Well, LinuxCompatible would list all applications compatible with Linux wouldn't it? Listing Linux apps as Linux compatible seems kind of redundant if you ask me. NTCompatible was different in that not all windows apps ran under all versions of windows (the FF series comes to mind as having problems with NT/2k/XP). All Linux apps should be compatible with Linux in general, allowing that you meet the apps dependencies. Now, how this site differs from http://appdb.codeweavers.com/ is a completely different question.

AMD CPUs have an issue with corrupt video data which leads to crashing. Try installing the registry patch found HERE

I ***ume your talking about: http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon-duron/amd_win2k_patch.html [This message has been edited by DFB (edited 05 January 2001).]

Open up Windows Explorer: Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types: Scroll down to HTML, and select ADVANCED. This shows you all the options you will have when you right click this file type. Just select the option you want to change (say EDIT) and change the path to the program that that function executes. You'll have to do this for every file type effected.

There's also a file that can be found in the October news archives that fixes the refresh rate problem. For everyone else, he's not talking about fps, he's talking refresh. nVidia cards default to 60Hz unless you set them otherwise using some 3rd party app.

Try the MiniGL found at http://www.wicked3d.com/technology/wickedGL.htm

7.17 + DX8 = BAD idea. Games lock up, constant crashes. The only thing that didn't cause a problem was normal 2D desktop usage. 6.47 seems to have fixed the problem. [This message has been edited by DFB (edited 11 November 2000).]

I'm using DX8, and the Det. 7.17 drivers did nothing but crash when I tried to play a game. Going back to 6.47 seems to have fixed the problem though. Funny how the RC1 didn't have a problem with 7.17 but the final did.

www.bootdisk.com may also help if you don't have easy access to a 9x machine (although I'd assume most people would).

http://www.98lite.net/ Can't download a free version of 98Lite IV yet, hopefully be available for you guys soon though.

I know nothing about the PCI128, but the AWE64 Value (from experience) works well over all. There are a few catches though. Your stuck with the default win2k drivers, and somethings don't work 100% all the time. I had a lot of trouble with the MIC IN, but a format seems to have strangely fixed that problem.

A while ago I had difficulties with my AWE64 Value. I've tried ever driver I've been able to find (Win9x, WinNT4, etc) and have found none to work, and most to generate larger problems. I'm afraid us AWE 64 card users are out of luck. On a side note, I did find that a format and complete reinstall fixed my problem (VERY loud crackling when using a microphone, unusable before the format).

Trayer does this. I used to use it with the NT Command line for Seti@Home. I've never actually tried it with windows apps, but I'd assume it works just as well as it does for dos windows. http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10105-100-1541861.html?tag=st.dl.10001_103_1.lst.td_1541861

Not really a good solution, but this may be helpful. Try going to www.vcdgear.org It allows you to convert from dat to mpg (among other things)
