Do you have an nvidia card with the latest drivers installed? If so go into services and disable the nvidia driver help service. That usually causes the shutdown to hang.

Yeah blah blah blah nutscrape suX0rs. He was asking if it works try to be helpful next time instead of trying to be l337 m'kay. I downloaded and installed Netscape 6.1 because I know my users who will use XP in the future like Netscape and will use it and as a official beta tester it is the thing to do to test it.

It won't work natively in XP. It detects XP as not supported. Personally I won't run a program of this type unless it is natively supported. If you want it just do a search on google it will give the correct URL.

The current tweakUI works fine with XP.

I've never come across a website that doesn't work in NS 6.1.

Quote: XP is incompatible with NETBEUI which most win9x/Me/2k machines use to communicate over a network. First of all TCP/IP is what most MS machines use to communicate over a network. What year are you living in? Second NETBEUI is crap that adds too much latency to the network. Thank god MS is getting rid of it. How about next time you actually learn about an OS instead of spouting off falsehoods.

I mean c'mon a TNT2? You can get a really fast Athlon and mobo for cheap. Maybe for you consoles make sense but not for me.

In order to play Giants, you have to upgrade your video card.

1. Install Service Pack 1 you can get it in Windows Update that fixes a lot of gaming problems. 2. Get the latest W2K drivers for you vid card:http://www.reactorcritical.com/download.shtml (the 1.04 ones) 3. You can't install anything earlier than DirectX 7 (which is already inluced when you installed W2K) If the above don't work try installing Direct X 8 for W2K. Eddie314 grow up.

I have the same vid card as you and using the 6.47 drivers. I can tell you one: "The Longest Journey" Did you check the box that says "Force AA in all apps"

I heard it fixes the W2K AGP running at PCI speed bug. I have had it installed since it came out with no game problems and I had a 1500 3dmark improvement.

Yeah I just found out about vdmsound and I dumbed the pay program. Thanks for the heads up.

It's called soundfx http://www.softsystem.co.uk/page3.htm and it seems to work I was able to get sound in System Shock haven't tried any others yet. There is a shareware time limited version. pay for the full one.

Yeah I maxed out EMS/XMS and I am messing around with various auto and config.nt lines. If you do find out please let me know. [This message has been edited by Spaceman (edited 18 January 2001).]
