its weird cuz under computer management in win2k, under disk management i get just the c drive, but under the logical drives menu i get the zero size f partition as well. is there any simpler method of removing it? will partition magic do the trick, cuz i cant be bother to install linux! anyway thanks for the help guys, CyRUS64

its still going

on my tnt card is it a good idea to have v-sync on or off? which is fastest? thx in advance, CyRUS64

after i installed detonator 2 drivers, wintv would constantly crash - and when it didnt (and in earlier driver versions) there a was a thud noise whenever i changed channel. all of these problems have been fixed by merely reinstalling the win2k application and drivers! CyRUS64 www.boob.co.uk

it is true that win2k comes with dx7 - the emulator in question is nemu (www.nemu.com) when used with the adaptoid (www.wishtechnologies.com). To fix this problem, and any others that people have with usb joysticks you can overwrite the dinput.dll file for dx7 with the one from dx8 - you can find these files at www.myzar.com Hope this helps, CyRUS64 www.boob.co.uk

firstly for the dx7 files for win2k go to www.win2kworld.com and you'll find it under the download section. (probably in one of the archives) secondly here are my specs: p2-450 tnt 256mb ram latest nvidia 5.22 drivers has anyone tried dx8 on similar specs, and would they advise me to install it?

thanks a lot for the help guys, but dosfreak i have a couple more questions: 1)what files are for win98 only that are in the c:\ directory (id like to do a bit of spring-cleaning!) 2)the problem is is that i had tried disk management anyway but when i run that the f: drive does not exist! as i say it is of 0 size and cannot be opened in win2k. it does however appear in "my computer" and is used when i put a win98 boot disk into the drive on booting up. any more ideas- thx anyway, CyRUS64

cheers for the help but i think i miss explained the situation: basically i have a c: ntfs with my whole hard drive on - this has both win2k and win98 installed on it! how can i safely delete win98 without formatting the disk (i have ****loads of information that i can't backup ~12gb!) - can i just edit the boot.ini and delete c:\windows? secondly how can i delete the zero size drive which somehow was created - if i double click on it in win2k it says "F:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect" if i right click on it Type is local disk and file system is unknown, used + free space +capacity is zero! btw the first half is what i really need help with! thx in advance CyRUS64

my father in a moment of stupidity decided to reinstall win2k, without knowing what he was doing, and thus converted the c drive to ntfs! from then on win98 obviously would not work... anyhow i then tried to install win98 again by booting into dos with a boot disk but errors started occurring since i could not get onto the c drive and after rebooting again i was just left with a flashing _ in the top left of the screen. so after this i eventually worked out to run fdisk and select the c drive as the primary partition. things worked and i can now load up win2k again! however i am left with an f drive of 0 size in my computer - how can i remove this? secondly since i have win98 installed on a ntfs file system it obviously does not work, so could someone tell me how i can safely delete it? (i presume editing the boot.ini file and deleting the windows dir would do the trick- remember i cant load win98) finally is there a way without converting my c drive to fat32 of installing win98 onto another partition? thanks for the help, CyRUS64

thanks a lot for the help guys, should i re-install wintv every time the drivers are upgraded, also are there any ms certified drivers at all?

thanks a lot for the help guys

wouldnt use dx8, if i were you

I agree with the fact that nVidia should not have released these drivers as official as they are still very buggy. Secondly has anyone ever installed any drivers that have actually been microsoft certified? Anyway my problem is that having installed the Detonator 2 drivers (5.22), whenever i run hauppauge wintv, win2k drops to a blue screen of death, performs a memory dump, and takes about 3 days to reboot. Would the SOF fix do any use? (i dont really want to try it since others have had probs with it) thx in advance, CyRUS64 System specs are: P2-450 256mb ram TNT card CD-RW DVD drive 17gb hd 19in monitor printer/scanner/camera/video camera wintv primio w/latest drivers + software etc...

could you tell me where i might find these log files? also i presume its ok to delete them... cheers

i've also got a creative cdrw drive, and although nero works perfectly, prassi abcd (cdrw packet writing software) does not work. This was quite a cool prog cuz it was just drag'n'drop, like a disk etc... could someone direct me to some other software like this? Cheers, CyRUS64
