I heard there is a proggie for Win2k that allows you to use 2 mice (mouses) with their own seperate cursor each... Anyone know where I can get this?

New games that are Happily running on my W2K system this new year, 2K1. Alice Colin McRae Rally 2 Crimson Skies Gunman Hitman - Codename 47 Project IGI Monkey Island 4 Rune Red Alert 2 "Happy New Year" ... OriginalShadow

What's the deal with W2K and all these people who cannot install or play so many different games?? I have NEVER had a problem with ANY game that I have tried under W2K on my PC. I have only ever witnessed NFS5 not working on my dad's setup (works on mine)..., but this game seems to be the most common head scratcher. I am just puzzled by this .. I must just be extreeeeemly lucky ! . Now I'm off to play Project IGI .. which worked first go ! .. soz. OriginalShadow

I should have mentioned also ..., that we had quite a few complete races without a hitch. Due to the fact he did not get his car in front of mine during the whole race .. I always kick arse .. It was only when he got his nose slightly in front on the start that it started to happen .. OriginalShadow

I have same problem (well my dad does), but ... I have dug a little deeper and ... I know when "excactly" the game casues this (not why obviously) after some exprimenting. I notice some of you say that after the 3,2,1 it crashes .. well .. here's the thing. My computer (Win2k) does run NFS5 no probs (without deleting gimme.dll) and NEVER crashes, but my ol mans does. It did the above crashing a few times .., and my dad mentioned it did this when he planted his foot on the accelerator on the start line .. hmmm .. I got thinking .... It was not that the acceleration was causing it ... it was because he got his nose slightly in front of mine ... soooo .. to test this theory, I drove my car a few metres whilst he stayed stationary .. then he planted it ... the game did not crash until the second he overtook my car. ????? Very strange indeed .. I tried the above theory several times without fail (er .. with fail). Now, the only dif I could work out between his setup and mine is his gimme.dll had to be deleted for NFS5 to run, mine did not ... his crashes .. mine does not. (hardware wise, identical basically, except I have GeForce 2 GTS .. he has GeForce 2 Ultra) God I hope someone works out a fix ... OriginalShadow
