    Update to Seldzar:

     

    Tried out the "Change type of PC in device manager"-thing Seldzar. Its succces seems to vary depending on the other components installed in the PC. Especially some drivers still in beta-state (for SCSI and graphics e.g.) may prevent a succesfull boot after changing the PC-type.

    So, just do that if you don't rely on a stable systems! (although it should function in most of the cases!)

    Hi folks!

     

    As to informations from our widely beloved german c't magazine, the AD/DA-converter part on every tv-card with BT878-chip isn't used by any driver at all. Not in win9x, neither in NT4 or w2k, so we shouldn't care about this "fault". Time will come when we don't have to trust in to this tiny Audio-loop-cable stuck into the Sound_Card.

     

    So, don't care at the moment.

     

    PS: Pardon my English!

    Hi!

     

    I'm a proud owner of a Win/TV Radio (Hauppauge) and since Build 2128 I managed to get it to work with PAL-beta-drivers and Win/TV 2000-application. Still problems /w no suitable driver in device manager for Win/TV-Audio-Section (though sound is working fine)!

    Hi Bubba!

     

    I had the same problems with an Erazor III and Build 1946 and 2031. It seems that the newer win2k-drivers of NVidia demand Build 2031 (2071) or higher. NVidia Detonator 2.08 worked on Build 1946 and 2031, but I was unable to enable (weird word construction ;-)!) Direct3D-Support. If you've got 2000.3 you seem to be able to get newer builds of Win2k. Hope that helps!

    Friends of me posted different error messages when starting AoE2. One of them seemed to miss an actual DirectX (6.1 or newer), which could be resolved by installing DX7-w2k-final, the other created a complete error-log ("An error has occured...") which happened mostly with warez- and No-CD-versions. Must be due to the new ASPI-implementation of Windows 2000.

    I fear I can't help you much, just one suggestion: Try disabling the second processor (SMP-option in BIOS). On my computer (almost same configuration except the second proc.) everything works fine in OpenGL.

     

    I hope that helps!

    Important question:

    Are the games original or are you using copies to protect your original media? Most of the copy protection cracks call functions of the Win ASPI-interface, which has changed significantly from Win9x/NT4 to W2k.

     

    Most of the Original-CD's seem to work, especially Microsoft games like AoE2 and others. Hope that helps!

     

    PS: I'm not in any way connected to the BSA (Business Software Alliance)

    PPS: I tested almost all the above mentioned games with Build 2128, DX7 final, NVidia 3.56 on TNT2.

    Hi!

    I'm an owner of a Hauppauge Win/TV PCI, sporting the BT878 chip and it works /w unofficial beta drivers from Hauppauge quite reasonable on RC2 using Win/TV2000 and as I can see, they're not WDM. Please remind: WDM from win98 isn't fully compatible with the w2k one.
