Windows XP Pro vs Windows 2000 Pro

gilgamesh

What are your guys opinions on XP vs 2000? I have used XP Pro for a couple months now. At first I was impressed, but I find myself wanting to go back to Windows 2000 Pro, where there is not as much overhead, like with the skinned GUI and other background services.

Chris Franklin

We have got an issue with application we need to install urgently that requires us to upgrade to Windows 2000 server. This means I will need to migrate the domain. I just want to sanity check my migration plans and hopefully get some tips on how to make it go smoothly.

New CPU = random lockups

Avalanche

Hi all. I just upgraded my CPU to the highest spec my mobo can officially take, an AthlonXP 1800+. Surprisingly it runs close to 10 degrees cooler than my old 1. 2Ghz chip, so I know for a fact it's not overheating.

ecthelion79

I can't get soul reaver (I'm talking about the first one) to work on WinXP. The game crashes the second I double click on kain2. exe. I don't even get an error message, windows just aks me if I want to report the error.

Remote control mouse

Here's my idea: You know those micro radio-controlled cards made by Tomy (mine's called a Char-g I think) well I am thinking about buying a second one of the same frequency so that I can drive two from one control box.

Older Shoutcast Plugin - Where to find?

Hykster

Does anyone know where I can find the Shoutcast 1. 80 plugin for WinAmp so I can do broadcasting over WinAmp? I've searched several sites and come to find that the sites have broken links for the plugin because they no longer have it on their FTP.

Best 2D - yes, 2D - graphics card

Rogue Jedi X

The topic kinda says it all. My friend is looking for a good 2D graphics card, since he uses those Photoshop-like programs so much. He's currently using a GeForce card (don't ask which, he never told me) and he's about to hurl it out the window :x Any suggestions?.

I'm curiuos as to why large company uses the dot instead of dash for user email (name. lname@xx. com) Is that a restriction of their web server where the _ is a reserve character? I have friends with emails using the dot scheme.

Optical mouse light stays on

TheSam

Hi everyone I have an ABIT SR7-8X motherboard and a Logitech Wheel Mouse Optical with a PS/2 adapter. When I turn off the computer I find that the mouse light is still on and the mouse is active. I could turn this off with a jumper on my other computer but there doesn't seem to be one on this.
