Four and Twenty

yeah i don't have to tweak xp nearly as much as win2k and i get much better performance in xp.

It must be because you are intergrated into AD or a domain or something cause i have never seen the windows security window in xp. I know that is the reason why the switch user is not available.

Office xp is working great here no probs with access or any of the other apps. The last build of whistler had some disagreements with the speech api service and occasionally sapisvr.exe would eat all my cpu cycles for about 30 seconds or so. Since i have gotten xp beta no more problems with the speech api. I run Office XP under win2k adv server as well with no problems there.

yeah i need to get a job then i would not be so broke

you can lock down xp just as much as 2k the privacy issue is a nonissue

that is weird have you by any chance disabled the graphical login?

the program is specifically designed for win2k if it sees nt 5.1 it craps out.

i have a roor

When I hit C-A-D in xp pro i get the task manager. When it hit C-A-D in win 2k I get the options for lock computer shut down task manager etc. Not the same thing.

Yeah that sounds fine that is the way that I had it before but now that win xp runs all my games better than win me I never really use it anymore. Win me is good to have around for compatibility though so you might as well keep it. One of the main points of winxp is to be everything that me was and then some. You should test out you flight sim in xp you may be pleasantly surprised.

do win2k first trust me on this one

Well I had win me for playing games and win2k for doing work related stuff. Now I just use winxp beta 2 for everything. I keep Win2k around for some programs and defrag purposes. And i keep win me around for running cracks and stuff that run in dos mode and woln't run in winxp.

Are there any wireless mice out there that don't suck. I have used them before but they always seemed laggy and inaccurate. Are there any out there that would compare to the smoothness and accuracy of my intelli mouse explorer.

bootdisk.com you can download whatever bootdisks you want there.

whatever

Strang i find it to be much faster than win2k in every way. Don't know if madden runs but I have yet to have a game not run on it. I think that if you click log off then switch user that is about the equive to locking the workstation in 2k.

Reinstall all programs on a separate partition. It is not a good idea to just point to them or install over them. ------------------ My System Dell Demension XPS T500 (SE440BX-2 Chipset) Triple Boot Windows Millennium Final Retail (c: FAT32) Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1 (d: NTFS w/ 4K Clusters) Windows Whistler Pro Beta 2 2462a (e: NTFS w/ 4K Clusters) PIII 500 @ 512.8 Mhz (with after market heatsink and dual fan) 512 Megs PC100 SDRAM Guillemot Maxi Gammer Cougar (TNT2 M64 w/ 32 Megs of RAM / Core & Mem Overclocked by 20 mhz) Matrox Millennium PCI (w/ 4 Megs of RAM for second monitor) 3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 Ethernet Card Yamaha DS1 Integrated Audio 2 x Abit Hot Rod Pro ATA-100 RAID Controlers 2 x 12.6 Gig Maxtor Hard Disks RAID 0 W/ 8K block size (for system) 1 76.3 Gig Maxtor Hard Disk (for storage 1 NTFS partion w/ 4K Clusters) 40X LG CD Rom Drive 100 Mb Iomega Internal Zip Drive MS Explorer Mouse USB MS Natural Keyboard Pro USB Dell M770 17 inch CRT Dell E550 15 inch CRT

this is the last time I am going to bump this before I give up totaly. If anyone knows of any way to ghost a raid array plese let me know.

speak for yourself

i don't know if it is real or not all i know is that it is bullshit if u guys think that i intended that as an april fools thing or something i didn't i got it in the email and i didn't even realize it was april fools until inferno mentioned it.

it probly adds to some extent but it certianly would not double the noise or anything like that

what drivers are you using?

i think it is one or the other sorry. You could run another browser like i don't want to say it netscape
