  1. Here's what I did: Open Explorer, click Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types now find the extension of the file you want your own program to open select it and press delete then close folder options and double click on an image of the type you just changed and it should ask you what program you would like to use to open it. Select your program from the list or click Browse and find it. Jason A.

    How to set grouping

    Find a copy of the WindowsXP powertoys, specifically TweakUI for WinXP. It has a nice section for doing exactly what you want.
  3. Does anyone know how to turn off the integrated ZIP file support in Windows XP? I prefer to use WinRAR and when I open a directory in explorer that contains a lot of zip files, they are listed as directories, something which I find really annoying as it clutters up the folder view in Windows Explorer. Thanks, Jason A.
  4. Awesome, that worked great! Thanks! Jason A.

    Removing ICQ 2000b SMS Button

    Anyone know of a way to permanetly remove the annoying SMS button at the top of the ICQ 2000b window? I removed the Partner folder in the ICQ 2000 dir and the button didn't show up the next time I restarted ICQ but I checked the ICQ dir a minute later and it had recreated the Partner folder and the next time I restarted ICQ the button was there. Anyone know of a way to stop it?

    SB live!, win2k, and kt133

    What you can try to do is uninstall the drivers for the Sound Blaster Live, then reboot and Windows will find the soundcard again and prompt you for drivers. Point it to the Microsoft WDM Sound Blaster live drivers and when they are installed download the latest SB Live drivers for Windows 2000 from Creative. Install these and reboot and it should all work. Jason A. PS: After the drivers are installed and working you can try to install LiveWare 3 for Windows 2000.

    Ultima 9 probs

    I just installed Ultima 9 on Windows 2000 final and it starts up, displays a loading screen, screen goes black, flickers, and im back at the desktop. I was having the exact same problem under Windows Millenium and I had no sound card drivers installed, I installed them and now the game runs great in WinME. I just downloaded the new SBlive drivers (I have the Creative SBLive Value) and installed them and still Ultima 9 won't run in Win2k. I think the problem is my soundcard but I don't really know. Any help is appreciated, Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    win2k 5.13 beta

    To do a benchmark in Quake3 simply start it up and at the main menu press tilde(~) to bring down the console. Type \timedemo 1 and press Enter. Press tilde(~) again to get rid of console Click on Demo, then choose any demo and press Play Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    win2k 5.13 beta

    A whole 3fps eh? I have a original TNT with a Celeron 550 and 128MB RAM and I gained over 30 FPS in Quake3 I am very happy about that. Of course I was using the fastest settings so our scores are different. I had ~40 and now get 71.8 FPS with the same settings. Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    Nvidia Neptune 5.02 Drivers Any Good?

    I tried them and Direct3D and AGP support were disabled when I ran dxdaig.exe. I was previously running 3.81 drivers and when I installed these new drivers the overwrote my existing nvoglnt.dll with an _older_ version. Seemed a bit odd. I deinstalled them cause without Direct3D I can't play Unreal Tournament Jason A. ------------------ I write code.
  17. Now that the latest version of LiveWare fully supports EAX 3D sound in Windows 2000 you can have 3D sound in Quake3 . As you may know, Quake3 only supports 3D sound on Aureal cards but there is a way around this. Aureal created a wrapper for non-A3D cards that uses DirectSound for its 3D effects. This is supposed to work on any soundcard but there are only a few that have been tested. Here is a list of the working ones: http://downloads.aureal.com/pub/Public/Drivers/A3D/readmea2d.txt Here is the place to download the drivers: http://downloads.aureal.com/pub/Public/Drivers/A3D/a2ddrivers.exe Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    LiveWare for Win2K

    There are two versions on my FTP. One large ZIP file that has everything in it and a bunch of little RAR files for the bandwidth impaired. Don't download both! Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    the full real liveware2000 not just 15meg

    Is this version of liveware2000 the first one you have installed or attempted to install on your current copy of Windows2000? If you have files still in your system directory then this may be what is causing you all the trouble. If you have the time and inclination, try reinstalling win2k and then trying these drivers (not the dell ones, not the 15MB ones) fresh. Jason A. ------------------

    ATI Rage Fury 32 Win2k Drivers

    Has anyone tried the new ATI Rage Fury drivers for Win2k? I have installed them on two different machines and they bluescreened on reboot Both systems were identical hardware configurations except one had no sound card. Here are the specs: Celeron 400A 128 PC-100 RAM Sound Blaster Live! (CD drivers installed) 10GB hard drive (Quantum?) Soyo ? Motherboard 40X CD-ROM drive Jason A. ------------------ I write code.

    the full real liveware2000 not just 15meg

    I haven't tried using suspend mode yet but I have noticed that if i didn't check "Do Not Map Through This Device" in the properties for my soundcard, my music output would get corrupted (sound all screwed up) if I clicked on three files or folders in succession in Explorer (makes a 'click' sound when you do this). So if you are experiencing this problem, just check the setting mentioned above to correct it. Jason A. ------------------ --- I write code.

    the full real liveware2000 not just 15meg

    This version works great! Everything works after only one reboot I setup another mirror, login anonymously to get the files in .RAR or a single .ZIP file. ftp://24.115.65.87 Jason A. ------------------ --- I write code.
  25. Anyone got all the hotkeys on the latest Microsoft Keyboard working? The keyboard with a top row of buttons to start email programs, search, calculator, my computer, etc... Only a few of mine work under Windows 2000. Jason A.
