Ultima 9 probs

jra101

I just installed Ultima 9 on Windows 2000 final and it starts up, displays a loading screen, screen goes black, flickers, and im back at the desktop. I was having the exact same problem under Windows Millenium and I had no sound card drivers installed, I installed them and now the game runs great in WinME.

Laptop OS choice

INFERNO2000

I recently purchased a laptop, and am debating what to do with it. . . It's a K6-2 400, with 64 RAM(96 is my ram works in it), a 4. 3GB Hdd, and a Virge Video Card(2MB). The video card basically negates playing too many games.

VDMSound -- does it work? Yes, with the proper DLLs.

vladr

If you had trouble running VDMSound it could be that you were missing a couple of DLLs from Microsoft. Go to for the list of DLLs plus information about how to download them. I apologize for not realizing that at least one DLL does not come as part of the standard Windows distribution.

fighters.net and ntcompatible.com same IP?

piXelman

Why do and have the same IP? I have some friends who cannot access NT Compatible because of this. . . they get an error. If they enter the IP as the site, it pulls up the fighters one, and not NT compatible.

Printer problems and services

KAC

I turned off a load of services that I thought I wouldn't need in win2k pro and now I can't get my printer to work anymore. When windows boots, it tries to install the printer but comes back with a message saying that it needs the RPC server but I can't find that service anywhere.

IE 5.5 slower??

ODiN

After reading on Betanews about people experiencing faster loading of webpages with IE 5. 5 Final, I was disappointed to see that it's noticably slower on my machine. I also think there's a memory leak or something because just watching the IExplore process in Win2k, I can see the memory usage rise incredibly quickly.

Creative Labs SB Newsgroup

Shrink

It appears as though any posting to the group is currently being blocked by Creative as no new messages have been posted in the past 2. 5 hours. Looks like they aren't particularly happy with the overwhelming negative response to only the drivers for Win2k being posted, rather than the full package as promised.

K6/2 and Win2K problem

I am having a problem with my processor speed and Win2k pro. I installed Win2k on my system and it detects my processor as about 250 mhz. I have a 450 mhz processor @500 so it is running half speed. I don't get it.

Liveware 3 broke Tribes/Win2k

Tribes was working perfectly on Win2k and Liveware2. But after LW3, tribes freezes when I run it. Someone told me I needed to uninstall LW2 completely before installing LW3. Anyone have this experience?.
