Ok, I found the fix. Did it last night and it started working right away. So far it's been working, keeping my fingers crossed. http://www.askmarvin.ca/forums/index.php?showtopic=476

I can't seem to get MSN to sign in very often since I did the upgrade to 6.1. I'm running Windows 2000. I didn't want to upgrade and I knew better, but I didn't want to see the message pop up telling me to upgrade everytime I opened MSN. And I was going to download Windows Messenger, but version 4.7 only works on XP!!! Can anyone tell me if there is a fix or where I can find an older version of either program? I've tried "Repairing" MSN Messenger and also uninstalled it and reinstalled it.

Quote: fdisk will make your parititon the full size no problem. Microsoft made disk management unable to format fat32 larger than 32 Gig. This is artificial limit built into windows 2000/XP. No way around it except to use Fdisk. It's really sleazy the way m$ did it too, it makes you wait until 99% then says" too big" filthy rotten scum........ I love windows too, but these artificial limitations m$ builds into things piss me off. Yea, I was just wondering about the full size being recognized as a partition with fdisk, I was just wondering if there was any artificial limit built into it, but I assume not. I use NTFS now anyways. Typically I run fdisk, create a full sized partition and then format it with the Windows 2000 disk in NTFS.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit system unless they want to try and screw us all over. We can run 8 and 16 bit programs on 32 bit Windows.

Well it sounds like I don't need a registry hack if I fdisk the new hard drive to the full capacity and then reinstall fresh, which I would of course do anyways with a new drive. Are there any limitations now with fdisk regarding this?

This is a good topic for me as I have a 60 gig hard drive with W2K and a VIA chipset. I would assume I would need to buy a separate PCI hard drive controller card in order to get a bios to recognize the full size of say a 250-300gig drive. Anybody see any potential problems with this?

Try Hard Drive Tach and let us know what you get...I also have an A7V with Windows 2000. I have both of my hard drives hooked to the ATA/100 promise controller. I'm using a RAID bios and get from Sandra about what it says I should be getting.

Stop playing video games, they all majorly suck nowadays and are oozing with gayness....and I do mean ALL. I saw the light about two years ago and haven't looked back.

Quote: At work I have a Logitech QuickCam (it says Connectix on it but I'm pretty sure they're identical) and Windows 2000 on a laptop and a desktop. On both machines, I can't get either Logitech's or random drivers I've found to work. Any help with drivers? The FCC ID of the cam is LKD4. I have a refurbished Logitek Quickcam that I bought off of someplace recommended on techdeals about six to eight months ago. The CD that came with the camera had version 5.something and gave me a BSOD when I tried to use it so I went to the website and downloaded like 6.1 or something and haven't had a problem since. The picture quality is sucky, but hey I payed about $18 for it with shipping so what can you expect? It does the job.

Seems ok, though I wasn't having any problems before I installed it either.

Where can I get a SP3 RC? I'm about to check Edonkey and WinMX, but please post if there is a direct download site.

I worked technical support for Gateway 2000 several years ago and there were numerous idiots everyday. The two that stick out in my mind are the one that asked me, "If I unplug the computer will I lose everything?" and the idiot that couldn't find the letter "S" key on his keyboard. Who knows what the hell he was looking at.

Quote: guiness for beer (althought a good dark ale will do) and gin (Bombay Blue Saphire) for liquor. I hope you're not talking about Guiness Foreign Extra Stout, that stuff tastes like soy sauce! Looks like it too. I assume you mean Guiness Draught. It's ok, but the stuff is pretty weak. Quote: Originally posted by CyberGenX Upset! Just found out I have an ulcer, can no longer drink my favorite beer, heineken. Well I can drink, but the result is a toilet bowl full of blood. Heineken? Major skunk beer! Though, sometimes strangely enough I get into the mood to have one. Ulcers suck dude. I had one a little over a year ago. A peptic ulcer I think is what they called it. Basically what happened is I went to sleep one night at about 11:00 right after eating a huge dinner. Woke up with stomach pains and it progressively got worse over about 2-3 weeks until I was even having pain while standing up. I took some medication that lessens the amount of acid produced by your stomach for about 3 weeks and it was gone. Yes, I drank alcohol while I was taking them. Oh well. I did have problems from time to time for about six months afterwards, but it finally totally went away about 8 months ago.

My favorite American beer is probably Samuel Adams Summer Ale as I love a good hefeweizen. I love the Belgian stouts, bocks, and trapists. I drink alot of Westvleteren and Spaten Optimator. I also enjoy the maibocks very much.
