Quote: so i don't know what sev's problem is, but its not sp2s fault. quite frankly sp2 hasn't caused me and turmoil and hopefully fixed probs i didn't know about before. It is SP2's fault. Quote: STi Steve-I have a great way to save the 22megs of IExploder ram wastege: run "IEradicator 2000" from www.98lite.net . On first boot, with nothing running, Win2000 uses about 15megs less RAM then when IE is installed. Then use Opera the 5.11 browser. 'eh!? No way! IE 5.01 SP2 is the only browser for me

Funny, no problems here. Except 2 IE problems 1 is a reproducable I call "99% Memory " IE bug and the other is a 99% memory for taskmanager. Annoying as hell, but doesn't happen often, sooo

Here's a reason why I uninstalled Sp2

Man o ****ing Man.. IE 5.01 SP2 HANDS DOWN

Nero Nero Nero

Another vote for W2k

The file name is "devldr32.exe" and it massively slows down the startup process. (by 8-10 seconds!!!) I took the file out and put it in my desktop. The sound still works good, however AUDIOHQ.exe and all those creative files dont work also the bad thing, I can't use my LIVE! drive (for my headphones) so im stuck with this rotton "devldr32.exe" file ;( anyone know anything i can do ? Creative Ring3 NT Inteface

Silent, Make sure your drivers are WHQL Certified, especially the SB LIVE! drivers. Apply all patches, especially the "AMD AGP Miniport driver"

miku. Get the detonator 3 drivers from www.nvidia.com OR the WHQL Certified 6.34 drivers from microsoft. good luck -sev

uhh PsychoSword, The Nv20 will cost more than 1k$ or close

Tell me more about this setupreg.hiv

miku, Use TweakUI There is an option in there to deselect the option you want. Maybe it can retain the settings.

Download "Xteq 5.7" and unclick "Windows File Protection". Restart. Delete file. Open X-teq again, and reinstate Windows File Protection. Restart. Your done.

Good LORD. Fucking thing made ALL my office applications unopenable... grrr

After contacting Microsoft Technical Support I finally figured it all out. It IS indeed a pirated serial number; however, the cd used is geniune microsoft. When I installed this program before on my computer I misplaced the cd case and therefore had to use a pirated one. After searching my house for the real cd-key I uninstalled o2k and installed it with my cd-key Now if anyone can figure out a workaround that stupid extension (example .lnk/.exe files are blocked and there are no choices in the matter) I will be VERY impressed if someone can find a workaround; perhaps a registry hax0r? Why does my install still say SR-1?

Perform necessary bios changed for stability. Probably need to disable AGP 4x and or sidebandding and fast writes. (Probably not necessary but I'm haven't been keeping up with Via mobo's lately) 5. Download Microsoft Via AGP fix. Dosfreak, I'm not running VIA. I lowered AGP 4x to AGP 1x, i disabled fast write,had directx7a, then directx8, athlon 800mhz w/ Asus K7M Mobo, running 6.3.1 Official Det. Drivers and yet I STILL get low numbers in 3dmark. A lot of my friends told me it's win2k, since most of them are running pretty much identical setup as mine, except windows 98. :::How'se that for 'proving words' (not directed to u dosfreak) [This message has been edited by STi Sev (edited 01 December 2000).]

CM, I used THAT one too. More errors.

jdulmage, I don't pirate software; stop making stupid accussations. I'm running a *legit* copy of Office 2k and sp2 totally ruined office 2k software package. I reinstalled, and now everything is fine. I'm leaving it this way.

Just kidding. God, when is this delicious OS gonna come out already!?!!>!>!

I've been on a real ISP for the last 7 years. hehe Dumb***. The only thing that was "unsupported" btw was the 3dmark score.
