Need RAID expert-----NOW!!!!!

Brian Frank
Okay, I have an MSI 694D Pro-A motherboard with the Promise PCD20265 ATA100 controller plus a limited FastTrak BIOS with RAID function. I install Win2k on my hard drive this time and it will boot up fine on the regular IDE channels, but it is seen as a Free drive in the Promise RAID BIOS.

Netscape loses, blames MS!

CyberGenX
Netscape has lost over half of its market share in the broweser world and they say MS is to blame. I think that Netscape 6. 0 was to blame not MS!!!! And what ever happened to Netscape 5. 0???? Let's just blame MS and all will be fine! Bad NetscapeAOL!, you did it to yourselves with a crappy browser.

Internet Explorer Window Size

PinkPanther
Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to force IE to open using a specific window size, or is there a utility that can control this? I run my desktop at 1600x1200, and I do a great deal of web design.

Can't force XP to install with ACPI HAL

*Iblis*
I'm trying to install XP on a system that I've had for a while but it refuses to install with the ACPI HAL. If I leave the installation then it uses the 'Standard PC' HAL according to device manager.

Dungeon Keeper 2

ri-rilot
Can't seem to get this one to work under XP. I have installed the latest updates (1. 7 which gives Win2k compatability). When the game launches all seems fine until you try to start a game at which point it bombs out to the desktop.

Lost control over Dial-up folder

Thunder
Suddenly for some reason I no longer have any control over my connections. From the folder I can't connect, view properties, make changes, nothing. No error messages but when I click something nothing happens.

Disgusting D3D Performance?!?

Palos
It makes me scratch my head in awe. . . Picture Counter-Strike in OpenGL runs with over 100 FPS, I am using a ping optimizing script that limits the FPS to 85 (same as my refresh rate). When I try to run in D3D the FPS drop to 25-30 !!!! Anyone have any idea why? Specs: AthlonC @ 1.

WIN2K font

andoni_cristina
I have a problem with my default font at Win2k after I installed the 3ds Max. My default font changed into the italics one. I want to change it, but I do not want to reinstall. It changed at the whole OS level,not only MAX.

Joystick problems

ConQueso
My Logitech Force 3D joystick has developed a glitch. Sometimes it'll send a quick signal that the joystick is farther forward than it really is. (The image linked to below is my running the joystick from its bottom right to bottom left on the test pagethe black line should be all horizontal).
