It owrks here with a shortcut in "startup". i'm using raspppoe also... Just put the connection from dial-up networking in startup.

I got excactly the same probs as "DavidJonesIGI" on my comp. It's the 7.58 that are whql. They are fast in opengl but suck in d3d. i prefer the 10.80's (thety seem the fastest for d3d on my computer). P3 800 EB Abit be6-2 256 mb ram pc133 hercules geforce ddr sblive value winme/win2k prof dualboot

I never got ics working on my network (i got 2 win2k machines linked together, one with pppoe dsl connection). i've been running sygate home network for a few months now and i love it. You should give it a try if you really can't figure out windows ics. Btw, netbeui is not required to run a network. i never use it, only tcp/ip should be installed on both machines. One important thing, you really want to have win2k as a server, i ran into a lot of probs when i used win98 as a host (windows randomly crashed, wouldn't shut down,...)

I tried 1.9 V, that's the max my mobo would give. I wanted to go higher tho But at 1.9 V you're safe

Make you pagefile smaller. I set it to 384 MB on my machine and nfs runs fine.

I agree with wiyot. I tried to run a 133fsb P3 800 on my abit be6-2 but the agp and pci busses get pretty high at that fsb. I had a lot of probs (agp= 2/3 * 133 and pci 1/4 * 133 which is both too high, but are the only settings on this mobo) + the memory always runs at the same speed as the cpu bus on this card, no way to put it at 100 MHz. So a P3 with a 100 Mhz bus is the way to go and you will be able to overclock this baby >< P3 at 133 almost not overclockable cuz of the ram and agp/pci bus.

Hi rmeek and Ekstreme, the fix you need is called F4DX. You can get it at following addess. Don't worry, the site is french, just look for F4DX and you're all set. Falcon 4 works great with it, no more crashes to the desktop after missions!!! Enjoy. Ohw another thing, for the voodoo error: delete the file "GR3DFX.MPR" in your main falcon dir and the error will be gone. http://spower.free.fr/falcon4/patch.htm [This message has been edited by rgodart (edited 26 March 2001).]

I agree, for games 98 of 98se is the best choice. You don't want all the bells and wistles Me has to offer.

Try sisoft sandra. You can find it on any download site, www.download.com, www.softseek.com,...

I had the same thought about a timeout setting in the registry, but i didn't find any info on the web. Yes, IE6 is still around. Go to http://www.m3dzone.com/files.php and there go to operating systems --> win2000 --> ie62411.zip Sorry i couldn't give you the full url to the download, they have some sort of protection against leech.

I got the problem too, unforunately i don't have a fix for it

My euh also **cough** **cough** yaknow of CMR2 works fine too here, also a little yerky because of d3d, but still very playable

I'm afraid creative is too lazy to make win2k drivers fot the sb128 (ct4700). i had to throw it out of my comp and replace it by de guillemot fortissimo (which is pretty cheap), which works great in wink2 out of the box (the default win2k drivers are great).

I've been having the same error with my abit be6-2 (also highpoint controller). I read somewhere the highpoint drivers for win2k are the cause, they are crap. The only solution to use your drive in win2k is to disable the highpoint controller and put the drive on udma66

I've been using sygate home network for a while and it wokrs great. I've had troubles with winroute (it works after i've set it up, but after a while it seems to loose the internet connection and fails to send it to the clients...)

The fortissimo is great. i bought it as a replacement for my sb128 which had no drivers at all for win2k, my midi didn't work right. The fortissimo indeed works out of the box great card!

Creative didn't release any win2k drivers for the sb128 pci model ct4700. With the wdm driver it uses a microsoft syth to play midi, but it doesn't play right, it's crackling or something like that. ANything i can do about that? Anyone tried the ct4750 drivers on a ct4700? Thanks.

Jsut after win2k has booted i try to click on the IE icon, IE gives me a message: cannot find internet connection, try again, work offline. When i click "try again" internet works fine. I tried it with IE2 (that is still present as i upgraded from NT4) and it connects fine from the first time (i know, the work offline crap is not implemented in IE2 so that should explain it). But other programs like icq, msn messenger and napster work fine too. I got this message since i installed a UDMA 66 HD on the highpoint 366 controller of my abit be6-2. Is there a irq conflict with my NIC now? Anyone else experienced this? Would it help if i installed Win2k with ACPI disabled? Thanks.

Here's my problem. When I drag icons in win2k they are white transparent, so when i drag them over the white background of a window they are totally invisible. This only seems to occur in 32bits colour mode. In 16bits all is fine. And it happened since detonators 6.xx. The dets 5.xx don't show this problem. Can this be fixed with some setting (registry or whatever) besides running it in 16bits? Thanks.
