Iknow there were BID problems with SP1, but I wasn't aware of the consequences of the problems. Sorry if it's old news (considering I found it on MSNBC, it wouldn't surprise me). http://www.msnbc.com/news/446162.asp ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

3 seperate installs on three seperate machines (one over a clean install of W2k pro) and no issues yet! ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

I believe oshie was referring to the non-Liveware utilities included on the CD. Via Voice and the like... ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Go into your BIOS and change the Display setting to initialize the PCI card first. ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

When your CPU is too busy paying attention to you grpahic card's texture management, it will frequently drop sound... ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Please tell us HOW it won't install and perhaps we can help you. ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

www.3dfiles.com isn't dead... ...and http://www.softsystem.co.uk/page3.htm is the URL for SoundFX 2000 ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Edit the boot.ini file in the root of c:\ ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Go to Folder Options under Tools from Windows Explorer. Click on the File Types tab. Find the extension and click on the Advanced Button. Do NOT click on delete!! Select the Action you want to remove and clcik... Remove. Voila! ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

For example: NET CONFIG SERVER /HIDDEN:YES This will cause several keys to be displayed that were previously hidden. Careful though, there are ramificaitons for doing this. Check MS TechNet for more information. ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Those keys are invisible until you change a 'net server' setting from the command prompt... ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

...and you've got the correct Cd in the drive? ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

You are switching out the install CD for the game data cd, yes? I know it's the most obvious step, but it's best to start there. If that isn't the problem, do you have more than one CD drive in your system? ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

Who reported that the Devil Inside demo works? And more importantly... WHERE did you get it?! ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw*

I agree, Ronin. Absolutely. Firstly, with W2k I never get to reboot my system when explorer hangs. I used to so love doing that under Win9x. Also, I have to deal with this annoying stability problem that the new OS kernel seems to have. What's up with that? No need to reboot at least once a day to maintain peak operability? What utter nonsense. Quake 3 Arena, Half Life, Unreal, Heretic II, even that pig of a game Ultima Ascension run smoothly with the drivers I have currently installed for my Voodoo 3 and SB Live!. Honestly. If the only reason you have a computer is to run games, then uninstall W2k, certainly. Go back to Win9x, you'll be much happier... just like MS said from the very beginning. Please don't come here to trash W2k, I'm sure there are plenty of Unix forums where you can go to do that. ------------------ *gniltrohc yawa srednaw* I must be more tired than I thought. This message doesn't even make sense to me... [This message has been edited by PraetorJudis (edited 22 March 2000).]
