Just thought someone might appreciate the humor of the situation. . . So I just installed Windows XP for the second time (I did a test-run on on old hard drive before I replaced my current OS, Win2K).

Multimonitor w/ good TV out

I'm interested in new video card that will support two monitors, has a good-quality TV-out, and decent 3D performance. I first looked at Nvidia chipset-based TwinView cards, but I was told that Nvidia chipset-based cards have poor TV-out quality, but more importantly these cards do not appear to be available with d ...

Large fonts system screwed up?

TBone
I know this isn't really a hardware question, but. . . Is it just my imagination, or does the large fonts and extra large fonts setting only increase the size of the title bar text?

Microtek "Scan Detect.exe" burns resources

SnapperOne
Moved from 98SE to 2000-Pro 'bout 90 days ago. Still working through some of the unforeseen problems; like Logitech's MouseWare drivers causing the system to reboot after the screen has been asleep for awhile.

Multi-Boot Win2k and WinME. WinME support NTFS?

HELLBRINGER
I recently switched to NTFS file system. I still have a few programs that don't work in Win2k. Should I get Windows Millenium and use multi-boot since Win98SE wont work with NTFS? Will Win ME work with NTFS? Or do I have to change everything back to FAT32? Thanks.

XP and Par Port WeeCam

goathead42
Just installed XP RC-1 on my workstation without a hitch. When I hooked up my Alaris Weecam to the printer port (and of course the keyboard connection) it shows up in device manager, but says it needs drivers.

Alternatives to SB Live!

BladeRunner
All, So, what alternatives are there for the SB Live!? I'm currently replacing my brothers old PII 300 with a Celeron 733 based system. Due to the 815 chipset, re-fitting the AWE-32 soundcard isn't an option - thankfully ISA slots have been ended!! So, if I want a PCI soundcard that offers good Win2k/9x support but ...
