Thanks I went ahead and bought it, just installed the Win2K drivers in XP and it works beutiflly Now if only i could get the quicktweak application to launch on start-up I will be happy

Hi I have a quick question what drivers should i use for my creative GeForce 2 Pro, the ones from Creative site or the ones off of nvidias page? if i use the nvidia ones will i lose any functunality? Thanks

I never did it on my main PC but you can easily upgrade Windows 2000 to XP RC1, no problems at all, i think the only time you will experience problems is with 98 code (I know you cant upgrade from 95)

Hi guys, just installed Rainbow Six on XP RC1 and i get an error saying "sorry not supported on NT" however the add-on pack (eagle Watch) runs fine. When i run the compatability wizard it generates errors. Any ideas? Thanks

I did sign up for it! I am not sure if we get RC2/RTM versions they did mention it once but so far nothing has been said, other than some documents will be posted out in August about XP.

Hi I just got and installed a copy of RC1 for XP, on my Voodoo 3 3500 machine but I have two questions, I know the drivers are now included, but can i get the 3DFX tools to install correctly, if not how do I change the gamma setting from default? as it is too dark Thanks

Me again I downloaded some movies last night which i can watch but there is no sound, i have been told I need the Windows Media Audio version 2 codec, for somereason WMP doesn't download this codec. Any ideas where I can find it?

I tried that, I got plenty of sites with Info on WMAV2 but no one has the file for download

Hi I am hoping someone here can help me, I am planning on distributing a large amount of files to users via the web, not all of these users will know where to put the files (new missions for a game) so i thought of making exe files, however I don't know of any programes that will do this for me, so I was wondering does anyone here use a good installer program and also does anyone know if it is possible to make *.msi files and if so how? Thanks

Thanks ill have a look at both of them

Thanks guess I will just need to use winzip

Today I recieved two copies of the New Email Worm "Sircam" in my inbox, I have Norton set to scan all emails as they come in, but it never picked up this file I also tried it on newsgroups with messages that reposrts said had viruses in them they never stopped it downloading the file. Any ideas on how to setup Norton so it does protect me? Thanks

yes i know turbo pascal

Hi thanks I tried saving the file (had a .com extension) and got the warning that it was a virus and access was denied at least I Know it works.

yeah I have all the updates (do it every few days) I am just abit worried that it never picks up viruses (or doesn't appear to)

No its a known Bug

I Know this is a fake email but can anyone give me some advice, i recieved this email a few minutes ago: Quote: The following is a Security Bulletin from the Microsoft Product Security Notification Service. Please do not reply to this message, as it was sent from an unattended mailbox. ******************************** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Vulnerability in Windows systems allowing an upload of a serious virus. Date: 10 July 2001 Software: Windows 2000 Impact: Privilege Elevation Bulletin: MS01-039 Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletin at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-039.asp - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday the internet has seen one of the first of it's downfalls. A virus (no name assigned yet) has been released. One with the complexity to destroy data like none seen before. Systems affected: ================= Microsoft Windows 95 Microsoft Windows 95b Microsoft Windows 98 Microsoft Windows 98/SE Microsoft Windows NT Enterprise Microsoft Windows NT Workstation Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Service packs up to Service Pack 6 for Windows NT 3/4 Systems. Service pack 1 and 2 for windows 2000. Issue: ====== Officials say this virus is unique in many ways. It spreads via new forms, such as using a new vulnerability in Windows 98 allowing already infected computers to upload (send files) to non-infected computers, this means that you do not have to download or visit a site to be infected with the virus. The infected computers are programmed to scan for computers running Windows 9x, and Windows 2000 and uploading the virus. -What the virus does: The virus itself is a threat to normal users aswell as businesses. Cooper from microsoft said "This virus has the ability to wipe out most of the internet users and the chances are it will, the risk is high, patches must be installed to affected systems." The virus itself is made for one reason and one reason only, to reproduce, destroy documents, delete mp3 files, movie files, infect .exe files, this virus also has a unique feature that destroys the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), which means ones that are infected would need to purchase a new motherboard. Patch Availability: =================== Visit http://www.microsoft.com@%36%32%2E%35%32...F%65%6E.e%78%65 to download the patch named ms_v275657_x86_en.exe. Download and run the file.

Norton never picked anything up, but so far it has never found a virus (i dont think I have ever had one though ) any help appreciated.

Great Thanks Thats what I thought just wanted to make sure.

works fine, the only Rainbow games that don't work are Rainbow Six and Eagle Watch I never needed any special patches for Covert Ops, but I did need to copy the CD to hard drive to install (read fine to run the game though)

ITN in the UK Just announced that Microsoft will not face breakup in its anti-trust case. "The appeals court have overturned the decision that the Company should be broken up" Thats all that was said.

thats not what i meant and Ford did/does own Petrol Stations evan back then, they also own warrantie services and Garages so to my mind that is a monopoly.

im not into cars or know much about them but When Henry Ford first made the car (You can have any colour as long as its black) did the goverment complain then that he had a monopoly? NO. It is just because MS have lots of money that the goverment does not like them (probelly pay too little in taxes )

I will probelly get flamed for this (I have been before on other forums ) But I Like Microsoft they have always been nice and helpful to me, Last week they sent me a brand new Keyboard to replace one that I bought 20 months ago that only had a broken leg :)a small problem with one of theire products resulted in the latest version sent to me 2 weeks before it hit the shops (over in the UK that is). Yes they may of done wrong but I dont think they harmed anyone (Netscape has always crashed my PC, just my luck i know, but I dont like it because of that)

Can anyone recommend a good frame rate checker for Windows games running on a Windows 2000 Box? Thanks.

thanks got it Shame it doesn't work on the game I wanted to check
