well it fixed some issues with the button styles for me .. was getting lots of overdraw in menu areas with 2410, 2416 seems to have that licked on my tnt2 system
Other than that, a bit of refinements here and there.. and more updates to the setup program
still playing with it will keep posted of any earthshattering differences

On the same subject, my wife, who once subscribed to the MSDN (or whatever it is now), is going to start doing so again.
She has no interest in running Whistler on her machine, but I'm curious about running it on mine.
My machine's kinda dated; a PII 333Mhz. But Win2K runs much better and faster on it (especially now with 192MB RAM) than Win9x. The code for Whistler, still being in beta, probably hasn't been optimized for speed yet, so it might make a significant difference in how it operates on my machine. Anyway, that's my guess.
Is anyone here presently running Whistler on such a low-end machine, and how is it doing?

my cousin has Pentium 2 at 350 Mhz and 128 MB of RAM and it runs very good, but 350 ain't much anyways. Other than that, everything else is ok
Well well well.... NWA is pretty well represented here hehe
Yog, now you Mr.guv ;-)
oh yeah, btw, Whistler works fine on my machine

Just upgraded my Win2k to 2410 and it works smoothly on my end.

I have problems with a few games, with both 2416 and 2419. Giants freezes and drops to desktop if I press escape (maybe a dialog box I cant see?) and Oni the mouse is very laggy. Diablo 2 works fine though, but thats not a 3D game (at least not a real one)
I have EXACTLY THE SAME problems. Even with 2419 NFS 5 drops back to desktop.
I cannot install Nvidia Detonator driver beyond 6.34 without having a flashing screen all the time.

6.50 works fine here, NFS 5 works fine here.
Beta 2 will be released tonight (Friday), or Monday anyways

Awesome. This should be an interesting release.
Get ready for a shock tho, I'm reading that the GUI is gonna be....quite different. Shame too, I was just starting to get used to the snazzy Whistler GUI.

I'm a tester, it's not going to be different. Just better, more customizable and very malleable, which will cause almost infinite UI possibilites, from high or low color icons, modes, menus, skins, colors, styles, fonts, etc.
cool cool. I look forward to running it when it comes out. Maybe the Hollywood+ issue might be fixed but probably not.
yeah, bug the manufacturer then, it ain't MS's problem. Believe it or not, I don't really care which you think, MS gets about 90 % of their drivers from the manufacturers, so if a device is not working, bug the manufacturer
Unless the manufacturer is Creative Labs, then you might see driver releases about 6 monthes after the RTM of XP.
If it is creative labs you're pretty much f***ed.I know i got a decoder card by creative and i got to partion my hardrive to use it
