    IE6 is everything except bloatware. It's fast, stable, looks like IE5 no skins. It's IE5 with improved security and a handy picture bar that appears when you put your mouse over a picture, which makes saving pictures a piece of cake.

     

    I really recommend IE6. It's great. Loads as fast as IE5, and surfing seems faster.

    Their is nothing to configure in the install as there is no useless crap installed with it, just the bare IE6.

     

    install it, you won't regret it.

    I really don't like this mouse, especially the scroll wheel.

     

    Is it a malfunction of my mouse or do all mouseman wheels feel so loose. i mean, normally a wheel clicks while scrolling and it scrolls only when clickig (at least on my good old MS wheelmouse). But here with the logitech mouseman the wheel can be turned 1 mm before clicking, which makes it scroll too (3 lines, like set up in control panel). this is very annoying, example:

     

    i am surfing a webpage and i scroll down to the bottom of the page, but when don the wheel scrolls 3 lies up by itself cuz the wheel is so loose...

     

    Anyone else experiencing this? is it like this with all logitech cordless optical mouseman mice?

    For now i'm back to the good old MS ball mouse, as this logitech one gets on my nerves.

    I got a logitech mouse (cordless/optical) and my wheel was reacting weird in win2k (but not in winMe): it didn't scroll all the time in windows and didn't scroll at all in quake3arena.

    I then went in the mouse options in control panel and put "use ms office compatibility scroll only". Now it works great.

    I hope this helps.

     

    Also, download the latest mouseware from www.logitech.com

    I didn't change any settings in pcanywhere yet as it gives the problem immediately after rebooting after the setup.

     

    Windows gives me the error: "error loading nvcpl.dll"

    ThC is 100% right.

    I used to buy cheap media (i'm still using a good old hp 8200i burner), and 50% of my cd's came out as coasters. Then, once, i saw a list of recommended brands on the cdrwin site (http://www.goldenhawk.com), since i've used those brands i must say most of my cd burned perfect. i got no burnproof thingie at all on that burner and only a buffer of 2mb if i'm not mistaken.

    When i install it and reboot, win2k boots in standard vga mode. When i uninstall pcanywhere and reboot, the colors are normal again. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

     

    Ohw, i checked the compatibility database on this site and couldn't find an entry about PCanywhere 10, only about 9.2 which seems to run fine (i don't have this one tho)...

    i think you'd better use bios 1.26 and drivers 1.26. these are the drivers that fixed compatibility issues on IBM harddisks. 1.28b fix issues on the maxtor ata100 HD (+ they slow the whole thing down).

     

    you can find beta bioses at:

     

    ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw

     

    as for me, i gave up that crappy highpoint, it locks up my computer all the time (i got a maxtor hd, and the hpt366 has only probs with it, the solution of highpoint for that was making the hpt370 chip, bastards). I bought myself a promise ata100 pci card and it works great now, + it was very very cheap.

    i felt like i should give you a much more friendly answer than that EM-guy. jeezes this guy will scare new members away from the forum, if he doesn't have time to answer questions, then he shouldn't even bother typing those almost-insulting-lines. anyway, i'm a little sick of whiners: "blabla, go check this first, do more research before posting in forums, yada yada, this doesn't belong in this thread, moderators please move this topic!, bla yada yada".

     

     

    To answer your question:

    ------------------------

     

    Your setup is very good (i'm assuming you got a fast cpu with that geforce 3) to run games in win2k (especially the RAM part, win2k uses a lot of ram for its basic services (140 MB is used here right now), so 256 is the minimum for games. And the geforce 3, i don't know any issues with win2k. Use the compatibility list on this site to determine if you games will run on win2k.

     

    I can tell you Half life,unreal tournament,quake 3 and soldier of fortune work great. I don't have tribes, so i can't help you there.

     

    Anyway, welcome to win2k and to this forum smile

    That doesn't work. The computer just resets when i choose "Windows Me" in the boot menu. Here's how i installed everything:

     

    1) DISK 1, on the promise pci controller: win2k

     

    2) A few weeks later i decided to install winMe on DISK 2, on the default motherboard controller (cuz of a scanner that doesn't work in win2k).

     

    I can boot either OS by changing the first boot device... But i wondered if it was also possible to do it through a bootmenu.

     

     

    I have done dual boots before, using the win2k boot loader, but both operating systems were on the same HD then, winme on a primary an win2k on a logical partition. So win2k put its bootfiles on the winMe partition, then what "bobbinbrisco" said worked.

     

     

    Do i have to put my win2k bootfiles on the winMe harddisk?????

     

    If yes, which files do i have to move?

    I got a ata100 drive connected to a pci ata100 controller. this is my boot drive an all win2k boot files reside on it.

     

    I installed winMe on a ata33 drive on the IDE1 controller of my mobo.

    What lines do i have o add to make the boot menu see winMe??? My current boot.ini looks lijke this:

     

    [boot loader]

    timeout=30

    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT

    [operating systems]

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
