Is it just me or are the SB live drives next to useless? Most games seem to crackle, spit and pop along and I dare not turn on EAX. . . . . latest Creative drivers. Should I removce and replace with my old Diamond MX 200 A3D card? AMD K6 III 450 TNT II Ultra 6.

DX5 Patch?

cephraim

Many of the games listed as compatible with NT4 require the dx5 patch. Where do I get this patch. Does it require running DX5? If so, where do I get that. And, how do I know which version of DX I currently run? Thanks.

Alice

peejay

In case anyone is wondering the hit game Alice works just fine under Windows 2000 (at least on my machine). I bought a copy from someone I knew at a store so that I would have no trouble returning it if I found a repeat performance of NHL 2001.

Need For Speed 2 SE works in W2k....

pmistry

Yeah I got NFS 2 SE to work under Win2k. THe only thing is that I had it installed in Win98, and then when I booted up Win2k, and double clicked the NFS2SE EXE file, the game ran without a hitch. It even emulated Glide on my GeForce2MX with the help of the MGLIDE wrapper.
