Excuse my ignorance, but how can a software firewall be better then a hardware one ? hmm ? IMO, there is no need for a firewall, these so called personal firewalls are just hype. All you need is a good router that is setup properly. --Cynan.

FYI: Attune comes with GetRight I believe. --Cynan.

Tool, Options, Maintenanace, Store Folder... that will tell you where your messagges are kept, either change it to another drive, where all your messages will then be moved, or copy the whole directory. You could also use File, Export, Messages, but everytime I've ever tried that, I've had trouble importing them back. --Cynan.

I too have the crashing and brightness problems. The brightness thing is a known problem and is described in the readme (either v1 or v1.1). As for the crashing, well... It only happens on my dedicated server. I'm currently using the same CD key for both that, and the local client that I connect to it... can that be the problem ? do you need two keys (does the server require one) ? --Cynan

Try installing NetBIOS/BEUI, thats what Windows uses for its file sharing. --Cynan. [This message has been edited by Cynan (edited 17 January 2001).]

Hi ! Yeah, looking at WinRoute Pro now, it says that it has a firewall built-in.. is that any good ? do you really need another on top of that ? Thanks. --Cynan.

I'd say it would... don't quote me on that though. --Cynan.

I have the following on the PSU in question and it works fine... Abit VP6, Dual Intel Pentium III 800EBs (cB0), 2x128MB PC133 RAM (Generic), 10.2GB Seagate U10 HD (ATA-66), 30.0GB Seagate U5 HD (ATA-100), 2.0GB Seagate (SCSI), Creative 32x CD-ROM Drive, Yamaha CRW4260T CD-RW (SCSI), Creative GeForce2 GTS, Creative SoundBlaster Live! Platinum, Accton Cheetah EN1207D-TX/WOL 10/100Mb/s Netword Card, Diamond Multimedia SuperExpress 56i PRO, Adaptec 2910AU SCSI Controller Card. -Cynan.

Hi... a friend of mine has this controller and it trying to find a driver for 2K, does anyone know of any ? one that will enable you to use all of its functions ? Thanks. --Cynan.

lol.. in your dreams ! :-P.. shame there isn't an online version eh. --Cynan.

Yay !!! it works perfectly with my new motherboard (Abit VP6 with Dual 800EBs) !. Apparently some Gigabyte boards don't supply enough power or something to the AGP card and that causes problems.. dunno. --Cynan.

You could also try Mercury at www.pmail.com. --Cynan.

*sigh*. It works with the accelerated features turned down and thats it. Turning them up just causes my system to crash upon reboot. Looks like a new m/b.. :-/ --Cynan.

Yes I did. However, I've just read on another BB that someone with similar problems fixed it by running the card at 1X. I'm going to try that later. The date of the lastest drivers for 2K is 12/07/2000 (dd/mm/yyyy - for non-5.1 cards) and you only need the drivers - though I doubt you would beable to use the older live!ware apps with the new ones. --Cynan.

Hey.. I figured it out !! I uninstalled the SB drivers, and then turned down the graphics cards accelerated features (under the troubleshooing section on the graphics cards properties page). Next step to install the latest Live!Ware drives and see if it still works ok. --Cynan.

I have the same problem ! all the cut scenes are like that. Half-life plays really fast too ! I think its to do with the SB Live and the GeForce conflicting, either that or the GeForce and the Motherboard. My system is (relevant bits): AMD K6-2 450MHz, Gigabyte GA-5AZ M/B, 192MB PC100 SDRAM, SB Live!, Creative GeForce2 GTS, Adaptec 2190U (I think) SCSI card, Generic 10/100Mb/s NIC. I'm upgrading it soon though and hope that'll sort out the problem. It really is annoying to go through the game without seeing the cut scenes. Anybody out there that can help us ?? --Cynan.

Erm... VIA chipsets you say ? My board has an ALI chipset. To give a bit more info. on my problem, if I use DirectX in Q3, I get nothing but a black screen. A friend on mine gets this too with his TNT2. I have yet to try removing the SB Live! card to see if that fixes the problem - I will do, and report back my findings. If anyone has any further suggestions, they'd be most welcome. --Cynan.

Strange thread... still.. anyone ever heard of an Osboune (I think that what it is) ? One of the first 'portable' computers - not ! The kb flips down on the front to reveal two 5 1/4" floppy drives and a tiny tiny lil monitor. --Cynan.

I agree, however, I have a similar problem and would very much apprieciate any help. The only significant difference to my system, is that I current have an AMD K6-2 450 and a Gigabyte GA-5AX motherboard. I did read somewhere that the GeForce cards and SoundBlaster Lives conflicted... anyone heard anything about this ? I also know that if you use Creative's drivers rather then Nvidia's, the exception is no longer caused in the nv4_disp.dll but the kernal32.dll instead. Any suggestions ? --Cynan.
