Hi there, Right, got a h000ge problem with our network here. 3 computers all running XP Pro + SP2 (2 of which are fresh formats). Using a Netgear DG834 for routing services with ADSL, which is working fine. The problem is accessing files over the network. We all have shared folders (no printers), yet when you click "My Network Places" then click on the computer it will hang, then explorer.exe will do its thing and crash All computers are on the same workgroup so thats not an issue but we all have ZoneAlarm installed, we tried disabling ZoneAlarm but it didn't seem to have much effect. Have added our IP range (Zen ADSL with 8 IP's routed) to the trusted zone in zonealarm too. Anyone ever had this problem? Seems WinXP doesn't like sharing folders!

1. Are they all in the same Workgroup? Yep, MSHOME 2. Can each of the clients ping the other? Yep 3. Can you browse each machine by going through the UNC path from START \ RUN \ "\\Mymachine" without the quotes (or "\\192.168.1.12" ? Yep 4. The windows firewall is disabled? Yes, running ZoneAlarm 5. Simple file sharing is disabled? Yes 6. As a side note, double check your Share AND NTFS permissions. Done, sharing is ok. 7. An internal LMHOSTS and/or HOSTS file may help resolve internal names. Not sure what this is... Tried doing a search but found it confusing, either that or I am searching for the wrong thing. Cheers.

I am trying to get GTA3 installed onto my other pc to see how it runs etc. Its an AMD Duron 900Mhz, ECS K7S5A mobo, 256MB Crucial ram, Voodoo3, SB Live 1024, etc running on a new install of Win2k Pro with SP2 It all runs quite well and its really fast. I put the GTA3 cd in, let it auto-run, click on OK then it stops with this error msg: Quote: The InstallShield engine (iKernel.exe) could not be installed. (0x10000) Anyone help me?

Actually it worked with my Voodoo3, no problems at all... ? But i just replaced it with a KyroII and it works much better

Has anyone had any luck in getting Grand Prix World working in WinXP?

Yeah thats what I thought, some weird crap but never mind

Yeah thats what I was doing. I got it working by putting the cd in another pc on my network and sharing it.

Erm yeah thats what its doing ;(

Is the card overclocked? Is it cooled efficiently? Try sticking a fan on it.

rm -rf /via then install intel *bring on the flames*

The Hammer will have an IHS, or rather I have seen one with one on.

Hi, I just installed C&C Red Alert on my WINXP box and it went fine as long as it was run in Win95 compat mode, is there a piece of software that'll enable me to run things in win95 compat mode on my WIN2K box? Any URL's would be appreciated as the MS site doesn't like me

I left my AMD platform, not because of AMD, they make good chips, it was because of VIA and there lack of ability in designing a chip thats no only super fast but super reliable/stable. Intel design's good chips as well but there chipsets are second to none for compatibility. I use a SiS 645 chipset in my P4 system and I agree that I might have lost some compatibility but I have never experianced and problems with this setup unlike with my AMD/VIA setup.

I used to get that. what causes it?

I disabled ACPI in the BIOS before I install WinXP, now all my devices have there own IRQ, one down side is that you need to press the power button to switch off the pc now ;(

Anyone considered the new SiS 645 based boards? DDR333 ram et all http://www.anandtech.com/chipsets/showdoc.html?i=1541 There ^^^

Yeah my mate has one of these boards, Abit BX133-RAID, they do exist. its a Intel BX chipset specced to run at 133Mhz FSB for Coppermine cpu's, oh and it has a HPT370 RAID thang

well i suppose you could use Machine Code, binary? I duno, maybe C or C++ *shrugs*

Can someone explain why you would want to install a program as a service? Ta

I get that error as well, using a Realtek NIC, it only happens when I install Winroute Pro though!?!? odd must be cos ACPI thinks its good to run all my devices on IRQ11 lol

Whats the best mp3 ripper for XP? Is MusicMatch compatible? Ta

I tried to get WinRoute Pro installe don my XP system so i could share the net etc but XP wont have it, when i reboot after installing WinXP BSOD's! something to do with NDIS.SYS and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS ?! Anyone got this working or know of any other way to share the net connection, apart from WinXP's Wizard, the other pc's are Win98SE systems. Ta!

Would it be possible to keep my current win98 setup and install xp along side on the SAME partition/harddrive?

The new Det4 drivers are supposed to be compatible with WinXP, they are being released middle of Sept
