Quote: Has anyone managed to get 3DMark 99 working under WinXP??? I've tried several things including running it in compatibility mode... After installation, attempting to run the software results in an error complaing that DirectX 6.1 is required (even though I have DirectX 8.1 installed!!!). Any ideas? Cheers. AKKO it woln't work under xp there is no point cause 3dmark2k2 does and don't double post

Quote: Anyone know how to remove just the annoying 'Drag n Drop' icons from my desktop on a Sony R505-TSK running Windows 2000? The program lets me burn CDs just fine, but I hate those crazy icons! ;( ;( ;( perhaps drag and drop them into thr recycle bin

Quote: I am running 29.42's here... When the 40's become WHQL-Certified, I'll give them a go, but there seems to be too many issues currently. depends on chipset gfx card and dx version really the 40 series run great with dx9

Quote: that's all well and good, except that I don't have a "class" part in my registry put one there

symantec is great if you only use their corporate edition software.

Quote: Take a look at KAV. One of the best out there... SYMANTEC ANTIVIRUS CORPORATE EDITION 8.0 FOR WINDOWS CLIENTS Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Millennium Edition; Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Server, and Terminal Server Edition with Service Pack 6a; Windows 2000 Professional, Server, Advanced Server; Windows XP Home, Professional 32 MB RAM minimum 45 MB disk space Intel Pentium processor (Pentium II or higher recommended)

symantec/norton use metods outside ms apis for things like disk defrag since they know that ms frequently changes things that can cause things to get screwed up with thes methods they programed in a thing that tells you to make sure it is up to date so you don't unknowingly FuX up your system

if you are using a VIA chipset get the latest 4 in 1 drivers just fixed up a via system and it was working like crap until the latest 4 in 1s were installed

Quote: Using a copy of Windows 2000 Server w/ SP3 integrated install. I have only the Common Files, FTP Server and Internet Services Snap-In installed in Internet Information Services in Windows Component Add/Remove. I have one ftp server setup and created and functioning well. My cable modem connection is 128kbps (16KB/s) upload so I was wanting to limit this to (12KB/s) not to hog all the bandwidth to the other computers on the router are free to do other things. I have checked the enable bandwidth throttling option however the server continues to use max bandwidth, I have attempted to restart the service and even rebooted but still seems to use max upload. I've tried google and ms.com but this topic seems to be poorly documented or Im just not looking in right place. Are additional components needed for bandwidth throttle to function correctly? well if you are using the ftp to have peeps dl from you then you should set the trottle to 16k or less cause they are dowloading from you so u are uploading if you set the trottle to 128k which is more than your upload cap then obviously it will exceed max bandwith of your network before the trottle.

if the dlls and paths exist in 2k why not copy them off of a 2k install into the same locations in xp then if there are some reg settings try to export them from 2k and inport them to xp hope this helps i have done thing like this in the past to get apps working so it may work for you

Quote: Anyone looking forward to the Need For Speed title, I know I am, I just hope that the PC version will be similar in terms of features to the Playstation 2 version. Oh by the way EA, I hope you make it run properly under Windows 2000, unlike Porsche Unleashed and High Stakes. You dirty [insert whatever you want here] http://www.needforspeed.com you can get nfs 5 woiking on win2k and xp no problem there is an app compat fix for it

fat32 is prone to corruption

run scan disk or chkdsk on the partition that you have 98 on

Quote: What's that? he thought it was funny that you didn't know what he was talking about
