  1. It runs perfect on my machine with XP english version, installed with Windows ME, and then used the rightclick compatibility mode W95 but only to stop my usb joystick from behaving weird.

     

    If you need more info, feel free to ask, this game was a classic for me for many hours\days also.

    The only thing is thats maybe impossible to install through XP, but than you might be able just to copy the files to harddrive, because the game doesnt write anything into the registry.


  2. For me its W2K all the way, having problems with xp right from the start (betatester). W2K is faster in rendering mpg4, uses less resources, doesnt need activation (whatever that is...), lets me install new hardware without reactivation (see above), has not 20 spywares installed per default from ms, is rockstable and in my eyes its the os ms has put most care in, as it was the first merging of nt and w9x.

     

    Beside that i use server 2003 rc2, but only once in a month to nourish my W2K from the outside.


  3. As i am not using xp anymore, i sold my copy of xp professional and use windows 2000 and server 2003 testversion, i am not familiar with xp home edition.

    But from what i had on my share of problems with xp, could it be that these poor users just fall in a trap-bug from xp home, maybe 1 false click and they lock the door themselves, unknowingly????

     

    Do they use a simple freeware firewall like yonealarm or sygate personal firewall?


  4. These Daemon Tools guys belong to this category, they sell their product as an advanced version with up to 20 or 40 virtual drives under a different name, and keep the free version for private users, they also have a brilliant support forum for private users mostly concerned with game-backups and anti copy protections.


  5. After using Raid 0 for years, the maximum was with 4 harddrives, trying almost all different combinations, i came back to disabling Raid alltogether. My impression is that copying files from 1 harddisc to the other is faster then copying from Raid to Raid. (100GB 7200 WD drives)

    What can mislead is SiSoftSandra, but my personal impression now without Raid is different.


  6. Hi killersheep, i use for the Nvidia 43 driver a tool (freeware) called RatePatch.exe. It even works on Windows 2003 Advanced Server RC2.

     

    When this does not work, you might have messed something by editing the original driver. So you MUST first uninstall the Nvidia driver, reinstall the WHQL 43 driver, reboot, use RatePatch.exe, reboot, and then u should be fine.
