the button comes from office 2k and is not a part of w2k nor w98 !

where is that button ? i haven't seen that in win98 nor in w2k rc1 to 2184.

You should try to rename your mail-directory which is usually in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Identities\{81E3E29E-9AFA-4FB2-8F0B-B077F7FD7CDF}\Outlook Express If OE starts after that without any problems then your mail-dir is corrupt. It's a standard-problem under winnt 4.0 with an avm isdn-controller. exactly the same behaviour. Hope it helps you.

Try to reinstall W2K in order to reinstall OE. There's no way to do it another way. I've upgraded my w2k version since RC1 up to 2183 without any reinstallation crap and everything's working fine.

I don't think that coreutil have cracked w2k. There's no cracker listed in the NFO and if they managed to crack it they would have written it in the nfo. They should be proud of it. So there are only 2 different versions of 2193.1 one with time-bomb and one without.

Just perfect without anything special since 2128 and matrox marvel g200.

I installed 2128 and after this I updated my system about 6 or 7 times with builds 2134, 2154, 2172 and 2183. And the system is damn stable.

Well... With 4.0.5.6 I had several problems... sometimes it worked, sometimes not. But with 4.0.7.0 and the newest aspi-drivers from adaptec build 1021 it works fine.

Hi ! I have the same experiences like Double.Jay. I own the Hauppauge Win/TV Primio and have the problems with the audio device, too. But nevertheless it's working fine with the beta-drivers.

There's one thing you shoudn't forget. RC3 will only be accessable by a few 15,000 selected betatesters. So not every beta-tester will have access to the directory with their login and password. And a happy birthday. [This message has been edited by Wuff (edited 17 November 1999).]

Try installing the newest Aspi-Layer from Adaptec which is build 1021 of 09/10/99. Download it: ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/pub/BBS/winnt/aspi32.exe In addition you should download the Aspi-Check and run it. It tells you if everything is properly installed and if it's the right version. ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/pub/BBS/win95/aspichk.exe I installed it yesterday after having massive problems and many broken cdrs. Now everything works fine. I installed Nero 4.0.7.0 without any dll-deletion or something and it just works fine. Hope you have the same luck as I. CU Wuff P.S.: I have a Traxdata 2260+ CDRW IDE, W2K Build 2176.

well... winvcr isn't compatible with nt. that's why you can't capture with it. but watching tv works with nearly every application which supports the bt8xx chipset.

I get the same error with w2k build 2151 and a voodoo 2 and matrox marvel g200. it IS a game problem.

Here are infos posted on www.activewin.com: Just some news to keep things going for the weekend. MS plans to release DirectX 7.0a BETA early next week (week of Nov. 15th), while Win 2000 RC3 delayed until 17th.

I have similar problems with the Logitech Quickcam Express. I installed the drivers in build 2151. After a looooong time it finished the installation and told me that everything's fine. I restarted and connected it to the USB-port. Windows found the Cam and asks for drivers although the drivers are installed. I said ok. Now I have the tiny little cam sitting on my monitor and doing nothing... any ideas ?

Hi ! Does ReVolt work under RC2 ? I always get an error message about Z-Buffer. Celeron 400, 256MB Ram, Matrox Marvel G200, Voodoo 2, SBLive.

I have the Soundblaster Live! Value. But I'll try the LiveWare 3.0 drivers later.

The first thing you should do is to remove the wnaspi driver... This driver in the first place is to add support for IDE-Drivers. The latest ASPI Drivers for your SCSI-CD-Writer have been installed with Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0 ! Then everything should work fine. But if you installed other writer-software and removed them then you have the same problem as I have. Everything worked fine but after I removed Nero, WinOnCD and CD Wizard I cannot burn any CD with win2k. Reinstalling them doesn't help. So I installed Win98SE and now I'm burning with it.

well... if you don't know the administrator-password it doesn't matter as long as you are logged in with a user which has admin-rights. Just go to control-panel Users&Passwords and set a new password.

The problem with the 3dfx drivers is not with microsoft but with 3dfx. They are unable to write stable drivers for win2k at the moment which doesn't make the complete OS instable ! If 3dfx will fix those problems Microsoft will include the drivers as always.

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntfs98.htm It's the final version now... but as stated above I would be very careful. Reading NTFS-Files is ok. But I won't write something on a NTFS-Disk. The other way writing from NTFS on a Fat32 partition works without problems.

http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=advanced&query=winamp25c use this link to find 2.5c version.

I have a similar problem. With my MGA Marvel G200 and a Diamond Monster 3D II w/ 12 MB. Homeworld starts but when I wanna start the game itself the loading-screen appears and the PC freezes.

It works fine on my system, too. Celeron 400, 256MB Ram, Win2k RC2, Diamond Monster II with 3dfx reference drivers. It took some time to get them installed but it works.

I use CuteFTP 3.3 beta and I have no problems... the beta 3.5 crashes every few minutes...
