jabbathewocket 0 Posted January 20, 2001 well it fixed some issues with the button styles for me .. was getting lots of overdraw in menu areas with 2410, 2416 seems to have that licked on my tnt2 system Other than that, a bit of refinements here and there.. and more updates to the setup program still playing with it will keep posted of any earthshattering differences Share this post Link to post
DeadCats 0 Posted January 21, 2001 On the same subject, my wife, who once subscribed to the MSDN (or whatever it is now), is going to start doing so again. She has no interest in running Whistler on her machine, but I'm curious about running it on mine. My machine's kinda dated; a PII 333Mhz. But Win2K runs much better and faster on it (especially now with 192MB RAM) than Win9x. The code for Whistler, still being in beta, probably hasn't been optimized for speed yet, so it might make a significant difference in how it operates on my machine. Anyway, that's my guess. Is anyone here presently running Whistler on such a low-end machine, and how is it doing? ------------------ "Being married to a programmer is like owning a cat.

jdulmage 0 Posted January 21, 2001 my cousin has Pentium 2 at 350 Mhz and 128 MB of RAM and it runs very good, but 350 ain't much anyways. Other than that, everything else is ok Share this post Link to post

Ghard296 0 Posted January 21, 2001 Just upgraded my Win2k to 2410 and it works smoothly on my end. I cant seem to find 2416 anywhere yet, but i'll find it. Share this post Link to post

Gambler FEX online 0 Posted February 9, 2001 I have problems with a few games, with both 2416 and 2419. Giants freezes and drops to desktop if I press escape (maybe a dialog box I cant see?) and Oni the mouse is very laggy. Diablo 2 works fine though, but thats not a 3D game (at least not a real one) Share this post Link to post
dodgeviperrt10 0 Posted February 9, 2001 I have EXACTLY THE SAME problems. Even with 2419 NFS 5 drops back to desktop. I cannot install Nvidia Detonator driver beyond 6.34 without having a flashing screen all the time. TheViper Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted February 9, 2001 6.50 works fine here, NFS 5 works fine here. Beta 2 will be released tonight (Friday), or Monday anyways Share this post Link to post
Hit 0 Posted February 9, 2001 Awesome. This should be an interesting release. Get ready for a shock tho, I'm reading that the GUI is gonna be....quite different. Shame too, I was just starting to get used to the snazzy Whistler GUI. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted February 9, 2001 I'm a tester, it's not going to be different. Just better, more customizable and very malleable, which will cause almost infinite UI possibilites, from high or low color icons, modes, menus, skins, colors, styles, fonts, etc. Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted February 10, 2001 cool cool. I look forward to running it when it comes out. Maybe the Hollywood+ issue might be fixed but probably not. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted February 10, 2001 yeah, bug the manufacturer then, it ain't MS's problem. Believe it or not, I don't really care which you think, MS gets about 90 % of their drivers from the manufacturers, so if a device is not working, bug the manufacturer Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted February 10, 2001 Unless the manufacturer is Creative Labs, then you might see driver releases about 6 monthes after the RTM of XP. Share this post Link to post
pimpin_228 0 Posted March 7, 2001 If it is creative labs you're pretty much f***ed.I know i got a decoder card by creative and i got to partion my hardrive to use it Share this post Link to post
