I can't seem to get MSN to sign in very often since I did the upgrade to 6.1. I'm running Windows 2000. I didn't want to upgrade and I knew better, but I didn't want to see the message pop up telling me to upgrade everytime I opened MSN. And I was going to download Windows Messenger, but version 4.7 only works on XP!!! Can anyone tell me if there is a fix or where I can find an older version of either program? I've tried "Repairing" MSN Messenger and also uninstalled it and reinstalled it.

Ok, I found the fix. Did it last night and it started working right away. So far it's been working, keeping my fingers crossed. http://www.askmarvin.ca/forums/index.php?showtopic=476

Quote: fdisk will make your parititon the full size no problem. Microsoft made disk management unable to format fat32 larger than 32 Gig. This is artificial limit built into windows 2000/XP. No way around it except to use Fdisk. It's really sleazy the way m$ did it too, it makes you wait until 99% then says" too big" filthy rotten scum........ I love windows too, but these artificial limitations m$ builds into things piss me off. Yea, I was just wondering about the full size being recognized as a partition with fdisk, I was just wondering if there was any artificial limit built into it, but I assume not. I use NTFS now anyways. Typically I run fdisk, create a full sized partition and then format it with the Windows 2000 disk in NTFS.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit system unless they want to try and screw us all over. We can run 8 and 16 bit programs on 32 bit Windows.

Well it sounds like I don't need a registry hack if I fdisk the new hard drive to the full capacity and then reinstall fresh, which I would of course do anyways with a new drive. Are there any limitations now with fdisk regarding this?

This is a good topic for me as I have a 60 gig hard drive with W2K and a VIA chipset. I would assume I would need to buy a separate PCI hard drive controller card in order to get a bios to recognize the full size of say a 250-300gig drive. Anybody see any potential problems with this?

Try Hard Drive Tach and let us know what you get...I also have an A7V with Windows 2000. I have both of my hard drives hooked to the ATA/100 promise controller. I'm using a RAID bios and get from Sandra about what it says I should be getting.

Stop playing video games, they all majorly suck nowadays and are oozing with gayness....and I do mean ALL. I saw the light about two years ago and haven't looked back.

Quote: At work I have a Logitech QuickCam (it says Connectix on it but I'm pretty sure they're identical) and Windows 2000 on a laptop and a desktop. On both machines, I can't get either Logitech's or random drivers I've found to work. Any help with drivers? The FCC ID of the cam is LKD4. I have a refurbished Logitek Quickcam that I bought off of someplace recommended on techdeals about six to eight months ago. The CD that came with the camera had version 5.something and gave me a BSOD when I tried to use it so I went to the website and downloaded like 6.1 or something and haven't had a problem since. The picture quality is sucky, but hey I payed about $18 for it with shipping so what can you expect? It does the job.

Seems ok, though I wasn't having any problems before I installed it either.

Where can I get a SP3 RC? I'm about to check Edonkey and WinMX, but please post if there is a direct download site.

I worked technical support for Gateway 2000 several years ago and there were numerous idiots everyday. The two that stick out in my mind are the one that asked me, "If I unplug the computer will I lose everything?" and the idiot that couldn't find the letter "S" key on his keyboard. Who knows what the hell he was looking at.

Quote: guiness for beer (althought a good dark ale will do) and gin (Bombay Blue Saphire) for liquor. I hope you're not talking about Guiness Foreign Extra Stout, that stuff tastes like soy sauce! Looks like it too. I assume you mean Guiness Draught. It's ok, but the stuff is pretty weak. Quote: Originally posted by CyberGenX Upset! Just found out I have an ulcer, can no longer drink my favorite beer, heineken. Well I can drink, but the result is a toilet bowl full of blood. Heineken? Major skunk beer! Though, sometimes strangely enough I get into the mood to have one. Ulcers suck dude. I had one a little over a year ago. A peptic ulcer I think is what they called it. Basically what happened is I went to sleep one night at about 11:00 right after eating a huge dinner. Woke up with stomach pains and it progressively got worse over about 2-3 weeks until I was even having pain while standing up. I took some medication that lessens the amount of acid produced by your stomach for about 3 weeks and it was gone. Yes, I drank alcohol while I was taking them. Oh well. I did have problems from time to time for about six months afterwards, but it finally totally went away about 8 months ago.

My favorite American beer is probably Samuel Adams Summer Ale as I love a good hefeweizen. I love the Belgian stouts, bocks, and trapists. I drink alot of Westvleteren and Spaten Optimator. I also enjoy the maibocks very much.

Quote: I played the Max Payne Demo at 15-20... Hehe, why? I didn't even know you could set a monitor below 50Hz. Must look real weird.

Try Abit's latest official drivers rather than the detonators. And get This to fix your 60Hz refresh rate in 3D applications. I don't know how you can play at 60Hz that would kill my eyes. I always play Counterstrike/Day of Defeat at 100Hz 1024X768. I hope that fixes it. I've had Windows 2000 for over 2 years now. Since I got it I've had a Voodoo Banshee, Geforce 256, Geforce 2 Ti, and now a Geforce 4 440mx card. I've never had the problem that you both seem to have.

Need more info, video card, operating system, drivers version etc. Try upgrading your drivers...or if you're running detonators try the official version or other versions. I don't think this should have anything to do with your refresh rate, unless your whole desktop is changing shape. How are your icons screwed up?

You play too many games concil = console ?

I don't think that the Geforce 2 Mx will enable sidebanding because it probably doesn't have the need. I have an Asus A7V mainboard with the KT-133 chipset (Socket A) and the detonator drivers enable AGP 4X (Fastwrites), but AGP 2X (Sidebanding) is never turned on. I originally had a 16MB Voodoo Banshee AGP card and it would never turn on 2X, but then I got a Leadtek Geforce 32MB and when I installed the drivers both 2X and 4X were shown as on. I then had a Geforce 2 Ti 64MB for a few months and only 4X would come on. I now have a Geforce 4 Mx 440 64MB and still only 4X is on. I use WCPUID also to see the results.

I heard the same thing about Windows 2000 not being able to detect it and that it's default is also 256kb. I have a Duron 700 and I believe the cache is 96kb? So what should I set mine too in Windows 2000?

I had the NAV 2002, but after using it for a month I got a bug in which it would no longer do a full system scan. It would give me an Internet Explorer 'script error' everytime I tried to run one. I have IE 6 with all the latest patches. I did the fix prescribed on Norton's website to no avail. I have Windows 2000 SP2. I'm mostly convinced (but not certain) that the bug manifested itself because of me previously having NAV 2001. I typically don't have any problems with programs, so when I do, it is easily memorable for me. Also I just found it to be way to annoying (especially when I was on 56K connection) to make it worthwhile. It seemed as though it would send all of my emails twice and it would just take forever over that connection. I began using Corp. Edition and I like it much better. No more 'I'm smarter than you' crap from the program. It reminded me more of NAV 2001 which I had previously to 2002. After I put on 2002 I wished I had just stayed with 2001. I'm happy with NAV Corp. Ed. it does all that I want it too. NAV 2001 has caught a few viruses for me in the past, and NAV Corp Ed. caught one for me several months ago while I was surfing a ***** site. Just for the record I do not have a slow computer either.

Unless he has already has a KT133 motherboard that he doesn't want to replace or can't replace theres little point in persisting with that POS. That's what I was assuming...why else would he ask about one?

Yes, it does support it and it's well worth it. I'll get back to you with some links on how to set the clock multiplier by closing processor bridges because right now I'm at work. Also if you're running an Asus A7V you will need AT LEAST bios 1008 or higher.
