Guess who finally got Win 2000 Up : D

[hapoo]

ahhh, that was a pain in the ass. My disk drive wasn't working, and the drivers for my network card came on disks...

anyway, so far so good. Before upgrading i asked one of my friends if he liked it and he said it was great but his video card crashed all the time (Voodoo 3500tv) and seeing how i recomended the card to him (i have the same card) i thought i might have some problems. I've only been up for less than 10 min and so far i haven't had any problems, of coarse i haven't tried anything yet.

The Upgrade...
Just Do Not Turn off during the Saving settings part... It will require my expertise. :) It deletes the boot.ini and thats not good...

Stability and scalabilty are its true benifits.

I just played Q3 TA, and besides being a tad choppy, i think i just saw how it was meant to look!! It was soo cool.

it wouldn't have taken such a long time but believe it or not, I too had NIC problems. I have a Linksys Network Everywhere 10/100 NIC and Win2k didn't have drivers for it. The drivers that came with it came on a disk, and since I dont use a disk drive (unplugged, no use for it...usually) I had no way of getting them off the disk, and i couldn't get the drivers off the net cause i couldn't use the NIC!! Intresting problem :D
So I just dragged my hard drive on to my dads computer and copied drivers that i got off the net to the drive.

[hapoo]

could someone tell me how i what workgroup i'm on?? I wanna be under "workgroupname1" but Win2k automatically put me under "Workgroup"


btw, whats your icq # chosenfool?

[hapoo]

Nevermind, i found it

I have that NIC also. I used win2k's drivers. They were named something else though. It started with an "MS" followed by the real driver name, so i just renamed the driver. Wierd huh?

That is wierd, i'm surprised it worked. At first i remembered having another brand NIC and when i tried to install the drivers win would restart on me.

About time hapoo. Win2K is one Microsoft product that I really can't bitch about. It's got security, stability and scalability. True it isn't perfect, but compared to Win 9x it's a world better.

holy shit, i just got my monitor to go into 1920*1440!!!!! Its top rated resolution is 1600*1200 (I have the Viewsonic PF790) I can barally read what i'm typing right now!!! Only problem is that i had to lower the refresh to 60hz. No way i'm keeping it like this but its nice to know i can :D

Damn its small and flickery :heh:
