i prefer zoomplayer, even though it takes some configuring, mainly because its very stable, and has more options than you can shake a stick at.

and why would disabling apci let your cpu be cooler? id like to see that

try turning on dma instead of pio, through devicemanager -> ide channels

hellu, im looking for a shell/shellenhancement for win2k that´ll either let me replace or add functionality to the win2k shell in the following way : id like (just like in linux) the ability to rightclick on my desktop and choose my programs from there, ie you get a menu just like the startmenu only its not fixed to one spot (thx a lot for that one ms ;-) plz dont tell me bout other shells like litestep etc that dont do the trick according to my specs thx in advance / nagual

when i try to defrag my d: it says 'Engine Connection lost' but i can defragment all my other partitions. hd1 : c:\ and d:\ hd2 : g:\ and f:\ all defragment fine except d:\ any ideas ?

hm, since ive been hacking/tweaking my machine as much as i could, and im also curious as how to my machine compares to others id like to compare q3 fps in timedemo four.dm_66 in q3 1.30. ive got 310 fps, and about 390 when i disable my fortissimo 2 in devicemanager. i use 800x600 in 16 bit color, with a lot of tweaks in my config.

i would really need a program that records regentries made by programs during their install, much like the older versions of cleansweap, and adds all those regentries to a file. thx in advance

lol

first, messing with your mbr cannot delete everything on the harddisk(s). second, you can prolly fix this by booting your win2k cd, choosing repair, choosing which installation, and going to the recovery console where you type 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr', that could do the trick for ya. btw, find it unclear whether you can boot the system as a whole or not, and av does take some recources, especially if you scan the master boot record.

if nonstock is good enough for ya, you might want to try and check out pstools @ www.sysinternals.com which includes psshutdown (can also reboot)

actually, i know what it was now :-) i had a LOT of entrys in my hosts file to point adservers towards localhost, and when accessing it, it took 100% cpu (while dialing) but thx anyway for the help :-)

ok, i have an asus cusl2 w. 700@970 (fsb around 140) and win2k sp2 dx 8.0a, with a gf2 gts (creative) w. 6.31 drivers. this problem started when i started turning som services off, now, whenever i use my isdn to dialup a conenction tskmgr says that services takes 100% cpu, and it takes about 45 seconds for it to connect, which, needless to say, is quite annoying. i have tried to put on all services back the way they where from the start, without success. i was wondering 1.) could anyone post a list on all services that are set to 'automatic' on a default win2k install, or 2.) any idea on what this prob could be all about? it started before i installed sp2. thx in advance

thx
