I take it most of you guys have gotten Whistler through other means then? How many of you have legal copys of pre-release versions of this upcoming MS OS? I know I didn't get build 2250 from MS, that's for sure. Please don't post anything that'll close this thread though (aka, W4r3Z). Feel free to IM me on ICQ though, or email if you have some info that you may not be comfortable posting. Time to watch Heavy Metal now, later. ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

I can install the game just fine, but when I go to play it, to start a new game, It asks for the cd! I thought it was because it wasn't in the firt CD drive, but when i changed the drive letters it still didn't work! Even after a restart! grrrrrr Any ideas? ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

I'll go through the story so everyone understands When I installed the game I had 2 cdroms, and it installed just fine, I installed it from the second one (windows reversed my cdrom letters for some reason...) and it all worked fine, but it wouldn't let me play for lack of cd. I tried palyign in both cds, nothing. I tried unplugging one cd, then the other, still nada. I uninstalled the game, and reinstalled, it worked fine. Before i operated on the BP6, it woudl restart at random points, and it did just that during the first install, and fuxored it up I guess. I dunno. Both drives are now plugged in and it's running fine, I also changed the letters back to the proper way (stupid windows change my drive leters!) ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

Ah thanx, now I know! ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

I'm sure I will feel dumb when I realize the answer, but what is CCP? ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

It's quite possible you got a bad copy, or it being stratched could have the same effect as well. ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

What do you mean 9x mode vs NT mode? Sounds like two OSes... I've not heard anything about that! What's the latest version of Whistler anyways? Anything newer than 2257? ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

Have you tried reinstalling Dx7? That might help ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

RA2 is out now?! I'm getting it on the weekend! Knew it was soon, was not expecting it until the 28th though... ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

Well it was touch and go for a while but the patient is doing good, running table. It was hard, the cap didn't wanna come out, then the foils lifted, almost off, was lucky they didn't. It's all good now though! Plus I'll be getting my golden orbs soon, everything is finally coming together! ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

One V1.1 motherboards many of hte EC10 capacitors (top, near the sockets) is fualty. It regulates one of the lines of current (5v I think, or maybe 3.3v), and when it doesn't work right, the system like sto restart at random points in time, with no reason! ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

No that I've changed the fualty capacitor on the BP6 no more random restarts are goign to happen! Expecially not whilst I install games! ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

I actually did buy it so unfortunatly you are wrong. I'll keep that in mind though for the occasional game I do download! The install had died before, and something died. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it and now it works perfectly

Eventually the programs that ONLY work in Win9x will be out dated, and all new software is made with NT support in some capacity. WinME is the last Win9x OS, everything is NT from here on in boys! The main reason Whistler will have more support than Win2k is because more developers will have written more NT compatible software by the time it is released. ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

Very cool ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base & JJR512.com Co-Administrator. XiBase/JJR512 Activelist: 83320323 "I don't know how I got here, I was only looking for the washroom."

I know Win2k will run with 32mb, thought I don' tknow if it will run on a 166. You best bet in the NT line would be NT4... ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base Webmaster; JJR512.com Co-Administrator. Xi Base/JJR512 ActiveList: 83320323.

Win2k doesn't have a any real installation options. You can remove a FEW things after it's installed, but nothing major. ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base Webmaster; JJR512.com Co-Administrator.

We will see then... ------------------ brainsoft, Xi Base Webmaster; JJR512.com Co-Administrator. Xi Base/JJR512 ActiveList: 83320323.
