I have finally gotten Live 2k1 to work properly on Windows XP Build 2428.. Thanks in part to this post on the nba-live forums page.. By kinkin (Kinkin) on Thursday, March 01, 2001 - 15:11: Edit i did more tests on it, and now is all good it works on my pc at least what i have done is i had nbalive 2k installed before i installed nbalive 2k1 just FYI installed paths are C:gamesEA SPORTSNBA Live 2000 C:gamesEA SPORTSNBA Live 2001 that might not matter, but do install them using the same cd-rom (so that with same drive letter) and enable auto-run on that cd-rom ok, put in your nba2k cd and it will auto run CLICK PLAY BUTTON on the auto-run menu then SOMEHOW, it will load NBA2k1 instead ! (at least for me) then it will load intro, and then pass the intro and load the menu, again, if you get dark graphics, you just have to lower the texture level, playing nba2k1 on win2k! (before you actually in the gameplay, you have to put your nba2k1 cd back! or it will freeze!!) the above steps should work if you fully installed the nba2k1 files from the cd-rom, so it won't search for the nba2k1 cd when loading the starting menu) other people might not need to do those to play it on win2k, but it seems this is ONE of the way that can load the game, under the most IMPOSSIBLE situation. **Provided**: using the above video driver settings etc. feel free to ask me if you don't know what i'm talking about, please confirm this method really works on all pc, too GOOD LUCK Initially his recommendations didn't work at all.. but I went to gamecopyworld and downloaded -fdxn2k1p.zip- replaced the exe file.. At that point once I launched I'd never get to the menu.. I'd never see the theme song at all. It would just crash back to the desktop. So i decided to run it in compatibility mode.. I selected Win98, launched it again and now it works great... My results do differ from KinKin, I don't need to launch from the 2000 CD. I'm now becoming doubtful that 2000 is really needed at all. But I have played full games and the Textures and everything else are fine if not better then WinME. I hope u guys will be able to get yours working as well.... ------------------------------------------ My Specs ATI Radeon 32 DDR Athlon 650MHZ 196 Megs of Ram Maxtor 15GB Hardrive Western Digital 4GB Hardrive HP 9100 CD-RW BDV DVD Rom Drive Internal Zip Drive External Jaz Drive

I had a similar problem with my cd's. First check the way your CD Writing software is handling long file names. If the names are allowed to be left default and not shorten, the setup will miss files. It took me 3 cds to get it right. But know the setup runs without any problems. I hope this helps

I think you guys need to calm down. jdulmage is my friend and is a good person. I think you need to put a side your petty little problems and focus on what this message board was created for. It really doesn't matter what you think of someone, who cares. All the added crying about previous posts just takes up space. So please just focus on the os.

Hey guys don't flame me please.... Whats the difference between Whistler and Neptune builds. I'd really like to know if anyone has Neptune running on there system currently thanx.

Maybe someone can help me out. I've installed whistler 2257, and I tried to install my Dual Strike software and it keeps telling me i need admin rights. I checked in the user accounts panel and it lists me as a owner instead of admin. Can someone please help me out with this thanx alot.

hey meek, I suggest you try the voodoo5 drivers for win2000. I've both seen and confirmed that these drivers are better then the new ones released for the v3 3000. Try it out for yourself.

I have found this bios upgrade causes serious problems with windows 2000. It seems that if you remove a internal device i.e. a video card and reinstall it with drivers not included with windows it will not install properly. The driver will install but after a reboot no changes are saved. This is including screen res. My System Specs Mobo.........Iwill VD133 Processor.... P2 350 Video........

I have the same problem and I'm not a newbie. I'm using build 2195 of Windows 2000. I receive errors anytime I try to run the nfs 4 installer.
