Thanks for the reply, IIS 5, does that allow me to host webpages on my pc and let others view it? if it is then were do i find it on Win2K?? Thanks Dave

i had win98 and win2k dual booting ok, the i installed WinME beta 2149 over win98, still dual boot worked ok. whilst in winME beta i formatted the drive that Win2Kpro was on, (that was real stupid) i restarted the computer and the dual boot menu was still their so i booted into dos and tried to re-install win2kpro but it won't let me, something about the windows boot loader is incorrect or wrong. firstly how do i get rid of the dual boot menu so that I only boot into winME and nothing else, as if i only have 1 OS? then how do i go about re-installing win2kpro? i know about the files that win2kpro put's on the boot hard drive boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect etc..... thanks Dave

no u don't have to, just replace your backed up boot.ini file with the one on your harddrive now. That is assuming u have backed it up?

yep, those 5.16 drivers work ok for me, well sorta, i was running UT in OpenGL, but it doesn't wokr no more so i had to go back to D3D and that worked ok. Dave ------------- PIII 500 MSI 6156 128Mb Ram GeForce 256 (Elsa Erazor X) blah blah blah etc etc....

i TOTALLY formatted my hard drive recreated 2 partitiions C: & D: 1 for win98 one for win2kpro, win98 installed, but gave an error message, first it told me to install smartdrive (what is that?) then it said i had a compression utility on my drive and scandisk would not work with MSDOS 5.0 or less????? but it still installed ok. tried to install win2kpro and it said couldn't installed loader please check C; is formatted and not damaged! so i got a new drive and it did exactly the same as the old one?? anyone know what to do? i'm at my whits end! Thank you v.much Dave

the epson 600 drivers on the Windows 2000 Professional cd worked fine for me, no probs at all. Dave [This message has been edited by deathwish (edited 16 April 2000).]

is ok, i've fixed it now! it needed to have smartddrv.exe loaded from the boot floppy then it work perfectly. very strange tho! Dave [This message has been edited by deathwish (edited 15 April 2000).]

try here, but winme isn't that great, it will support all your hardware, but it crashes a lot more than win98se, i'd have win2kpro anyday http://www.win98central.com/millennium/millennium.html Dave
