Change Default Monitor-------How?

Kyosho46vr
I have Win2000 and a Hitachi CM751 monitor, however in Monitor Properties it says default monitor and I cant change anything. There is no monitor in device manager either. In the registry it shows the CM751.

Mark W
I have been experimenting with different drivers for my Linksys nic (lne100tx). After fooling around I have reinstalled the original built-in driver that comes with win2k a few times. In device manager it is listed something like LNE100TX Fast Ethernet #4.

Soundblaster PCI128 recording problem

stelios
I am using Windows 2000 Pro with a soundblaster PCI128. The problem is that when I try to record in Stereo (sample rate doesn't matter) the result is two identical channels. When I move the balance from mixer the channels are showing the same level all the time.

Problem with Plextor PX-32TS CD-ROM with Windows 2000

millennium1000
I am encountering problem with my Plextor PX-32TS CD-ROM after I installed Windows 2000 (Final Build 2195). The drive often time will stop spinning and respins as if a CD was just newly inserted. Sometimes this problem could last for a few minutes, and it is very annoying while playing games or when I'm just trying ...

Confusing hard disk-NT installation problem

mariner
Posted this at anandtech but haven't found the solution yet. Gotta IBM Deskstar ata66 7200 rpm 13. 5GB hard disk. Installed it on Abit BP6 in the ata66 socket. Installed 95b. Worked fine. Then I installed the ata66 drivers and it still worked fine.

Win2K on ThinkPad 600X?

tony1c
Has anyone installed Win2K on an IBM ThinkPad 600 series? I'll be getting one with Win98 and am wondering if I'm taking too much of a chance by installing Win2K at the outset. Tony.

Win2K on IBM ThinkPad 600X

tony1c
I installed Win2K on my IBM ThinkPad 600X, and I have to take back most of the bad things I've said about Win2K. Installation was flawless. Only problem was with the sound not working. With some research I found that I could get sound working by a little trick turn off mute.

CDR software in win2k?

yakko7178
Hi, I'm running Win2k Server on a computer here at work (trying to get it to work as a backup for our NT4 PDC, but that's another story). This computer has a SCSI CDR drive that's worked great under NT4 Server, but EZ CD Creator won't install under 2000.

Windows Time

Jzero
I'm poking through my services, and I see one called Windows Time. I am driven to assuming that the purpose of the services is not unlike TimeServ which was in the NT4 ResKit. I would like to use this to keep my system clock accurate, but I can't figure out how to configure it (point it to the time server).

Has MS bothered to fix the "sticky keys" on W2k?

- Igor -
There has been lots of talk about the sticky keys problem with some games on W2k. . . has Microsoft (or anyone else) provided any solution? Some problems appear to be PS/2 mouse related but that doesn't seem to be the case with Rally Championship 2000.
