Norton Speed Disk and Win2K SP2

Pikey

Hi Since installing SP2, Norton Speedisk throws up a warning about compatibility with said SP. It seems to run fine in analysis, but should i be aware of any issues if i put it to work optimizing? My guess is that it will work just fine anyway, its only a bloody SP.

WinRoute Pro

Cynan

Hi. When using ICS, all incoming traffic is sent to all of the internal machines. There is little setup needed for a large number of programs to work. However, ICS is, well, crap, and I now use WinRoute.

Emagic Logic Audio Platinum & Win2000 Server

darkthrone

I need major help. I noticed on the what's compatible page (for Win2000 on this site) Logic Audio Platinum was listed as compatible and worked fine with no problems with Windows 2000. I really need to get this audio software working, otherwise, it's the dreaded Windows 98 SE route.

Setting up a program as a Service

brainsoft

I would like to set up Genome to run as a service on my machine, but I've never done it in Win2k. I learned how to do it in Win9x last week, but that was pathetically easy, Win2k has a lot more services, and the registry is designed much differently in the service department.

Dual-Boot Same email?

GWSHU

On a dual-boot system is there an easy way to tell Outlook Express in Win2k to use my identity(s) from Win98 so I can use both Outlooks and keep my mail and newgroups in sync? I would prefer to make the changes in Win2k in case I later decide to change it's disk to NTFS.
