Manipulating registry files

Dirty Harry
Anyone know of a way to edit/change the registry of a non-running XP installation ? I have a dual boot system (normally XP1/XP2), and I refresh the XP2 partition fairly often. The XP2 is just an image of XP1 which I use for testing purposes etc.

Need For Speed 6: Hot Pursuit 2

pmistry
Anyone looking forward to the Need For Speed title, I know I am, I just hope that the PC version will be similar in terms of features to the Playstation 2 version. Oh by the way EA, I hope you make it run properly under Windows 2000, unlike Porsche Unleashed and High Stakes.

Internet Explorer 6 - Drag Link Not Working

Does the front page bother anyone else?

DosFreak
The NTCompatible page is easier on the eyes and encourages me to actually read the frontpage whereas at LinuxCompatible I scroll down looking for specific things that I actually want to read. . . .

60 Hz refresh rate bug in win2k

mave
The fix presented below include only editing of windows registry hence no need of running any third party apps of unknown origin. Theoretically this fix should be display-driver/adapter indenpendent since it modifies settings for the monitor rather than display-drivers/adapter itself.

32 Bit Color

gilgamesh
I just had a quick question. Does 32-bit desktop color depth have any adverse affects on performance or does it make no difference? I was just curious.

I just strated to play AvP2 for the first time and the graphics are absolutely horrible. From the briefing cut-scenes onwards the display is filled with various kinds of 'geometrical' (for lack of better word) patterns, mostly seem to be triangulars,flashing, changing and giving me a headache.
