www.jedit.org by far my favorite.

Just got done doing some testing. Quake3 runs fine. Age of Empires runs fine. PowerDVD runs fine. And my webcam runs fine. Everything that has given me trouble works with these drivers! Sweet. My system is a BP6 dual 400, QQbios, ASPI Multiprocessor, Diamond V550 TNT card. Don't have any Quake3 benches, but it looks good and is fast enough! r_smp was kind of choppy for me. For those that are having problems with it, it really matters which kernel your running. I had fewer problems before I went to the ASPI Kernel. Anyways these drivers are a keeper. Apoptosis

Just Today I started getting the same type of msg when I open outlook express, I get msimn.exe throwing the same error. Does anyone know what is going on? The only program I installed recently is MSN IM 2.1 . I am thinking this broke outlook express.

I noticed in the compatablity pages that Intel Create and Share Cameras (USB) work in win2k. When I connect it to my pc it seems to detect it. However, I have no software to do anything with it, and the compatablity pages says the packaged software doesn't work (as is my experience). So does anyone have their camera doing anything usefull? I would like to be able to take stills with it, and maybe do some video confrencing. If so what software are you using to do this. Thanks for any help, Apoptosis

I would like to take a second to complain about Abit. In particular their driver support for the BP6. I have had this mobo basicly since it came out. It was a great idea and seemed perfect for the Win2k machine I was building. In fact after I bought it, it received several mobo of the year awards. So you think with such great hardware, Abit would complement it with great software. This has not been the case. Abit seems to think putting out "Offical" BIOS every 5 months is supporting its product. This might be ok if the BIOS they put out were fully functional. For those who have it I am refering particularly with ASPI <> UDMA 66 conflicts, && MPS 1.4 <> USB conflicts. You would thing with these known problems they would be doing everything possible to get out a new bios. However, just check there page and see how long it has been! Now I know some will say Abit makes beta bios avalible, but I hate constantly upgrading sometimes to discover you are better off with the old version. I don't feel I should have to do that. As you can tell I am sort of disappointed in Abit. How could they make such an awsome product and then let it fall to crap with driver support. For that reason this will be my last Abit product. Well that is my rant. Take it or leave it but I needed to say it . Apoptosis

Every time I want to wipe my drive clean of a previous win2k installation I do the following: 1. Boot with my good ole win98 boot disk. 2. fdisk to remove NTFS partion, and create new dos partion. 3. restart and format c: (fat32) 4. install win2k, and specify convertion to NTFS Now I know this can't be the best way. I would like to put in a Win2k boot disk and format c: (NTFS), right off the bat. Just forget about the whole fat32, win98 boot disk part. Is there a way to do this? Or maybe someone has a better (faster) way? Thanks for the help, Apoptosis

Thanks guys, that fixed my problem!

I have the same camera, what software should you use for this camera, I would just like to video conference.

I have had problems with Real Player 7 for a long time now. Basicly what happens is that when I am playing some movies it puts my monitor in hybernate mode and I can't recover. It has done this since Real Player was in beta. So I thought it was a beta bug. However, now I think it is my system. I have the newest TNT 3.75 drivers and I have used just about every driver that has come out for the TNT in win2k. Same problem. The only thing else I have that may be the reason is my BP6 mobo. Is there a setting I am missing? Has anyone else had this problem, I haven't seen anything about it. It must be my system because everyone has posted that RP 7.0 works in win2k. Thanks for any help, Apoptosis P.S. I know I shouldn't post in both sections but I am not sure which is the problem hardware or software.

PGP doesn't seem to integrate properly with Outlook express in 2195, does anyone else have this problem. I had this problem with RC3 too, but not RC1. I get a error saying PGP can't copy from the window. Any ideas? Thanks for Any help.

Has anyone tried using PGP with RC3? It doesn't integrate itself with Outlook expess on my machine. It throws a error when I go to send a email I clicked to be encripted. It works fine on my win98se machine. Also, I am new to encription, is PGP the best program to use? I.E. is it safe? Thanks, Apoptosis

If changing your video drivers is your thing: http://www.clanworld.org/download/fileinfo.asp?fileid=1004 Now that I have got your ear. I just wanted to say a thing about the "Win2k sucks" debate. First, I am a programmer and I know why we don't support a beta os. It is EXPENSIVE! It is hard enough to make software that works on one os correctly. Now try supporting a OS that changes on a month to month basis. Also, customer support doubles every os you support, and CS is really expensive. As cheap as it is for software, and as expensive it is to hire programmers. It is a real strain on a company to support multiple OS. Just wait and see the support fly when it is Final though. Also, Win2k doesn't suck. Even If though I can't run every peice of software/hardware I have, I would not go back to 98. I tried that once when I was on my "Win2k sucks" kick. It was not pretty. Win2k in its Beta 2 form was the best OS microsoft has put out. I still don't understand the linux movement, or the BeOS movement. Apoptosis

Thank you guys for your help. I just got it working. What I did what dissabled the volume control panel in the device manager under my sound card properties. Then restarted. I could now here my voice in the headphones but couldn't use sound recorder because it would say "another device is recording now". So I enabled the volume control panel, and restarted again. Suddenly it works! I am not sure what happend but all I care about is it works. Thanks again. Apoptosis

I can't seem to get a microphone to work in RC3. Here is what I have tried: 3 microphones, on two different sound cards, in two different computers. One of the microphones is brand new. The sound cards are a Ensonic 32 half duplex, and a MX300 full duplex. The computers are a PII 266 with LX mobo, and dual Celeron 400 with BP6 mobo. After all this testing it still doesn't work so I am assuming it is a bug in RC3, can someone confirm this? And yes I unchecked mute mic in volume control, and yes I selected mic as the input device. I tested using sound recorder, and Dialpad.com. Thanks for any help, Apoptosis
