don't run the scan automatically, because, for some strange reason, certain mp3s cause the program to crash(i think it has to do with the id3 tag and such). Mike

running on 60+ hours. Last reboot was for installing a 3com homeconnect camera. That's it. Mike

Hehe... I guess I must have gotten a first run rio500, cause mine came with 2.0 software. I already e-mailed itt o you, so just check your mailbox. Mike

Hey, I was hte person who originally reported that the Rio500 was working with my win2k. Well, i just did a clean isntall of win2k last night, adn this is the process I went through to get it to work. 1) I took a copy of rioport 2.0(not 2.1) and copied it to win2k. I took the MDMuser.dll to winnt/system32/ folder. 2) run the rioport program just to make sure it works, etc. Once its working, just close it(it'll warn you that it can't find a portable player, but don't worry about that). 3) Plug in your Rio500. Win2k will detect it, and will ask you for drivers for it. Have it autosearch for drivers from the cd that comes with your rio. It will install drivers and open rioport 2.0 automatically when done. It should have also detected the rio500 as being plugged in. You can verify this by looking on the rio. It should say <USB COMM> on it. 4) Pick your mp3s that you want on the rio and transfer away. Rioport 2.0 is a horribly done program, but its the only one that i've gotten to work with the rio500 in win2k. I hope this helps. If you need more help, e-mail me or icq me. email is myan1@san.rr.com icq is 7606507 I'll be in later this evening to help people.

Hell, even the new Mech3 Expansion pack installs and runs fine in 2000. The original didn't run at all. Software companies are working to get their games compatible with 2000. That's one hurdle. The other hurdle is device drivers. That will be fixed in the near future.

In device manager: IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers: Go into both Primary and Secondary IDE Channel Then go into the Advanced settings. There you can change DMA settings.

You DA MAN!!! all bowing in awe

doh, why the bad download?

There is a way to get Rogue Spear to work in Win2k. INstall it to Win98, run regedit(or e-mail me, i have this file already saved) and export the rogue spear reg key. Reboot into Win2k, enter the regkey info,enter regedit and change any drive letters that may have changed, and voila, working Rogue Spear in win2k. BTW, it works great with a tnt2 and win2k RC2
