Hibernation Problem

Mark W
When I tried hibernating for the first time, it shutdown fine but hung when I tried to restart. I can live without hibernation (it would be nice but not essential), but it left a 128mb hiberfil. sys in my root directory.

"Plug&Play compatible OS..", enable or disable

Avalance
Do I actually gain anything by having the Plug&Play compatible OS setting set at ENABLED in BIOS?? Or should it be disabled? Until recently I’ve kept it ENABLED, but when I installed a new network-card last week I had to disable it, otherwise Win2K (or Win98 for that matter) wouldn’t detect the card.

Startup Problem

Mark W
About 3 out of 4 attempts to start win2k give me the following blue screen error: Stop: 0x00000067 (0x00000004, 0x00000007, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_Failed When I do get it to start, it seems to work OK.

Switching from UP to MP

CUViper
Hi I seem to remember this being an issue a while back, and i don't remember if it was ever resolved. You CAN install another processor without reinstalling win2k. . . the instructions are here on the ms site: Hope this is helpful!.
