Sims Livin Large

agorlow
Has anyone gotten the Livin Large expansion pack to work in Windows 2000? I downloaded the install fix patch from the Sims website, and that didn't work. I also downloaded the compatibility program from this website to try to make Livin Large run as Windows 98, and that didn't work either.

ACPI Timer

luigi2000
Is there someone reading this who knows for sure that the Power Management Clock updates the system time in a Windows 2000 ACPI uniprocessor PC? Starting last week about every other day, the system time on my PC intermittently counts an extra one to nine seconds in a minute.

Ok, so loads of people have written about this and I feel like a complete dumb-ass because I still can't get DOTT to work. I have the cd rom version of it (the classic one I think)and I am running XP.

Slipstreaming SP2 into Windows XP

overworked
I recently slipstreamed SP2 into Windows XP the same way I slipstreamed SP1 into the same and SP 3 and 4 into W2K. Unfortunately, now when I boot off my freshly slipstreamed WXPSP2 media, it prompts me for the SP2 CD.

Running Mechwarrior under Windows XP

Rokk3000
I have the original DOS Mechwarrior game, which I like a lot more than Mechwarrior II because the controls were simpler and let me get right to the action. It ran beautifully on my old 486-66 with the use of the atslow program, which would have allowed it to work properly on computers up to about Pentium 120, but w ...
