Nero 5.5 & Clone CD for me. Very popular, this pair;)

I posted this one further down, but didn't get much joy It concerns these bloody "Sonar has generated errors and will be closed down by windows" messages I get when using Cakewalk Sonar!!!! This is really p*ssing me off, I have all the latest updates (Win2K 2195, SP2, Sonar 1.3 update reliesed just 2 days ago!!!!) It just does it for no reason "WHAT-SO-EVER"......Just opening a mixer window can cause it, or clicking on the volume slider......ANYTHING!!!!! It really makes me mad......this Bastard message just springs up from nowhere, and I loose all my unsaved work!!!!. If this carry's on, I will be forced back to bloody 98SE , Thing is, Sonar was developed to run best under Win2K, and it's slugish under Win98. Don't get me wrong, I love Win2K.....it hasn't crashed once in the three months I've had it (No blue screens)......Just these bloody Sonar crashes. It's a *Fresh* installation of Win2K and the only apps I've installed are: Cakewalk Sonar and Sound Forge 5.0 (Which *NEVER* crashes!!!!) My specs are: Athlon 850mhz Asus A7PRO MoBo 256MB Ram SBLive 1024 Soundcard Win2K 2195 Service Pack 2 Can anyone give me a clue as to why this is happening????? I will reward anyone who can help with a big, fat THANKS.......And please don't tell me i'm stuck with the problem.....It could well send me over the edge! Thanks

Just open your virtual keyboard, and put it on in there....OK?

My friend has a problem. Whenever he tries to setup Win2k on a clean partition, about half way through, it errors (cant find file ddraw.dll ect) Does anyone know why he's getting these errors???? Many thanks in advance.

Simple question, What is Windows 2000 "SR2"? I just d-loaded IEradicator to get rid of IE from my Win2K installation. Thing is, it says it can only do it on: 95, 98, 98se, Me, and Windows 2000 SR1???? It says it can't do it in Windows 2000 SR2 or WindowsXP!!! So, what is SR2, and how can I tell which one I have? I have: Win 2K Build 2195, Service Pack 2. BTW: How high did the Build get? Is 2195 an early Build, or a later Build? Thanks a lot for any help

I have decided to do away with Win2K due to a problem I have (See thread "Errors (again)!!!!!!" in Applications. Gone back to 98SE, and I'm going to rip IE out with IEradicator ASAP. Thanks again

So you recon they mean "SP2" (Service Pack 2) when they say "SR2" (Service Release 2)?????? I've searched the Mic*os*ft Web Site, and can only find "Service Pack 2" for 2K????? The reason I wanna get rid of IE is I'm dual booting (I use Win98SE for the net) so I don't need it on 2K!.....It don't really matter, though. Thanks

Yeah, You disabled all your system sounds in: Control Panel\Sounds & Multimedia (Chose "NO SOUNDS" as a sound scheme) Go on, tell me i'm wrong!!......Go on!!

You know when Win 2K comes up with the message: "This program has generated errors......A log file is been created"????????????? Is this the fault of the program running (Due to bugs), or is it Windows 2000's fault. The reason I'm asking is becouse, I'm using Cakewalk Sonar (With latest update v1.02), and it seems to do this quite a lot!!!!! Cakewalk's fault?, or Microsoft's fault? Any help would be greatfully received.......Thanks.

Well, this log is from my other machine (SAME, ONLY VIA SOUND INSTEAD OF SBLive!.......SAME PROBLEM, THOUGH) Can anyone make head nor tail of this?......

OK........I'll post it ASAP. Many thanks

March 2000........Nearly as bad.

Erm........Soundblaster Live! drivers? latest?.......Yes, they are, if you can call drivers from 1999 "latest"? this, believe it or not, was the last time Creative updated them!!!! Hey GeOph, you think this may be the problem??? any help on this matter would be great......would like to sort it. I really thought it would be Sonar that was causing the problem........it would be nice if it is'nt, cos I'd much rather ditch the soundcard than Sonar. Thanks.

Bit of a strange one, this I have a dual boot: Win me (Drive C), Win 2000 (Drive D) and both OS's screens are in the same position without me having to adjust the screen left or right when I boot between one and the other. However, before I went to Win me, I had Win 98 (First edition) and the screen positions between Win 98 and Win 2000 were different??? Now, I want to go back to Win 98 (Second Edition this time!) So, my question is: Is Windows 98 Second Edition's screen in the same position as Windows 2000? I know it's the same in Win me, and not the same in Win 98 First Edition. Hope you can follow that, and thanks in advance for any help.

Yeh, all's well now But hey, many thanks for all your sugestions and thoughts........at least we got to the bottom of that, and it may help someone else in the future Thanks again...... Regards

There's no problem here, I just posted higher up ;( that it works! here's the Info again: Win 98 (First Ed) & Win 2000 have >DIFFERENT SCREEN POSITIONS< Win 98 (Second Ed) & Win 2000 have >SAME SCREEN POSITIONS< My question was "Do Win 98 (Second Ed) and Win 2000 have the same screen positions?".........I then installed them both and the answer was yes, they do......No problem here. Regards

Hey Clutch....... I'm using a G-force 2 MX with reference drivers version 2.1.8.1 on both Os's (just got this version for XP/2K today!) Regards

Well, thanks for your help guys. I've done the install of Second Edition and yes, they are both in the same position......... Thing is, this really has nothing to do with drivers, refresh rate or the video card used!!!! It is purely the job of the Os! Win 98 (1st Ed) screen IS NOT IN THE SAME POSITION OF WIN 2K!!!!........Regardless of refresh rate or drivers used. Win 98 (2nd Ed) and Win Me's screen IS in the same position as Win 2K. So there you go..........THE FACTS!!

No! no! no! It's nothing to do with video drivers, I've always used the same video card (and drivers) throughout all the changes listed above. It's definitely the Os's job I need someone who has a Win 98 SE, Win 2000 Dual boot system..........Cos they'll know

Don't worry! This is normal, CPU will always be at 99% when your system is doing nothing........This should,nt be slowing your PC down.

I have just done a clean install of: Windows Me on partition C, and a clean install of: Windows 2000 Pro on partition D. Now, I have decided that Windows Me is not very good (eats memory for breakfast, frags up like a ***** ect) so, heres the problem: I would like to re-format drive C, then reinstall Win 98. BUT, when I do this my Boot.ini file will be gone, therefor I will not be able to boot into Windows 2000 or will I? Will a new boot.ini be created from my Win 98 install, or will I have to do something to make it see Windows 2000? Any help would be good. Cheers.......NoNeed

That's great, Thanks Andy
