Win2k RC2 (2182) & LiveWare 3.0 fix
This is a discussion about Win2k RC2 (2182) & LiveWare 3.0 fix in the Windows Hardware category; Here's a copy of what I just sent to Anthony. . . anyone else run into this? - Greetings. . . I followed your directions numerous times in the latest update of your Win2k fix. . . there are a few items that took place that weren't in your notes, and I ended up with an inoperable system under your fix I'm afraid.
Here's a copy of what I just sent to Anthony... anyone else run into this?

Greetings...
I followed your directions numerous times in the latest update of your Win2k fix... there are a few items that took place that weren't in your notes, and I ended up with an inoperable system under your fix I'm afraid... had to go back to the WDM to be able to boot...
I have the LiveWare 3.0 CD, rather than the download.
After executing the instructions to copy the drivers to c:\audio\english\nt4drv and up[censored] the drivers there, I booted to safe mode and executed run.cmd. Afterwards, the system was unable to boot normally. I had to come back in to safe mode and perform the next set of operations, to check the box reading "do not map through this device." After this, the system booted fine.
However, after I continued on and installed LiveWare 3.0 from the CD and then reinstalled the driver as per your recommendation (to fix the launcher), the system was once again unbootable. The system hangs at "preparing network connections" and never comes out of it.
I've tried and tried to get through it using every idea I can think of based on your instructions... after four hours, I gave up and uninstalled LiveWare 3.0 and the driver... went back to WDM.
Any ideas on what could be causing it?
BTW, I'd like to help rewrite your instructions if you don't mind - I can clean up the instructions a little for you... however, I need to get it working first
Thanks.

i'm sorry to hear you're having such a crappy time with that. i know i struggled for a few hours, to the point of being very close to dumping 2183 from my drive before finding the fix that worked for me.
and that was the instructions by the same gentleman who i see has a new updated fix on the front page of this site. i don't know if this was the one you tried, but the one that worked for me on the first try was his instructions for the 2151 build. don't ask me why, but it did.
fwiw.
