How do you remove the build number from windows xp build 2504? And I don't want to do the " Lock Desktop Icons " thing, it makes everything look really crappy. Is their a way other than that? I tried the regedit thing, with the Paint Desktop value, that didn't work, any other way, any way at all????? Falcon26

Ok Rc1 is out, but what about the people like me who paided $10 to get the preview version of it, when do we get an email from MS saying, ok guys here's the link and password to download Rc1???????? Anyone have any idea when MS plans to send out the links and passwords for the people who paided for the pre-view?????????? Falcon26

Anyone know when MS plans to release RC1? I thought it was this week but I guess not. Falcon26

When is the Preview of Windows XP due out? The one that people signed up for I mean. I thought it was this Monday the 18th but I guess not, anyone have any clue when its due out.......... Thanks, Falcon26

Ok I just signed up for the Rc1 and Rc2 of windows XP. I did the download version since I have DSL it should only take about 30 minutes or so to download 100 megs+, but my question is when will microsoft send me the link to download it? It says on their site June, but when in June anyone know???? I really want to get my hands on XP, it looks pretty cool. So if anyone out their knows when they plan to give RC1 to the Preview people (The ones that paided for it) please let me know.... Thanks, Falcon26

I tried that, it didn't work. Thanks, falcon26

Ok does SP2 finally fix the problem with using win2000 to play games at only 60hz refresh rate???? I mean can you finally play your games at 85hz and above without applying any outside fixes? That's the only thing that stops me from using win 2000, because all my games only play in 60hz, and its really bad on the eyes. I have tried all the fixes out their and nothing works, so hopefully SP2 addresses this problem and fixes it! Falcon26

Ok I have a IBM webcam running under W2K with service pack one using the VIA Chipset I believe its tje 133A VIA chipset. I can use the webcam fine, but when I shut it off it complete locks up, I try and shut it down with the task manager but that does nothing, it brings W2K to its knees, I have to turn off my computer completely to reboot. Anyone have any ideas what would cause this? I have never seen anything that could really bring down W2K but this does everytime. My friend has the exact same setup as mine, but he has the Intel I815E chipset, and it runs fine no problems what so ever. I also have all the lastest patches from VIA. Any help would sure be great.

I have Pacbell Enhanced DSL using the Cayman Router. When trying to use Netmeeting with my webcam I am able to call my friend with his Ip address but when he tries to call me it doesn't work. Netmeeting lists my Ip address as something that couldn't possible be a Ip address. When I goto the networking icon in windows 2000 for Ip addresses it just says DHCP enabled, I called Pacbell they game me an Ip address but still when my friend tried it he can't connect, none of my friends for that matter can, I can call out but I can't recieve any calls. Am I missing something here, how the heck do I tell what my Ip address is, it seems no one at pacbell has any clue, is their a way to tell somehow somewhere within windows 2000? Is it maybe because the cayman router has a firewall or something (I dont't think it does)..... Please help! Thanks, falcon26

Why the hell did I buy it :-(( I think I will cancell it............ falcon26

Hi, I just purchased the public preview of Windows XP for $20, but I couldn't find a date when it would be released to the general public for testing, anyone know when microsoft intends to ship the preview which people pay for? Thanks, falcon26

When is SP2 due out, I thought it was supposed to be out in like Feb then March now here comes April, anyone know when its coming out? Thanks, falcon26

Ok, I asked this about 2 or 3 days ago, and no one seems to want to answer it, but does anyone has any clue when the geforce 3 is due to hit stores? Thanks, falcon26

Anyone know when the first Geforce 3 based video cards are due out to the stores? Not that I am going to buy one :-) falcon26

Ok, Right now I have a Cayman network router which Pacbell provide. It has a DSL modem built into it, which is cool, this way I don't have a DSL modem as well as a router hanging around. But I hate the way it looks (I know that's pretty lame) but its really ugly and it looks like its from the 1950's or something. The DSL line goes in the back of it and the 2 computers I have hooked up to it, are pluged into the front of it, making it really annoying to have wires in the back as well as the front, I have to twist and turn the wires so they fit right. So I guess what I am asking is, what is the best ALL-IN-ONE network router solution? Something that has all the wires and cables in the back of the unit. I have heard great things about linksys routers, but I don't know if I need a DSL modem for that, pacbell took my modem, because the router has it built into it. Any help would be great I'm only looking to spend around $200 to $300 on it. Thanks, falcon26
