Win2K Liveware is EVIL!

tony1c
I can't imagine how a prominent company like Creative can have something like this available for download on their site. If you feel you must install Liveware for Win2K go ahead. You might want to have a spare computer available though.

WINDOWS 2000 AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Helpmeplease
Hello, I have a Creative Voodoo 2 12mb card and a ATI Rage II card. I have installed the latest windows 2000 drivers for my voodoo 2 card. I can play quake 3 arena, but I have no glide and direct 3d support, so I can't play F1 2000 and Need for Speed 5: Porsche Unleashed and all the old glide and direct 3d games.

Okay, let me try to explain this a little clearer. The current setup I have is a G400 Max as primary video card with a Voodoo2 for 3D and glide support. Along with that is a REALMagic Hollywood Plus DVD card.

Freezes (not random lock-ups)

Exorcist
I've been having a fair few occasions recently, whereby trying to start a program up - causes the system to freeze. . . . the program (it can vary sometimes) won't start. . . starting task manager doesn't help because i can't see the program to kill it.

Liveware problem theory.

rbarbier
It looks to me but most (not all) people that are having problems with the newest Liveware for Win2k are running dual processors. Maybe because they had the Nt4. 0 drivers installed first or something but this is just my theory.
