yes it looks stunning and plays stunning but could EA be arrsed to make in win 2k compatible no of course they could not that would go against the **** off the gamers tradition and will EA release a patch for windows 2000 that works no of course not they will make us wait and pay for Fifa 2001 and superbike 2001 well bolocks EA give that f**king license to another company and let them make a game we all know is possible with a bit of feedback from us the gamers and we also will maybe get the support we deserve after paying £30 for the god damm game well thats it i cannot end this letter with i am not going to buty anouther EA game ever again as i want that license and no other game can compete with that but what i am gonna say is until EA make a game i think is worthy of me paying £30 for (Football) then i will download the FUC*ING game and ripp them bast**ds off. bye guys ------------------ MAC
