Pir8ing is all about evaluation, not stealing. where the hell did you get it from, cause the pir8te version was realease 11/18/2000 . I find it hard to belive you get the final version from a pir8te site/ftp, unless you get the final from a tester that uploaded it somwhere witch would mean its not the storefront retail version

They got the RTM Copy, not the retail copy, they probably downloaded it 2 or 3 months before it was in stores. wow, you dont get it at all. pirated copies come out at the most a week before official release ( www.isonews.com ), 2 or 3 months what are you friggin crazy they wouldnt just hold the game for that long. The only way they would get it that early is if it is a beta

well it worked fine for me im running: DX8 6.47 drivers Geforce2 MX Wint2k sp1 2 PII's @300 196 MB ram when the configuration box comes up what GFX selections did you make?

out of about 4 EA(Fifa2001 Madden2001 Superbikes2001 Nhl2001) games i have 1 works (nhl2001) it almost seems as if the put an effort into not supporting windows 2000

well i tried them out here are my results with a Geforce2 MX: In 3dmark2000 there was no improvment from 6.47 The only game i play half life(TFC) would freeze

DavidNewbould, read what it says in his sig."(Leaning back towards Win2k Pro though )" WinME and 9X were designed for complete newbies and 4 year olds (you). I have dual PIII 900's, and will WinME support both?? NO!! That piece of **** OS will only see one of my PIII's. Anyway my frame rate in win2k kicks the ass of Winme owners (according to 3dMark2000 online result browser) If you don’t like Windows 2000 go to WinME.com and stir up some brilliant conversations with them about how Win2k sucks cause we do NOT care about all your little childish comments.

well im on 16 colors with 640 by 480 here is the prob: everything was working fine untill i tried to install detonator 6.41 drivers. after trying to install them it gave me an error saying they cant be installed, so i tried reinstalling the old 6.31 from Nvidia's site...same error tells me drivers are not installed in device manager Here is what i have: Windows 2000 w/sp1 Viper v550 16mb agp also strange thing is if i use the windows 2000 default drivers i get 32 color and full res support but no opengl also tried doing what it said in this post but to no avail http://www.ntcompatible.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/003650.html [This message has been edited by haute (edited 08 October 2000).]

didnt work had to re-install win2k, everything works fine now except game are realy choppy

im guessing english the creators 2nd language, i dont think 1 word is spelt right

take a look at these options [This message has been edited by haute (edited 10 June 2000).]

i have wintv usb and here are the problems i have If i run another application i get the blue screen If i install DX8 it refuses to run

a while back somone made a patch that would reinstall Dx7 if you ever damaged the files, i think it was dosfreak that made it try searching

works just fine for me agp and everything else is working

i get the error only way i was able to fix it was install the 3.81

After installing DirectX8 no more freez ups

I had that problem for a while the only way i was able to fix it was to reinstall windows 2000, you could try running sfc /scannow to see if any files are damaged or missing

Just like every other 5.XX drivers...causes me to crash in IE had to go back to 3.81

And I can guarantee you that all his 54 posts were totally useless. I would rather talk to someone with 1 post than you with 1000, all you do is post moronic replies and gay comebacks. [This message has been edited by haute (edited 19 May 2000).]

i got Viper V550-TNT 16 MB Pentium MMX 3D mainboard w/Amibios

All it does is cause my computer to freezes up.......just like all the other drivers above 3.81

anyone know run command that would repair windows system files? it was somthing like scn/run but i forgot

Talk about service only 2 minutes to get a reply,now only if microsoft could do that thanks

I think a real pirate would be smart egnough to go to a War*z board and ask for it, If you need the serial just call Bill Gates. "A honorable pirate is as common as a left handed samurai."
