GeForce 2 install bug found

ThC 129

Im trying to confirm this but so far it seems when whistler tries to install GeForce 2 chipset cards during setup it will freeze the computer. It has done this with 2419 and now 2428. If you have had either of these builds install correctly with a Geforce 2 card please post here so this bug can be proven or disproven.

What's the progress with NBA2K1 and win2k? For me, when I click on nbawin. exe all I get is the NBA logo and then get booted back to windows. No error, nothing. Since you can get NBA LIVE 2001 demo to run under win2k, can't you copy some of the demo files over into the full version? Also, since NHL 2001 and FIFA 20 ...

I'm looking to get a new motherboard, and I have my eye on Abit's KT7A board (along with an AMD 1GHz Thunderbird). I see from previous there are a few problems with ATA-100 and Win 2000 with this board.

1 key instead of the 3 finger salute

nagual

some time ago i read that you can make a shortcut to the 'minimize all' icon, modify it, and then youd be able to make it whatever you wanted to, amongst other things binding a key to ctrl+alt+del. How do i do this?.

Beta Tester

ancker

I was just curious as to where all of you signed up to be a beta tester. I have looked and looked but I can't find a sign up form anywhere. . I'm sure it's too late for XP but could one of you point me in the right direction so maybe I can be a tester of Windows 2010.

ATA100 & Window XP

Four and Twenty

I have Windows Whistler build 2428 and I was wondering if this build includes ATA100 support. The disk acess seems to be faster than win2k with the ATA100 patch so I am pretty sure that it is enabled I was just wondering if anyone knew for sure.
