NT 4.O OR 2000

JMD

Just a question guys, not trying to start a 3 mile long thread. But I have been using NT 4. O for a while now and I love the thing, I need it for my Cad programs among other things. The only down fall is there just isen't a lot of games out there that will play on it.

Microsoft Trial is Crap

Brian Frank

As much as I dont like a lot of what MS does, I think this trial is a bunch of crap. Im not say MS didnt do anything illegal, but what this trial really comes down to is that some people are pissed that MS is making all the money and they're not.

Ground Contol Problems

Exorcist

Hi, Think I posted something about this 7 or 8 months ago. Couldn't fix it so gave up. Anyway, reinstalled Ground Control today, patched it to 1. 0. 1. 1, and still get the same error. Installing GC comes up with hasn't detected DX7, won't run without DX7 thing, but I have the latest DX8 installed.

Terminal Services Web Client

I don't know if anybody knows about this, but you can access your terminal server in Win2K with this page. Bear in mind that 3389 still has to be open/forwarded to the server, but it works well. Regards, clutch.

Need MX300 W2K Drivers From Aureal.com - HELP!

Vechlor

Before Aureal’s support page closed, they had a beta version + DOC file to help with the installation of the vortex2 drivers. I used to have them burned on CD, but I don’t anymore and they where the only ones that seemed to work very well for me when I had W2K installed.

Windows XP 2428 Doesn't start.

elomire678

I just started to install Windows XP build 2428 on my machine and it won't get past the Starting Windows Whistler part in the non-GUI setup. I've had this problem with earlier builds, 2416 and 2257. Beta 1 (2296) was the only version that actually booted on my machine.

Changing the Command Prompt Font

Intlharvester

Kind of a silly question, but is there anyway to get W2K to recognize different font options for the command prompt? I have a few other FON and TTF files installed (some of which support the DOS codepage), but the only options seem to be Raster Fonts and Lucida Console.
