Well I have to hand it to MS: they did a great job this time. I know people are complaining about the loss of firewall protection but MS did a great job fixing the bugs in Win2k and now EVERYONE can enjoy this great OS. BTW BlackICE 2.1.22 works just fine with SP1, but ZoneAlarm doesnt. I wonder if you removed your firewall before installing SP1 and then reinstalling your firewall will help matters... O well I'm happy ------------------ ____________________________________________ Windows 2000 Advanced Server Soyo SY-6BA+III Motherboard Intel Celeron 433 256MB PC100 RAM 27 GB Maxtor UDMA66 HD 40 GB Maxtor UDMA66 HD Pioneer DVD-303S Ultra SCSI DVD Drive Yamaha 6416S SCSI 6x4x16 CD-RW Drive Diamond Viper V770 Ultra 32MB Diamond Monster Sound MX300 RealMagic Hollywood Plus DVD Decoder Card Avermedia TV/FM98 TV/FM Tuner/Capture Card Optiquest V73 17" Monitor Altec Lansing ADA880 Dolby Digital Speakers ____________________________________________

I am currently running BID 2.1.22 (2.1.u) and after installing SP1 and reinstalling BID everything works just fine and have had no problems at all. I'm not sure what the very latest version is but i know my copy works. ZoneAlarm was giving me problems before and after I set up SP1 on this computer (Win2k Asv Server)

DrShmoe keep in mind that just because a company files for bankruptcy doesnt mean that they have no hope at all. If you remember, Creative Labs drove Aureal into bankruptcy by filing a lawsuit against Aureal claiming that Aureal violated certain patents on Creative's EMU sound chips. A good bulk of Aureal's money was spent on defending the lawsuit, and even tho Aureal emerged victorious in the end, it sapped their resources pretty bad. Creative filed the lawsuit knowing full well that even if they didnt win at the very least they could drive Aureal out of business. For this reason, i will never buy another product made by Creative Labs. It is my hope that will Aureal's new President and new board members, they can continue to be a driving force in the way 3d sound is heard.
