Whistler Beta lets MS technician connect

Dirty Harry
How about this cool feature in XP (beta). Anybody heard of this ? If ANY error occurs while the OS is running, the OS connects your internet connection and sets up an IP logging session with the main MS server.

Office 2000 pirated version solution.

Cardinal
I came across a registry hack that, while combined with a certain crack fixes the problem people have with Office 2000 and their service pack. The solution is too long to mention here but if anyone is interested, it's relatively easy to follow, simply consisiting of one 'hack' and applying the aforementioned crack.

Problems with Alpha Centauri/Heroes III

Vemund
Hi all! I've been searching this forum for an answer to my question without success, so I thought I might post it - sorry if this has been posted before. Alpha Centauri: Game seems to work fine under Win2000, but for some reason I am not able to move units around with the keypad (yes, I checked - NumLock is on).

2428 = Best Windows yet

Four and Twenty
I have been using windows xp build 2428 for a few days now as my main os. It has performed exceptionally. I never imagined that it would be so much faster than windows 2000. It boots as fast as winme and has all the 2000 features and then some and it is a dream to work with.

Not A Nivdia Prob

Driven
I've tried installing build 2428 and I get stuck at the same spot too. I use a TNT2U card and it still halts. So I borrowd my brother's Voodoo4 and the same thing. Next I pulled out my old ATi All-in-Wonder, and it still hangs at that same spot.
