"their support is the lowest on the scale" Hardly, there are ALOT of other companies that are even worse. It's not unusual for a company to focus on their latest products. In the case of Live! which has been out for close to 2yrs......

"What ever happen to the MacOS that was going to run on pc's" Obviously he hasn't been keeping up with the news. It's been known for months that OS X would run on X86's. Also ID is porting Quake 3 to it. I don't much keep up with Mac's but at least I TRY to stay up with my enemies advances.

Yep, I guarantee that it will work in Windows 2000. Baldur's Gate I does. Baldur's Gate II is based on the same engine with a few graphics tweaks.

Go to www.flexion.org and download ForceASPI.

Neptune Build 5111 has been out on the net for awhile....

Sharing IRQ's?

Hmm, The latest version of Creator is 4.02d. Try that. This is almost certainly a software problem. (Not a problem with 2000). Most likely it's a problem with the Adaptec software. So up[censored] to 4.02d should work. My HP 9100 8X4X32 works fine in 2000 and I've never had a problem. Even with the original 4.02. You could also try up[censored] the firmware of your writer. Also try Nero or some other software and see if those work.

What version of the Adaptec software are you using? 3.5c and above have worked great in 2000. As of 4 Creator uses it's own internal ASPI.

Hmmm, just ran Netstat and it ran fine. With SP1 in Windows 2000 Pro.

Normal ATI business practices. They have to focus ALL of their business on the RADEON because that's the product that can make or break them. Alot of people who have used ATI before are waiting to see what ATI's next product will be and are totally ignoring the Radeon. I wouldn't expect much from them for their older cards.

Yep. ME is 9x and 9x is ME.

Or copy the .VOB's using CladDVD to the hard drive and then play them over the network from there or load up some software to play DVD's on the source drive. Let it start playing the movie. Now pause it and try to watch the DVD from the client computer.

??? Windows 2000 Advanced Server boots up in 1m 5s from the time I press the Power button until it asks me to press Ctrl+Alt+del. Whistler 2250 didn't seem to boot up any faster.

The is no reason to use the Unreal Tournament Engine hack for unreal if you use the latest patch for Unreal.

1. Download Winzip 8.0 from www.winzip.com. Install Winzip 8.0. 2. Copy the Windows 2000 CD to "?":\W2PSEL_EN on your HD. (?:\ = Drive letter, W2pSEL_EN = Volume Label of CD 3.

Make a batch file called update.bat and place these lines into it: update.exe -s:"?":\W2PSEL_EN "?"=Drive Letter What update.exe looks for is the i386 directory. So change the F:\ to reflect the drive that has the i386 directory from the Windows 2000 CD. W2PSEL_EN is just the directory where the i386 directory resides. In case your wondering why mine is different it's because I have the SELECT version. 6. Save the batch file and run it. 7. It should update your files and it will tell you when it is done.

CDROM_IA.5 - If you are doing 2000 ADVANCED SERVER then place this into the root. 11.

Yes it is but you have to be able to access the NTFS partition in DOS/Linux to copy over the files.

heh. ren DOS ALT 2+5+5

But if you make an extra partition you can convert it to NTFS and then delete it later.

Yep, you have to use NTFS. You could put all your stuff on a separate partition and convert it to NTFS using Convert X: /FS:NTFS /V

I like the changes! Keep up the good work.
