ICS Troubles w/ ports

Jeeves
I've been having weird ICS troubles. . . I have it set up with my XP rig and my housemate's 98 box, and the 98 box is connected (because it can share files and see each other on the network,) but it looks like some sort of weird port problem is going down.

Add ratings to Database?

DosFreak
For Hardware/Games add ratings from different magazines? I say magazines instead of internet sites because they have been around the longest and have a rep. Computer Gaming World/PC Gamer/Maximum PC/Computer Games.

USB 2/Devices: How good are they?

Cynan
Hi. After having my main PC in my room for quite awhile and putting up with the noise it generates, I had a thought about shoving it in another room and replacing all the devices that need access (CD, CD-RW, DVD, floppy) to USB ones and running a really long cable to my room where a USB hub would be.

Problem Booting

Ace
OK I got a problem which I guess is kinda related to the video card. See I downloaded a video card driver and I installed it. Then it ends up its the wrong one. I have a ATI 3D rage PRO AGP 2x. Then when restarted the computer it stops at the part when it says starting up and the bar stops like in the middle.

I have been running 2k for 7 months now logged in as a administrator. I have read in other forums that for security reasons AND for performance reasons you shouldn't do this. The administartor function runs additional processes that the regular or power users don't need.

Updated Slipstream Guide

DosFreak
1. Make a folder on your C: drive. Name it the same as that of your CDROM. Ex: W2PSEL_EN 2. Copy the Windows 2000 CD to the folder. 3. Download Service Pack 1 from here: 3. When download is done copy sp1network.

ASPI fix works great

snakefoot
Just changed from SCSI to IDE, and had uninstalled my SCSI controller and then my cd-rippers stopped working. (They would only recognize my Daemon Tool virtual cd-drive) Tried to install ASPI 4. 71 but no cigar, but then I find this and it works like a charm.

thugmoni
I recently installed Windows 2000 on my 450 mhz pentium 3 w/ 256 megs of ram. The video card I am using is Nvidia RIVA TNT. Windows 2000 installed its own driver for it. I downloaded detonator driver for 2000/XP from Nvidia.

os

steveo69
After encountering some problems with my os win2000, I decided to install win2000 over the top of the last. My problem is whenever I boot it is asking which operating system to start. How do I get rid of the first with the problems on it, that problem was to do with SCVHOST.
