Tribes 2 Release?

FKTOAST

Ok, so I have checked the website and asked around and no one can give me a release date for Tribes 2. All I know is that its coming out soon. I am a subscriber to the Tribes 2 newsletter and none of my emails state when the game is going to come out.

Games in Win2K

BOOSTD

Ok, I just found this site recently. I was kinda shocked to see that there were hacks you could do to get most games to work in Win2K. But I can't seem to find those hacks. So could someone here point me to some guides on the common tricks to get games to work in 2K?.

games freezing on load in Win2k

kearos

Howdy everyone I've recently updated to DX 8. 0 and at the same time, I decided to update to Det 6. 47 drivers as well (using a TNT but I figure I'd do the latest drivers). It wasn't until then that I've started experiencing occasional freezing when I try to play my games.

How do I get games to recognize?

JBoDEAN

Is there a way, to import part of the registry into a new account in win2k? Right now, i have all my apps/games installed under adim. I want to make a poweruser account for gaming, but when I do, and go in under that, none of the saved info is in the game (reg #s, etc).

Can I change the songs in THPS2 ????

Sparkhard

Hey does anyone know how to change the songs in Tony Hawk 2 ? I know how to change the track numbers. But i wanted to change the songs themselves. I think it would be cool to skate to The Spindoctors or something.
