    nvidia drivers for XP

    don't the 22.50's cause aftefacts in unreal tournament for any of you?i had problems with them-like once every second or so something strange would pop up,sort of like torn textures,so i went back to 21.88! shame since they were noticably faster. the card is a msi geforce2 pro (not oc-ed)
  4. i dont use the fancy one,its the same one as in win.2000! i guess its just a reg hack to point to a .theme file,but i haven't got a clue where to start looking,so please help me out!
  5. ok i'll try that too.thanx i found this: hkey_users\.default\control panel\colors hkey_users\.default\control panel\desktop hkey_users\.default\control panel\desktop\window metrics hkey_users\.default\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\thememanager but i just cant seem to get the same look as "inside".i don't want to do anything complicated-just no luna and the colors to be same as in win.2000.and i'm half way there,with stopped themes service and some of the colors set the way i want it...

    recycle bin icon

    recycle bin icon

    Quote: Strange.... works fine changing it that way here... yeah i know that now. i was changing the full bin icon and mine was empty (how stupid is that),and then i changed them both to the 2000 ones-ripped out the shell32.dll from the 2000 cd,pointed towards it and that wouldnt work,so finaly i opened reshacker and saved the win 2000's rec.bin icons and its fine. now if only the taskbar rising animation was here...

    mouse acting like crazy!

    it skips,preses every button,scrolls on its own-but only when i move it around. fist i uninstalled intellipoint-the problem was still there,so i reinstalled them-the mouse stopped responding,then i turned off the fast initialiation thing from dev mngr,and when i rebooted it seemed to me as the problem was gone,but the mouse wasnt recognized correctly and i couldnt use the 4-th/5-th button in explorer i thaught maby it could be ie 6 that was fücking it up,so i did a clean install(there was a lot of crap anyway),but the problem is still here,only now it seems to be more fond on the right mouse button and this started happening about a week ago,the only things i remeber doing about that time are installing ie 6-this isnt a problem now since i went back to 5.5 sp1,and upgrading the firmware on my cdrom-could this be the problem? almost forgot-the mouse is intellimouse web(yeah its not the optical one) and its on ps2 directly(no usb=>ps2 adapters),the mobo is asus p2b(latest oficial bios i think),and the os is win 2000 sp1

    mouse acting like crazy!

    right now the ones that come with win 2000,and the mouse works _allmost_ normally (no 4,5 buttons) with the "fast initialisation" check-box unchecked,so you might wanna try that

    Can`t get Win2k CD with integrated SP2 to work.

    that didnt take very long Quote: I haven't figured out how to slipstream directx into the win2k install cd, but you can make the installation automatically run by adding these two lines to your winnt.sif file: [GuiRunOnce] "D:\I386$OEM$$1\directx\dx80nteng.exe /Q" Of course, change the path to wherever your directx binary is located. the "/Q" allows it to run without asking for any input. I have no idea where I got that from
