Canon MP 3000

Sinster
Will Canon ever make drivers. I called them up and e-mail them. They told me No Canon isn't making drivers for that printer. Does anyone now a walk around or anything?.

Video out + win2k detonator 2 drivers

wind
Is it just me, or are other people highly irritated that you have to reboot to enable video out and reboot to change back to your monitor? I mean, video-out is for playing games and stuff, its not really for your desktop.

Hollywood + DXR3 + w2k = AC3 problems

Ethan_Palmer
I installed the hollywood+ beta drivers, the nt4 drivers, then the applications (DVDstation and Encore player). On both the DVDstation and Encore player, my AC3 is screwed. Out of synch by a fraction of a second, on ALL my movies.

3D Prophet DDR

John.Wood
I have WinNT sp6 PIII 800Mhz (dell) and a SB Live card running a 3D Prophet DDR card. My problem is when I run Half-Life in OpenGL-default mode it crashes after about a minute(needs power off) with the sound in a repeated loop.

APM and Win2K

Mr Furious
I'm now on my second install (thanks Toby) which is working fine. One problem has reared it's head: I can't set my computer onto standby and when I shut down, just after Windows disappears, the kernel crashes, so my PC doesn't power down.

NT4 w2k comparison

tpe
After upgrading (caugh) to w2k from NT4 sp6 I ran a couple of bench marks. I have not changed any of the settings, disks are set to dma all round. The hardware setup did not change. everything got slower (especially the disk mark nearly 50% slower) have a look at the clibench comparison below.

farphle
Hey guys, I just installed an MSI BX Master mobo and can't get WIN2K to boot while on the UDMA66 controller. My system is dual boot with WIN98 and WIN2K (on seperate partitions). WIN98 will boot just fine.

S3 Virge MX 3D Video card

INFERNO2000
Not directly related to Win2000 unless you count my intention to install W2K on the laptop this card is in. . . but I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of this card, and could point me to a place to get decent reviews of it? I believe it's a Voodoo1 era, maybe 2 if lucky.
