2475 and office2000 swedish

canonjon

The problem is that I can´t install office 2000 swedish oc my machine whem runing win xp (2475). The windows file protection keeps poping up, 2 or 3 times, and after that the installation quits.

XP Product Activation

MyNameIsRaGe

I'm willing to bet, that even if you do crack your installation of XP Final, which you probably will 2 days after it's released, chances are, Microsoft is going to try to make it a pain in the *** to run a cracked install.

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX140 laptop, on which I installed NT and have been unable to get the modem to work. I actually have been unable to find the drivers for it. I tried to use the driver package for Win 2000 supplied by Sony, but it wouldn't run on my machine.

SoundBlaster Surround 1024

lanzelot13

helle everyone! I have a problem with my soundBlaster Live! 1024 Surround System in Win2k: Two of the speakers work, and so does the subwoofer (but not in the quality as it does in Win98). So how can I hear something from the Rear Speakers too? I mean, its a surround system and I can only hear from the front.

PSX -> USB adapter

antareus

Anyone had any experience with these? PSX controllers are easily the finest available, PC gamepads always seem to feel cheaply designed and lack a good button setup. Do the converters work alright in W2K?.

Just curious..

I played with an older build of XP and am curious if they've fixed the icon for create a new folder yet? If you look in Explorer, on the context sensitive bar, Create a new folder had the default Windows icon.
