MSI K7T Pro 2-A and Win2K

Monk
I'm having a problem installing Win2K on a ATA33 hdd with the MSI K7T Pro 2-A m/b. During installation I get a BSOD 0x0. . 7B Inaccessible_Boot_Device stop error. After going through MS's KnowledgeBase, I realize that the problem may lie in the fact that all the IDE ports are ATA100 capable.

WDM Drivers

RussellWild
Hello group: In some very early preparations for the upcoming Windows XP, I want to review which drivers on my current 2K system are WDM. Is there a way to do this? I looked on the driver properties in Device Manager but that didn't seem to help.

Dissapearing mouse

mike3411
Whenever I move my mouse over text, such as on a web page or in word, (any time it should be changing to that I cursor shape) it dissapears. I've tried messing with the mouse settings, to see if the icon file is just corrupted, but that doesn't seem to do any good.

IIS6

sixtyniner
I noticed that build 2428 uses IIS6 for the server portion of the OS. The thing is that its basically crippled and unusable at this point, is this the case for you guys using newer builds? Just wondering because I was going to install the OS on my webserver but can't untill IIS is fully active.

Every time the phone rings W2K freezes. This is definitely a W2K thing cause the same box w/same hardware doesn't do this in W98SE. I use removable drive trays to switch OSes. Anyone have a clue as to whats going on???.

Zoom 2920 PCI Voice Modem not working right

jrini
I just bought this Zoom 2920 Modem. 1) The directions for installing the modem under Windows NT are incorrect. The Setup. exe file the directions say to execute does nothing to get the modem installed under Windows NT.
