Every time I install new programs, Norton tells me this very irritating message: Rundll is trying to access the internet. I do not want this function at all, how do I get rid of it ? I want to update my drivers and stuff manually only.

NHL 2002 and Windows XP

rjakubo

NHL 2002 is crashing to my desktop, right in the middle of playing the game. I read at Gamespot. com that EA sports games prior to the 2002 series are incompatible. I figured NHL 2002 would be fine. EA technical support says the game wasn't tested on XP, but they haven't heard of any incompatibility problems (yadda.

DOS 8+3 Character names

Ekstreme

Hiya all, I disabled 8+3 dos filenames, and have since realised that my damn scanner needs it activated to work. I know how to re-enable it, but how do I make windows go back and set names for all files on the system in this format? It doesn't seem to do it unless you re-create the file.

FFVII True Motion Upgrade Prob

Clark

Hellow! I'm new here and have a wee problem with FFVII. Well, It works well for me under Win2000 while using Qfix. BUT! When I first played the game under Win98, the game would crash at the movie of the falling of the Disk Sector and the characters swing out of harm's way.
