Railroad Tycoon 2 (II) on WIN XP?

Flarestar
Not that it only wouldn't work. It won't even install. I don't know what to do. The install shield just aborts before the installation has even begun. Strange, isn't it?.

Blackberry RIMs

DS3Circuit
This is a warning to all other Blackberry Administrators. Cingular has been migrating their database of users in the Northeast and apparently lost records of who has paid for services and who has not.

Sorry &!*$# Dial up access

mezron
I'm on dial-up and usually connect at around 28. 8. A lot of times when I try to download a page that has a lot of images it appears as though IE tries to download all the images at once and can't so it gives up and I end up with a bunch of broken images.

outlook allows you o specify whether to send in RTF, txt, or HTML. It does not however allow you to disable reading in html hen it is sent that way. Here is how to have it automagically convert the HTML email you receive into txt format before you read it.

IE 6.0 w/SP1 won't boot on WinXP

cmmahone
IE was working fine, then one day it wouldn't boot. When you left-click on the icon for IE, the hourglass pops-up for a couple of seconds then dies. No link inside of an e-mail will take me the Internet either.

Graphics API

NemesisX
Hey guys, it's me again. I'm also looking for a good Graphics API mainly for graphs and stuff. Basically 2d should be fine, with speed and prints out to the screen rather than to a jpg, gif, etc. Disregarding OpenGL, DirectX, GPI, and wxWindows.

ICQ/AIM.. Firewall?

NemesisX
Just been having some trouble with ICQ and AIM. When I connect to ICQ I frequently get disconnected and it takes a while to reconnect. Sometimes it doesn't even reconnect at all. This is mostly the problem with ICQ.

Open Resources in NT 4.0 server is incorrect

mabuhay
This morning the Open Resources (files in use) on our server (NT 4. 0)showed one user with about 50 open files from the server shared directory. This was preventing others from editing the files. In reality, he didn't have ANY of these files open on his system.

XP Prefetch problem

Bobb
I used a program a few weeks ago to clean the prefetch folder and ever since it's been empty? some things have seemed slower or slower to load when windows restarts, like Nav and NPF. In the registry enableprefetcher is set at 3 for both, I've got no more idea's.
