    WinXP 2465 and "Smart Tags"

    Has anyone else noticed in the latest build of WinXP/IE that when ever "Microsoft" it displays crap about MS like a link to thier page, stock info and lots of other crap. Now it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't point out this feature but it puts an annoying purple dotted line under that word. Luckily you can turn it off in the advanced options under Smart Tags. But just got me thinking about what they are going to do in the future to point them selves out.

    "Service Database Locked" error

    I had this happen to me too. What I figured out was going wrong was the first time I booted I went into safemode and ran through the reg hack to disable Windows Activation. When doing this it for some reason pooches the services database and only a handful of services are started. What you should have done is booted normally the first time into Windows and go through the MS Agent welcome crap. Then try to login. Then you will get an error message saying something about reinstalling windows. At that point reboot and go into Safe Mode and run the reg hack. I have reproduced this serveral times and it has something to do with the Windows Activation being started in that wizard, it might be creating the HWID (im not sure though). The down side to this is the only way I have been able to fix it is a clean install. An inplace upgrade will not work, I have tried that too.

    Whistler 2257 and Neptune 5111 Whats the Difference

    Neptune is no longer in Developement. The next two that are currently in Dev are Whistler (Windows.Net 1.0) and Blackcomb (Windows.Net 2.0). Neptune was actually merged into Whistler earlier this year.

    NTFS to Fat in Win2000

    Not with any MS app, The only app that will do that is partition magic. I would strongly advise against that however. I had a customer call in after he had done that and it FUBAR'ed his system. From what I understand powerquest is trying to make Patition magic compatible but I don't know when it will be. The only thing you can do now is fdisk and chop the drive up from there.

    PowerDVD vs Live!

    I don't want this to come out like I am being an a-hole cuz that is not what I am trying to do. Just go and buy a hollywood+ card, these cards work PERFECTLY under Win2k. I have been through the whole software decoder scene and it was a major pain. You can pick these cards up for about 50 bucks US and they are worth every penny.

    Windows 2000 FIX, IS THIS TRUE

    Sure this whole thing was a joke and you were just trying to trick us . You're such a llama. You realized half way through this that what you were saying was completely stupid and little by little you changed what you were saying. ------------------ [This message has been edited by RobGoo (edited 25 March 2000).]

    Windows 2000 FIX, IS THIS TRUE

    Ge0ph, MSDOS.sys is on Windows2000 and the Windows dir may or maynot be there depending on whether or not it was an upgrade from 9x. If it was the system root will be windows. Holy **** i just defended J something or other. Although I still think that he is fulla **** about putting DOS on there and games working. P.S. This is MSGuy at home =)

    Windows 2000 FIX, IS THIS TRUE

    Who told you that and what were they smoking? How could installing dos help NT? NT is a 32 bit OS dos is not. They would not have anything to do with each other. I run Windows 2000 Pro as my main gaming rig and I have NO problems.

    New Asus Beta 4 drivers......

    Do they have the control panel applet like the one in 9x? I downloaded them and they are about 2.3 megs compared to nVidia's which are about 970k.
  12. I downloaded the new drivers from Aureal for my SQ2500 and they crash my system when I enable 4 speakers in the control panel applet. I am sure I installed them correctly because I now have SP/DIF out. Has anyone else experianced this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

    What a pity, buggy W2K...

    Alright kiddies. I will read you what is on my RETAIL box. Windows 2000 Professional: -Highest reliability to keep your business running. -Enhanced security to protect your business data. -best support for mobile business computing. -best platform for next generation business technology. Windows 98 SE: -Best platform for multimedia: music, pictures, video. -Best support for PC *GAMING* -Easy home networking and internet setup. -Broadest support for comsumer hardware and software. This was taken directly from the Retail box. It is clear that Microsoft is NOT pitching this to the general consumer. The only reason it might be is that places like compUSA, officemax and others are just going to try to sell a new product and the average user will not look at the back and just see Windows 2000 and think "oh this must be the next 9.x".
