SCSI Controllers

BladeRunner
We have just had a workstation delivered with an Adaptec 19160 Ultra160 card in. Little bit confused here, but can older devices like a Pioneer DVD-ROM, Yamaha CD-RW & Iomega ZIP drive be attached to a card like this? I'm assuming they are backwards compatible with non-Ultra160 devices?.

NVidia WHQL 6.62 or 7.17????

Mike Zamarocy
Really folks, which is the better driver for the games, and works with DX8. 0a? The 6. 62 seem to work fine, but it has been said many times that the 7. xx drivers were MADE for DX8. .

blurriness/choppiness in Q3

anak1
I recently moved from 98SE to Win2K. It's a great OS and games run fine for the most part except for a choppiness and bluriness that occurs when i strafe/move the mouse at the same time in games like Half Life/Q3.

NFS4 High Stakes fix

KODEN
FYI: For anybody who is using the -patchrestart argument. Using -d3d1 works a lot better. Instead of starting at the multiplayer screen making you back out, the game starts normally. .

QC Pro (beige) & Win2k

ChrisD
I noticed that the 4. 1. 1 drivers can work with this cam and Win2k. I downloaded the drivers from this site and only have half success. After I say yes to the digital signature it fails saying: The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name.

TV Tuner card Advice needed.

mello_j
Hey Guys, need some advice. I am interested in getting a TV Tuner card for my system. On Ebay I notice a lot of tuner cards by Hauppage (or something like that), connecting via a PCI slot. Does anyone have any experience with this card, and whether or not it works smoothly in Win2k? Thanks!.

Does power supply affect stability?

Marchuz^
I'm running Win2k 100% stable on my computer at home but when I go to a LAN-party or a friends house to play some games I get random crashes or BSODs, mostly KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or just a reboot.

Hidden & Dangerous in W2K - WTF?

MartyBarty
Here's the mighty problem. Hidden and Dangerous works in W2K if you run it while logged in as Administrator, but if you try to run it as anyone else, regardless of user access level, it stops, saying it can't find the CD.

Services in W2K

MartyBarty
Hi there, I was just wondering what services can safely be shut down assuming I am a home user with a dial up internet connection. I was particularly thinking of Plug N Play service, can I shut this down between hardware changes? There was an error processing this directive.
