Does anyone why outlook express 6 in WinXP Pro takes so long to start up? It takes almost 2 minutes...

YES! Thats the solution, thank you DanteP! And thanks all of you who has replied!

No, i dont use hotmail, i didnt had this trouble with win2k. And my girlfriend has the same problem! Were sharing internet connection on her computer!

No, it didnt help. And besides that was for win9x, not XP!

Well, i dont know if im stupid but i dont see supercache as trial download just ramdisk and superspeed!!!

I cant find the supercache trial download for win2k only superspeed

Try a standard ata 33 ide cable instaed of the ata 100 ide cable, since win2k doesnt support ata 100 until sp2. Or call microsoft to get the pre-sp2 hotfix for ata100 support

I have now tried 6.18, 6.27 and 6.31 detonators in win2k and most games just freeze the computer when starting them! I have a tnt card, and all older drivers has worked without a problem, its just these 6.xx that seems to be major mistake... Or is there anything i can do, im now running the 5.32 drivers and they work just fine!

Ok, Thank you all for your help, i changed the agp aperture size and that seemed to help, but i shall also flash the videocard bios! Thanx!

My system spec: Aopen Ax6bc Millennium Edition Mb(Bx chipset) P3 500@560 Mhz 256 Mb Ram Stb Velocity 4400 (Tnt1) Video adapter Ibm deskstar 13,5 Gb 7200 Rpm Hd Promise Ultra ata 100 Ide controller Adaptec 2902E Scsi adapter Aopen 52x Cdrom Matsu****a Cdr (scsi) Cnet 10/100 Mb Network adapter Soundblaster Live Value with Lw 3

I cant change the resolution i colin mcrae, or more precisely i can change to 800*600 but the game still plays in 640*480 when checking the monitors osd!

Well, This is my hardware setup: Aopen Axbc Pro II Millennium Edition (bx chipset) P3 500@560 256 Mb RAM Stb Velocity 4400 (Tnt1)with 5,32 drivers Creative soundblaster live with Lw 3 Ibm Deskstar 7200 Rpm 13,5 Gb Adaptec 2902 Scsi for cdr Matsushita cdr Pioneer cdrom Promise Ultra Ata 100 Ide controller Win2k Sp1 And the latest Appcompat files! Aoe2 and the conquerors expansion works just fine! When i reinstall videodrivers i use nvidias uninstall program, + that i search for nv*.* and delete those files,if you try this just make sure you dont have any other files beginning with nv. If you have a Nvidia based videocard then you could try changing agp aperture size in your bios! good rule of thumb, according to microsoft is half of your ram!

I have the same problem with H&D, and i think there is some bug in the 6.18 drivers, try to change to 5.32 0r 5.22!

Aoe 2 works in win2k! But not with nvidias 6.18 drivers, at least not with velocity 4400 (tnt 1). I have had the same problem with aoe 2 locking up at the start, it does not hang every time, but very often. After installing 6.18 drivers several games stopped working, soldier of fortune, aoe 2, hidden and dangerous etc. So ihave returned to 5.32 and all is well again. dont know exactly what the problem is but there seems to be problems with both d3d and opengl.

I have a tnt card, yeah i know time to upgrade!!! I cant run hidden and dangerous after installing detonator 3 in win2k pro sp1, the first screens are ok but last one where you hand out the weapons to all the guys, is just black!!It worked great before!!!

The right way should be, hook up your drives to the hp controller in. When the blue win2k installation screen turns up hit f6 and install the driver for your hp controller. then after the first reboot you must change boot sequence in bios so that it starts with scsi!

Why does it take so long time for win2k pro, to browse the network? Have a 100 MBit network using tcp/ip and netbeui! It takes far more longer time than in win98/winnt4, with the same hardware. Does anyone have a suggestion?

A bug huh!! well that makes sense since the problem occurs no matter what protocol i use! Thank you all for your replies!
