Clean install of W2K and and Rogue Spear, still the same, no overclocking, wonder if anyone have the same problem playing online with Rogue Spear under W2K?

it is a bios problem, ask abit to release a real acpi bios

It is Bios related, ask you motherboard manufacture to released a real acpi bios.

had similar problem with the BP6, still tracing it, looks like sound driver related, waiting for creative to release full set of driver.

I had this experience when I was using the build in driver for my TNT2 but once I updated the driver to 3.66 it was gone. It sounds like some kind of driver conflict, the O/S is very stable IMHO

Since W2K is NT 5 and my experience with NT told me that the more ram you got the merrier this O/S will run. I won't say at least 128 and if you do a lot of multi-tasking 256

try setting the settings in the mouse settings in control panel to max, it helps but don't clear it up

It is always better to do a clean install instead of an upgrade, I did both and found clean install didnot give me any problem. facts: upgrade from win98 ends up my modem is gone, but clean install w2k found my modem without problem. upgrade from win98, my program list in start menu plus favorites in IE5 will only show my recently used or visited program or sites but clean install this function is gone?? anyone knows how to re-enable this ?? cheers
