Hi all, I've just installed Windows XP and am very pleased with it. Only problem i have is that in Explorer, it views .zip files as folders. Which i dont want. Any idea how to turn that off? I've already installed Winzip, but that just changed the icon of the .zip files. Not the way it is shown in Explorer. Thank you for your help. Loc

Does anyone know where i can find these? Win2k adv. server didn't recognise the card and i haven't been able to get hold of any drivers, not from diamond or nvidia. So any help would be appreciated, seeing as 640 x 480 in 16 colours is very annoying ;P Thnx loc

Thnx a million matey, that did the trick CUViper! Finally 1024 with more then 16 colours =) Sweet...

I was overjoyed reading about MS releasing a new comptibility patch with added game support. So i immediately installed it. After install i try firing up Half-Life and i get the msg "HL can only be run in 16 bit colour mode, change your desktop accordingly". Well i always run my desktop in 32 bit mode and i NEVER got that error with HL before (this patch). HL will work when i change my desktop to 16 bit, but to be honest i like my 32 bit. My question therefore is how can i get HL to work without having me to change my desktop each time i want to play HL? (can i instruct windows to auto change to 16 bit or summin, as apparently it did in the past) Thnx --Loc

Sorry CHAOSMAN, i dont even know what Heavy Gear 2 is!! Its prolly a game but i dont know it so im sorry to say i cant help you =( --Loc

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS....thnx CHAOSMAN =) That .inf did the trick. I suggest all you peeps go get and install it cause it does work!! --Loc

CHAOSMAN: That post may help the 3Dfx people, but there are also a lot of people who use NVidia or summin else, which that patch can't solve unfortunately. I hope MS has noticed all the bad mouthing it gets over this new update and gets this patch patched QUICKLY!! --Loc

How do you make a windows 2000 system disk?! I want to flash my motherboard bios so in order to do that i need a system disk. Format a:/s dont work for some reason and a windows98 system disk wont load on win2k. Any ideas/suggestion? --Loc

YES!!!!! That Dell disk did the job!! Thanks alot bud! Unbelievable thu isnt it, a win95 disk saves the day in this win2k day and age!!! Ahh...irony... Oh well...Thnx alot again, my new bios is working sweet =) --Loc

Yeah i tried that as well, but the Bootdisk wont load because i get the error "NTLTD cannot be found, press any key to restart". Any ideas?

Hi all, ive got a bit of a problem. My pc (win2k) is hooked onto a LAN with 2 other pc's (one Win2k and one win98). Thing is, my LAN performance is like 1/8-th it was in the past. We run a 10Mbit LAN but i only get 100K/s to and from the other pc's. I cant find out what the problem is, we are all on the same workgroup and if i do a search for computers near me i can find then no problem, theres just the speed problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help Yuppie, but i was being an arse. I had AtGuard running in the background which apparently blocked the traffic partially. /me feels stupid and go stands in a corner now =( --Loc

And i forgot to add that the other 2 pcs DO have a good working connection, so its some setting on my pc which is causing the problem.

Win2k TweakUI *working* version download http://web3.baymont.com/win2k/win2kworld/download_files/w2ktweakui.zip [This message has been edited by Loc (edited 17 March 2000).]

I've have tried numerous NT firewalls, but none of them seem to install on Win2k, anyone know of a firewall which DOES work with win2k? Ta, Loc

Shrink, cant you tell zonealarm to "trust" sygate? I think you can set it at server with access and server rights to internet, so it shouldnt block the traffic then? Try it...but i might be wrong, but then i dont use sygate =) --Loc

I never have problems staying connected, only when you arent running zonealarm and you are connected to an ftp or irc for instance will it disconnect you when you initialise the program. Other then that, if you just put it in the start-up group everything works fine (cept gamespy, but that is understandable). --Loc

Very nice prog indeed, ta for bringing it to my attention!! AND its free too!! Thanks Shrink! --Loc

Your lockups are caused bij your setup.. If you got an Athlon and Geforce it'll lockup randomly..(I have got the same prob). I decided too install Windows Millenium Build 2470.. Beta though.. I hope Microsoft comes with a BIG patch/fix to fix this VERY irritating problem.. I have no idea what to do against the prob (sorry) but i do know that if you ain't gonna install Win95/98/SE/ME you will be stuck with this problem untill Microsoft comes with a patch/fix.. I hoped I helped you out.. Good luck in fixing it..

Hi i have a bit of an annoying problem, sometimes when i want to restart windows or shut it down it wont. I press the shutdown button and it closes all progs (all the icons in my system tray are gone) and then just does nothing. If i press the start menu agian (while the grey layer is over the screen telling me it should be shutting down) it just pops up again. So it looks like it shuts down all programs and then just stops. If i try another shutdown it still wont go. I have to turn my pc off with the powerswitch =( Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Ta, Loc
