Just complaining about ConXion...

Reidyn

How frustrating. I finally receive the RC-2 download notice, get home, start the download, and. . . . . get 9-11k/s. This is far below the 1,300k/s that I have seen a time or two, the 200-400k/s that I get on a regular basis, and the 100k/s that I got while downloading RC-1.

W2K Boot up time - is 60 seconds short or long ? seems like

David here

My old WinME setup would go from turn on the power switch to desktop in about 35 seconds. W2K takes about 60 seconds to do the same. Is this a quick or slow boot-up ? Is there ANY way to make it noticably quicker ? David.

Norton Antivirus 2001 & RC1

miku

Hi Guys, I just noticed that Norton 2001 Auto Protect cannot work in RC1. When it starts it notifies that it will make the system unstable and therefore doesnt load it. I updated it from Symantec Site but doesn't work.

Partition Magic

TheDragon

The current version of Partition magic that I own will not run unless its under windows 2000 (I had it installed on 2k before I upgraded and now have it installed in XP). I ran it in compatibility mode and made the neccesary changes to the partitions, which requires a restart.

Win2k Server setup keeps restarting itself after it installs the networking stuff, it won't go past that, it'll just reboot the computer then restart setup. It's a continuous process.
