ive been searching for a fix for this program myself and have not found anything to work even the app compat toolkit when i use it i get this error message windirect error: unable to link to kernel32.dll mgl fatal error: cannot load wdirXXf.dll without it this message appears at the character select screen an privileged instruction.... address 004d5f0c

i have an extra pc im working on that was really slow 200 mhz k6 socket 7 64mb ram and i decided to put on a voodoo3 to speed up 3d games since that should be pretty much all i need for quake 2 and 3 however heres what happened, i installed the 1.07 drivers and it worked okay in q3, about 15-25 fps i then decided to check voodoofiles for drivers and see if there was any better ones i got the latest voodoolizer or whatever driver and it didnt work, so i uninstalled it and went back to the 1.07 to my surprise it now didnt work either!! can anybody help me get it to work? for some odd reason the very very old drivers work but NONE of the newer version work now. would have the new driver installed some file that is causing the system to mess up, if so what would it be? i also had the same problem before on somebody elses computer with the drivers doing this but i got it to work eventually and i forgot what i did to fix it. if anybody knows please help.

but if i install winXP, G0D forbid *screams* what if it doesnt work either? then im stuck with XP and then i will have to format to get back 2k heres another question besides my first one, how do you fix the master boot record file on a fat32 drive? if the recovery console dont work & the floppy disks dont either. -this was an old problem of my last config, my drive name was a long list of random characters eg A)(*#FJ#H$H#$Hdhh3e#!$@#%$ for some reason win2k still booted but wouldnt run scandisk i ended up formatting. i didnt delete the partitions though.

i have 120 gigs of stuff on my system. i dont really want to lose it all. also i have stuff in my overnet list that hasnt fully downloaded yet. the problem seems to appear with changing apps priority *sometimes*

HEY!, as to the question of ram, i have NEVER experienced slowdowns with 256 megs and since i now have double that and use the same programs i seriously DOUBT that windows is sucking a full 512 at all times plus i run o&o clevercache PRO. windows and all my programs normally never use over 180megs. in fact i have done this before with NO slowdown 1 burn a cd at 40x 2 play quake3 at hi-res and 4xaniso on 2x AA 3 listen to mp3 via FOObar its not a question of potential system performance a new 1700 system like mine SHOULD be able to do this too especially with ddr. before i could do this somewhat well with sdr, but it was overclocked. and i didnt burn cds. i didnt start having this problem either until i reinstalled windows maybe im missing some important file or something, but how would i know p.s. i dont have a windows cd, just cab files on my h-d its what i was given. I still wonder why UT has so much swapping tho esp since there is no reason at all for it. there is more than enough available ram. and its worked fine before. ive also heard from vortex2 websites that my mobo chipset causes a lot of problems and following their info i have tried to get a vortex2 to work in my system. sorta did get it working, but i uninstalled it and reinstalled windows. i swear this problem is like some sort of driver conflict or bad irq sharing or something similar, at least thats what it seems like. or since i did a reinstall maybe an old program is missing a file and is slowing my pc. or a hidden program is running in the background but ive tried to check for all this stuff too. also i used to have virtual pc before and uninstalled it but it still seems to popup in wierd places.(not the program but remnants of it) ack this is giving me a headache

HEY!!! i think i found the problem look for this program-katmouse then set the priority to "low" ehheheh i think that was the problem. but still i dont think it was that 100% of the time. <[just added]>-- this program was a big problem, but other programs slow down as well if i change priority <[just added]>-- (i set some useless programs i use to low priority to gain speed) and why would it cause system wide slowdown? thats a BIG mystery to me.

for some odd reason, any game or prog sometimes causes massive slowdown on my athlon xp1700 system this includes all games and maya paint effects screensaver and running norton windoctor my pc randomly has problems-(not slow all the time) i used to have this installed vlatency_v019.zip for testing my vortex2 sound card but i uninstalled it after i got rid of it. i dont know if it's still installed or not, it did seem to cause pauses in unreal tournament, a lot of them too, like i was running it on 64 megs of ram. i have 512. could have been a combo of things too. anyway i reinstalled a lot of drivers/software and am not having the problem right now, but im not sure if it is completely gone as the problem randomly appears suddenly for no reason. anyway, whats most noticable is that the mouse lags horribly, the closest i can say as an example is running UT in 800x600 with a 486. and trying to use the menu with the mouse. i can say for a fact that this problem is not 1 my cpu (1700) 2 my ram (512mb DDR) also desktop effects run slow eg: transition effects other info: chipset via kt266 vid card rad9000-64mb os=win2k i also am running hard drives off of a pci raid card. could any bios settings screw up pci transfer stuff and cause my raid card to lag?

well i know that quicktime plays mpeg2 but it sukz for the most part i prefer nicemc for winamp2 or media player i have seen on several websites stuff about playing mpeg2/vcds in media player but i'm not really sure about what theyre talking about. anyway, ive reinstalled windows a couple times now, as well as my other software and it sort of works now aka-works, but not like it used to.

thanks for the info, i dont have a backup cd, so this is helpful also, i was also wanting to know how to clean out the dlls and other files put in my windows dir. is there any good cleaner programs that would do this for me? it would be a pain to do it manually

try powerstrip? multi res?

i have had 2k installed for quite some time now and have gone through several motherboards, videocards, soundcards etc there is a crapload of old drivers that are still in my windows dir and some even still load but wont work. is there a program out there that can clean up old driver software?

i guess this could be considered a configuration tweak but anyway, i used to have windows me installed. i could play mpeg2 video files. i did not have any dvd software installed either. what i had installed was real player, media player, divx, quick time. and pretty much any movie file i wanted to play worked now i have 2k and no mpeg2 files work. i think i have the same stuff installed too. is there any way to fix this?

anybody know how to install the uk patch over the us version? (s1000to1004_uk.exe) why? i doesnt required the cds to play the game i heard. if you have ever played starsiege you know that there are 2 cds and it asks for one or the other of them at different intervals and it is a pain. and sometimes if it isnt in the first drive in alphabetical order it wont work. other methods of accomplishing the main objective (nocd) are appreciated too.

yeah, but wicked gl is better than the minigl plus ever single minigl game does not work eg quake2 ut works dont know why also just to make sure it wasnt 2k i tried both in 98 same problem could it be a conflict with the mobo? is the bus speed too fast? also i copied the 3dfxvgl.dll from the 98 driver into the quake3 folder. i used that instead of wickedgl and it worked faster. sometimes works, sometimes doesnt. quake2 eventually crashes if i dont use gl on the voodoo2 instead of glide i also tested both cards in sli, and by themselves separately just to see if it was a hardware problem. same stuff.

i'm pretty much looking for a replacement to this http://www.bubbleip.com/descr.html several other questions 1 is there a windows version of ipconfig in 2k? 2 information on what subnet mask and default gateway is 3 whats the easiest way to share files between 2 pc's over internet even if one is behind a firewall when it comes to networking, i know what i want to get done, just dont know how to do it.
