HP Colour LaserJet 8550N & Win2K w/Macintosh Services...

dcxman

Morning all. I got a new one for you. I recently purchased an HP Colour LaserJet 8550N and have it queuing to my Win2K Adv. Server with Macintosh Services enabled. The printer is currently shared to all on my network and the PC's print to it transparently.

Soundblaster on DOS games.

Spectre630

Just for shits and giggles I tried to play an old DOS game the other day and it detected my soundblaster but I couldn't get any sound. I had heard that WinXP was supposed to have native SB support in the DOS emulator instead of having to use VDMSound.

Monitor standby problem in SP3

Ignis Fatuus

Could someone perhaps help me to resolve the following problem? I have been running Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 for some time quite successfully. During this time I have had my computer set to switch off my monitor to standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Reset all files permission to Windows default, possible?

htsource

When I installed XP Pro on my laptop, I made some security changes to Administrator profile so only the Administrator can touch C:\Doucments and Settings\Administrator. Not even the Administrators group can access the files inside.

Medal Of Honor and NT

bisone1

How is it that everyone here is saying Medal of Honor will run under NT, when MOH needs directx 8 or greater to run? I have recently tried to install the demo and it will not let me past the directx 8 install.

What's the verdict on SP3, then?

packman

It's been just over a month now since Win2K's SP3 was released. How many of you keen Win2K Pro users have installed it yet? If so, have you had any problems as a result? I'm wondering whether I should install it, myself.
