yujini 0 Posted March 8, 2000 Hi, I was just wondering.. I installed Win2k on my Computer.. Clean install...Fat32 (tried it on NTFS5 also) After installing...booting would take 5~8 minutes, starting a program would take more than 5 seconds..(even device manager would take 4~7 seconds)..all my friends are telling me it's a hardware compatibility problem... I have a AMD Athlon 750, 256MB of Ram, Geforce DDR (Creative Labs), Sound Blaster Live! Platinum, 3Com Fast Etherlink Ethernet card and a DVD, CD-RW drive... I took out the sound card to see if it was the problem....but it wasn't. Tried other Rams just in case it was defective...it wasn't the problem either... I have a MSI 6167 Motherboard... Does anyone have any idea why win2k is soo slow on my computer? Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted March 8, 2000 Do you have a SCSI interface along with the IDE one? Share this post Link to post
yujini 0 Posted March 8, 2000 I don't have a SCSI interface...with an IDE one...actually i had a Scsi Zip Drive but i took out the Scsi controller... Network...meaning 3com's ethernet card? could that be a problem? I thought 3Com's ethernet card would be the last thing to have a hardware compatibility with any Microsoft's OS I haven't tried that one out... Could that be a problem? Share this post Link to post
