JP-

Stupid things this year include..... 1.) Buying a via based motherboard. 2.) Getting ASII all over the carpet (and it doesnt come out ) 3.) Breaking the Geforce 2 Ultra 4.) RMA-ing a mobo that wasnt broken hehe And they are just the computer related ones, as you can see i am a walking disaster area. "rock"

Just makes is so the gfx card can handle some of the work involved in playing a dvd (as opposed to the cpu doing it all). If you have the option and it doesnt cause any problems (i.e video corruption) then enable it.

It doesnt work If it did then xp would totally 'rock', see now your just giving me an excuse to say 'rock'.

Make sure you have your AGP apeture setting set to a decent level (32mb and up). If its too low you disable AGP.

Wow a quote from me! Thing is that i have yet to see anything that i can run on XP that i cant on 2000, so not much point in me using it. BTW stuff like remote desktop were already in win2000, just there were tucked away so they wernt so obvious. Remote desktop is in netmeeting for example. [EDIT] I just have to say that if transport tycoon deluxe worked on XP that would give me a reason to 'upgrade' cos that game 'rocks'.

XP=Win2000 for dummies. But hey it does the job it was designed for and i would have to say well done MS as its actually an excellent OS.

Hey i think i might just install it because i want to make it say SP3 rather than SP2. It will certainly 'rock' alot more then. I think you really need to be american to actually be able to say 'rock' and keep a straight face. BTW this site rocks man, keep up the good work

Why does SP3 'rock' ? What does it do that makes it so much better than SP2 ?

1 thing i saw in there was... * It's slightly easier to culturally acquire cities. It was easy to begin with!

I would say its probably jumpers myself, having actually experienced it with my IBM drives. Gave me a bit of a shock for a few minutes until i figured it out.

Am i the only one to think it was boring and short. I mean i had it finished within 2 days (and yes im SURE other ppl on here did it faster). The game just highlighted how terrible the quake3 arena engine is at doing outdoor scenes, all the landscapes are flat with very angluar hills. Authough the graphics on the insides are good, and the models are great. And no bots? Basically means that i cant play it multiplayer as its not gonna be fun over a 3 person LAN and ill get a 300+ ping over the net. Sorry just kinda left me feeling that i had spent £34.99 on a game that i will play for about 10hours.

Hi, i havent tried the wdm drivers but the new dets are probably the best dets ive ever used. Fast, good image quality and stable. Even cured a bug in civilization 3.

Hi I dont see how the refresh rate fix could possibly affect it that early in the boot process. I would first try yelling more obscenities and then throwing it out the window cos its probably broken anyway Maybe it just died, in a huge coinsidence.

Neither, win2000 rules.

Come on GTA3 is fantastic. Admittedly the ps2 didnt get off to the best of starts but i would still buy one now if i had a choice of ps2/xbox/gamecube. Mainly because i already have a good pc so i dont need an xbox and i dont really want to play yet more versions of mario kart etc on the gamecube.

Specs ? And are you using a highpoint raid controller?

OK this is direct from the windows help, and its not a problem. Page Fault In Task Manager, page fault is the number of times data has to be retrieved from disk for a process because it was not found in memory. The page fault value accumulates from the time the process started.

No hes talking about task manager. If you want to see, load up task man and click view-->select columns and select the page fault tick box. As far as i know they are perfectly normal, i mean right now iexplore.exe has managed 29,500 of em 8)

www.gamecopyworld.com ?

Downloaded the patch? It makes it run on win2000.

Hi I cant seem to get the 3dfx tabs under display properties to come up Ive tried different drivers and tried doing a repair install once the drivers were installed. Does anyone have these tabs under win2k? Im using a 5500 pci. Any help would be great

Woohoo! managed to get them working. It was something to do with the voodoo 5 being the secondary card. The way i was doing it was to disable the geforce and enable the voodoo, then install the drivers. That resulted in no tabs though. But if i enabled both cards then the tabs work. Thanks for your help brian

I had the same problem, the latest update cured it.

As sig

Yup, thats part of the problem there are no tabs.
