win2k annoyances

lsavidge

Will somebody please help me? Win2k is driving me nuts. Eventually I find there is a tweakui for win2k and eventually I find a site that actually has a live link to it. Only thing is, it expires as far as I know.

Options Menu with Det 2 crashes W2K

Iasius

I tried out the settings in the Options Menu in the Display settings for my Geforce (Det2) and set it to Discrete Monitor Timing. Now I cannot switch it back because. . . everytime I do it, I get a blue screen (read at 0x0000000 or so).

Win2k Voodoo5 drivers w/ Voodoo 3?

SoUp

I heard that the Win95/98 Voodoo 5 drivers work with the Voodoo 3 and give a FPS boost. Anyone know if this is true with the Voodoo 5 Win2k drivers? Can they be used with a Voodoo 3 also?.

shouldn't a boot disk always work?

sang_drax8

Well i am running windows 2000 but recently decided it would be worth the hasle to reformat my ntfs partition and dual boot my computer so that i could load some of my more incompatable applications on to windows 98 and still use 2000 if desired.

Is there anybody who knows how to let the Snapscan 310 (parallel port, not scsi) work with the beta scanwise? I tried almost everything but the scanwise-software can't find my device. .

irq Sharing

brainnet

WIn2k sets all my expansion cards under the same irq. . 11 ( AGP, SOund, and NIC ). . and i can't manually change it. I have lots or free irq's. I have even disabled my Coms ports, but seems that the only win2k is interested is 11.

Warning: BX and GeForce 2

Greggy

Has anyone noticed problems running the nvidia GeForce 2 on an overclocked Intel 440BX motherboard? My 'old' CL GeForce SDR had no problems on my Abit BF6 at 133FSB (89MHz AGP), but my 'new' Leadtek GF2 GTS is displaying minor graphics corruptions if the FSB goes above 110MHz (73MHz AGP).

Hauppauge WinTV-USB

Bursar

I'm thinking about buying one of the above items (that also includes the FM Tuner), and I have read the notes about driver issues under Win2k in the Hardware Compatibility section of this site. I was just wondering if anyone has any other comments about the product, and if they consider it to be worthwhile.
