Mocrosoft Dual Strike

Spastic Computer Guru

I have a USB Dual Strike controller, in 98 it worked great, in ME however it does not work. When booting up Windows detects and installs the drivers for the controller. But after windows is booted it shows it as being a regular old gamepad, I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for it but still no go.

When trying to play this game under Win2k, the initial MS/Angel Studios logos come up, but the game kicks out to the desktop at the point where the loading screen that follows this gets to about 20%.

Why is DirectX so slow in Win2k?

JediBaron

Just thought I'd ask this to see if anyone knows. It's a question that's been nagging me for some time. I just can't seem to understand why directx runs so much slower in Win2k. The problem has never affected any other graphic api's such as OpenGl or Glide so it's not something that is just because of the os being ...

ANSWER! Random Shutdowns

FKTOAST

You guys want to know why your systems are randomly shutting down or why you get caught in a reboot loop? The answer is that 2000 will shut itself down if there is a problem. Somewhere you have a screwy driver or 2000 doesnt like you hardware or bios settings.

Office 2000 Pro/Win2k Server/I'm going insane!!

Well a LOT has changed since NT 4 SERVER!!!! Perhaps once I learn all the differences I will find 2k Server easier and more flexible, but so far it's driving me nuts. Ok here's what's going on. In an NT4 Workstation/Server environment here would be the steps to install office 2000 over the network.

Internet slower in Win98?

kingtrey

i have played around with various operating systems, namely Win98, WinME, and Win2K, and i noticed that in Win98, the internet is always limited to about 100 KB/s. . . i've tried tweaking programs but they never really seem to make a difference.
