Defragmenting on Beta2

buckley

I tried to defragment my NTFS drive last night. After 30minutes it was only 1% complete - which make me ask: Does defragmenting work at all on Beta2? Furthermore - what about hibernation? It hibernates all right, but freezes during reboot, when the logon screen appears.

Maxtor 60GB shows up as 30 in Win2k

ODiN

I don't know if it's the jumper configuration that I have for this new 60GB drive (only came with one), but I can't seem to get Win2k to recognize the HD as a 60GB. After screwing around with the MaxBlast software and BIOS, I was able to get BIOS to recognize the drive as a 60GB, but still no go with the OS.

Stupid Question...

Brian Frank

I probably know the answer to this one anyway, but oh well. That XP activation thing doesnt prevent you from using it on more than one pc right? Im just asking because my dad is getting a beta copy of XP through the RC program.

Have they fixed ..

Malkosha

the problems with Voodoo3 cards that the other betas had? The drivers released from 3dfx didn't load before. While this may be a driver problem and/or a 3dfx problem it seems to me that forcing a rewrite on drivers every time a new system comes out is poor quality control and a lack of vision.

XP Beta2 & Norton AV Corporate 7.0

BladeRunner

I'm having a little problem installing this under WinXP. I know Symantec admitted an incompatibility with the symevent file. The official instructions on the Symantec page only really mention AV 2000 & 2001, however I assumed the fix would be the same.

VIA in beta2?

Galilee

Should I install the VIA 4in1 drivers in WinXP beta2? Or atleast the AGP driver. Its often nasty if the OS don't like the VIA drivers. But my performance in games is not 100%, more like 80% maybe the AGP driver can help.

Santa Cruz FAQ sounds interesting, BUT . . . .

Mike Zamarocy

I was ALMOST ready to go out and get one to replace my crap LIVE! card until I read that to get rid of the junk CL drivers, I'd have to completely reinstall the entire Win2000 all over again (FRESH).

I just put win2k on my pc at work and can't get my scanner to work, it keeps giving me black previews and also makes the scanner sound really LOUD and rough. Just wondering if anybody got it working succesfully, if not then I guess I'll move it to a win98 box and have it set up a server.

2462- After running MSCONFIG, the following problems occured

Psyphon

I ran MSCONFIG to have a look around. Afterwards, i rebooted, noting that for the first time it actually failed to turn off but did shut down windows. Previously it had worked fine. When it booted up again, i realised i had left it in Selective Startup with all options ticked.
