Help - anyone able to change the resolution of Metal Gear So

oozle

How can you change the resolution in this game without being booted back to the desktop? Each time I click on a different resolution than 320, 240 it says do you want to restart now, and when I select yes, it just boots back to windows.

I did a search on Dual Boot, and didnt quite find the answer to my question, so I thought I'd toss it out to you guys to see what you could come up with. I am currently running an 1gig Tbird with two hard-drives.

Off Centered Games

Brian Frank

Okay, I tried out a Radeon card, and took it out. Uninstalled drivers of my V4 and everything along with it. I didnt like the Radeon, anyway now the V4 is back in. But all my games are off a little to the right.

HP ScanJet 2100C - got Win2k?

Down8

Has anyone been able to get this scanner to work rightr in Win2K? The install app closes itself with the 'OS not supported error, and a manual install gives nothing but a process that pulls 100% processor usage and a little movement from the scanner.

Hey all, I just purchased the AMD K7 Thunderbird 1. 2GHZ processor (not the 266FSB), and I'm trying to decide between the Abit KT7 RAID and the Abit KT7A RAID motherboards - what the hell is the difference, besides the $20.

For Philip or SHS: Just out of interest. How much disk/storage space does the entire NTcompatible message forum use? I mean, we don't post many pix etc, but I would be interested. .
