NBA Live 2001

BreadFan

Can anybody tell me how to run NBA Live 2001 in Win2k? I LOVE this game but hate Win98/ME. I can run the demo but the players are in a sudo wireframe mode. I heard the full game won't even install in Win2k.

Constant reboot while playing Giants

bando2000

When playing Giant, the game will reboot when going to another level of the game. I don't understand that. First it would reboot while loading, then I remembered I put -snd3d at the ent of the short cut to enable EAX, Because the game disables it by default.

Evil Everquest

Jimoin

First up, please don't bag me for playing EQ My problem is the system is really really slow under W2K. Zoning is slow, getting to the character select screen takes ages (goes to a black screen for a while before showing characters) and I also can't play mp3's or vqf's in the background.

Starcraft

pikapan

While playing Starcraft on BattleNet under Win2k, I often have problems joining games after I've played a few games. When I hit join game, the games available pop up, but everything shows up red and when I try to join, it says cannot connect or something like that.

Myst III on Win2k anyone?

Pinky

Has anyone had any success with Myst III: Exile and Win2k? I can do the install, but crash to a blue screen right after starting the game (after the splash screen). I just installed DirectX 8a and am running the Detonator 3 drivers for my Nvidia GeForce 2.

Jewel Of the Oracle

Avalanche

Does anybody know how, or if Jewel of the Oracle will run under Win2000? The compatiblity list only shows that it can't be run under NT4. A friend of mine is waffling about installing win2000 and she plays this old hunk-o-garbage game all the time, so if it doesn't run she won't install win2000.

Kicked back to desktop after a few minutes.

DremNeonBlack

Many of my games (seems most d3d games) jumps back to the desktop after a while. Just instantly Im at the desktop. And the thing is, the hdd reads for three/four seconds during this incident. I havent really been troubleshooting yet, but I still thought you could take a guess on what could be wrong.

Im amazed how something will work properly in one build and then a new one comes out and stuff gets messed up. For me Diablo 2 worked fine in build 2463, then I did a clean install of build 2465 and now I cant get past an error msg telling me that it cannot find my cd even though its in the drive.
