well i am student right now at a certified microsoft school and i was just wandering if some body could post a link where i could read some more about the msdn package both pro and universal and how do you get the academic price. and with this do i become a true beta tester or is there more i have to do.

yeah but try the netwrking options and see how much less you reboot and after a machine is running good (wich i have not had for sometime but i think i am there now.)and you make adjustments your going to see the difference i know i do.

so true and so sad but the big guns love there sheep and they love money so they will push the dumby on to W2k but your right it will take a bit (well 90% of my machine works and 1000x better then 98 or 95 ever ran so for me it is worth the wait) long live uncle bill

yes you can just use the latest nvidia driver wich i believe are 3.76 i use 3.75 and all is well so did not try 3.76 but im sure they work and of curse there is no tv out and if you have not updated your bios on the stb you should there is update at there site

well if you were asking me about stb MY system sec are _____________________________________________ daul PII 400 256 meg of ram stb vel 4400 onboard daul adaptec scsi card soundblaster value two NIC cards HP 8100 cdwr 20 gig hp (7200) 6 gig scsi ibm and i just use the latest nvidia drivers and i play everything just not maxed out

i use stb 4400 with the nvidia drivers and have no prblems (quake III, sof, unreal tu) they all run fine but of course i have no tv out

well let me ask you this do you need ntfs file properties such as folder permisions and compression and if so how much maybe just a small partition ntfs and then large fat32 area :0 best of both worlds

well this is not a direct w2k question but I am running w2k on Gateway ALR 7200 mother board but not a gateway puter the motherboard is daul slot 1 chip set (2 penII 400) 6 pci 1 raid 1 isa no agp and onboard daul adptec scsi controlers(I have this board because i bought at a show for $90 beat that) but I would like to overclock my pentiums but have no cntrl over bus speed no jumpers,bios or anything. and the multiplier seems to have jumpers but no matter how I arange them nothing changes. I would like to use soft fbs but with out knowing exactly what mother board i have this is tuff so any help Like if you know make of mother board used by gateway or maybe a bios upgrade that will work curently pheonix bios not sure revision not at home(but up to date). any type of help would be great

THE MAN fits you well thanks for your input

was wondering if any body has tried to update this card with an nvida bios i know the drivers work but scared to f#ck up my bios with bad flash. and if any body has found or heard that tv out will be supported i know from SEARCHES that there are not many tv out functioning but never heard any thing about vel 4400 (i guess because it is pretty old now)thanks

use cd patch so you dont need the cd in the drive you can prbably find a patch like this at www.gamecopyworld.com (i only use this site to back up my own games) apply the patch and you should be god to go . not sure if that was the kind of fix you were looking for. and yes I belive that w2k pro and server are very close but like you said with alot more services running in server.

glad i check freq. got link before it was nuked and it worked like a charm I LOVE YOU GUYS!! long live W2K(we all know uncle bill needs the mony)

now i could be wrong but i belive that you get thoughs crazy irq because off irq steering and what typ of daul chip set you have set in your bios i use 1.4 and have no problems allthough i do have some crazy irq being used you culd allways turn plug and play off and straighten out your irqs like that.

well i forced acpi on my box by changing it in device manager(show all devices and select acpi dual or single proc.) and on reboot got nothing and couldnt boot in safe mode so what i did was use the repaire install off the w2k rom and wala my machine booted again and it showed up as acpi all though i dont realy see a difference. ------------------ 92% of what we worry about never happens.

well my machine was not showing up as acpi under computer in device manager so I manuled installed acpi dual processor and my machine would not boot it just showed startup screen then reset so i booted into millenium and used recover of w2k and it worked and my puter shows up as acpi now. the question(finaly) how can I tell if this has changed or helped anything. Where do i look

any help wold be good and just to let you know i installed 3.75 video drivers no prob but dont realy see any difference.

here is a link to cool littel app that will tell you for sure http://www.savilltech.com/download/wininfo.zip [This message has been edited by chopper2000 (edited 27 January 2000).] [This message has been edited by chopper2000 (edited 27 January 2000).]

I have tried over and over again to get dxr3 encoder working I have seen that the preferd way of doing this is with the sigma Hollywoood plus beta drivers and then installing the stander nt drivers over them. I have tried this but get the Blue screen O'death my dvd is oem i mean it is dxr3 board with the 5x drive my system is a dual pent 400 with 256 ram vellocity pci video, SB live value , encore dvd dxr3, intelpoint explorer mouse and I am running build 2195.1(free)also any help with intelipoint 3.0 software or a way to program side buttons on mouse. ANY HELP would be great. With this being my first post I would like to take the time to thank every body at this board and let you know that you are some of the most resourceful pepeol I have ever met. With out this board I may have given up W2k. GLAD I DIDN'T. ------------------ 92% of what we worry about never happens.

alrght got it to install with out blue screen but now it tells me that the device is not functioning because drivers for other device not present error message 31 if I look it say it is using memory out of range but I cant seem to change it tried to in properties but does not give option. Man I wish they would just F*CKING release some drivers allready !! will try anything once

well in nt i think it is best to set min and max the same and put it on a sperate partition. helped on my laptop wich i run 2195 and only have 32meg of ram with a min/max 260 meg swap space. I am still hurting for memory but this at least made it bareble. p.s dont mean a partician just for swap space i mean on a different particion then the OS [This message has been edited by chopper2000 (edited 22 January 2000).]
