I've finally got the final release of Win Me for testing and it seems pretty cool Loads fast Supports everything I have barring my Live (no hassle there though) Just wondering if anyone has any tips about

You know, I have no idea As far as I know, unless you buy a proper server case with redundant power supplies Actually - I really have no idea

It's usually down to the Power management settings on you motherboard Have a play around wit the apm settings That should cure it

I guess I should really read my posts

Thibs I know that one, but 2k crashed way too many times - I've had it on since Feb, and re-installed at least twice a month Nagual - F5/f6 ????

As far as I've been told, as said above It needs to be physical memory +100 meg, but also, if it's anything like NT, just putting it on another partition from your main, it improves performance, even if you have one drive split into 2. Don't ask me how, but this does work

Well, It's weird, but my machine hasn't crashed once under ME, but would crash at least 3 or 4 times a day under 2000 You do the math

Ahh yes - I know that, but... I have a Gigbyte 7IXE (stop laughing) An Athlon 500 And a GeForce 256 And we all know that combination doesn't have the greatest success rate with W2K Hence I need to get the best ou of Me If I had better hardware, then 2000 would be the o/s of choice, but I don't and it isn't. Now stop stating the obvious, and help me out here

Ok - it's been a few weeks now and I'm getting a little pissy with haveing to use a V3 3000 I decided to go for it - Bought an Athlon, a Gigabyte 7ixe m/b and a Ge Force 256. Much quicker, but also much more unstable. I then found out after my parting of cash that W2K, AMD Chipsets and Ge Force's don't like each other. AMD have been promising some new drivers but I haven't heard anything!! Anyone any ideas?

Cheers mate - I'll give that a try

By the way - I'm using 5.22 Detonator drivers Before anyone says anything, I have tried others with the same results

For once - I can help For some reason unbeknowst to me, and apparently to Epson UK technical support, the drivers for the GT-5000 SCSI are part of the GT-5500 download on the epson page Here's the link http://www.epson.co.uk/support/download/win2000/scan.htm It worked for me, and the updated scan engine is lovely Have fun!

Sad news. If you have a GE Force card and an AMD based motherboard, there are many problems with the system locking up It's a known fact, and I have only just found out about it - Nvidia and AMD are working on the problem as we speak. I'm just glad I kept my Voodoo 3 - it's alot slower, but at least it works. No crashes now for a while anyway

I can't remeber where I heard it, but supposedly the best setup for virtual memory is your total physical memory +100 meg I've got 256 meg and a swapfile of 350 - 450, and it works like a treat

I too have had the same problem, but with slightly different hardware. I had a PIII 450, a Chaintech 6BTM motherboard, and a voodoo 3 I've now got a Gigbyte 7IXE, an Athlon 550, and a G-Force 256. My machine also seems to lock up at random, and I can't seem to locate the fault. I've got all the latest drivers, and Re-installed the system just to be on the safe side, but with no joy. The system can go, as it has today, for several hours, then just freeze after 5 mins. Weird!

I have recently installed an LS-120 drive in my W2K machine. Finally deciding it was worth keeping, I removed my normal floppy, but cannot get the LS120 to read as drive A:, only as B: Does anyone out there have any ideas?

I have to agree - NTFS is more stable, faster, better for indexing, and just much happier full stop.

Well, it looks like the only way to get this to work is if I re-install - Everything but this current installation of 2000 sees it as a: Ho hum

Well folks. It looks like a bit of a prob with Win2k I've just put my HDD with 98 on and it works like a treat - drive A and everything. Boot with a dos disk, and the same thing. But as soon as 2000 is involved no joy

I've tried that. I've disabled the floppy controller in the bios, and deleted it from device manager. Then I deleted the LS-120, restarted my machine, and it still found it as drive b!
