I did the patch last night and created an image of my partition to bootable CD-R's after reading on the ticker tape news, an alert by Microsoft for everyone to patch their OS because of a known vunerability. The patch number/article is: KB824146, Sept. 10, 2003. Go to updates and initiate the...

I am currently running with the SCSI Adaptec 2940U2W with no problems at all, but whenever I R&R the host controller to the new 29160 (Flashed with current 3.10 BIOS), I get the BSOD upon booting into W2k "Inaccessible boot device". Reinstall the 2940U2W and no problems booting whatsoever. I...

Ok, I'm trying to prompt "text" to print in another cell as a result of a nested-IF formula in a different cell. Ex: =IF(B11>B16,SUM(B11-B16)*B10,IF(B11<B16,SUM(B11-B16)*B10,IF(B11=B16,"$0.00"))) This is the forumla I'm using in cell B17 to calculate the resultant variance between cells B11...

Well I did some checking and if cabling is in question then this will at least answer one question. The Adaptec 2930C is a Single-Ended (SE) device AHA-2930, and according to Adaptec here is the cable lengths for SE devices: General SCSI information for the Zip® SCSI drive Make sure your...

It looks to me that your device ID's priorities are not configured correctly. In general it is better to put slower, but less-used devices at the higher IDs and leave the hard disks at the lower IDs In order to avoid conflicts when more than one device tries to access the bus, the SCSI bus...

Thanks for the clarification, and I do appreciate your information. I just used the NFTS DOS program and copied all the small important non-program stuff I needed stored in some folders. Now I will do a clean install of W2k. Thanks again.

I know the two file systems are different and have no relationship in accessing one another, except for NTFS capabilility to read and write to FAT32 but not vice-versa. I did mention that I do have a recent backup of my software hive, but was unable to access the %systemroot% directory. Maybe I...

Wow! thanks for the info. At least I can move/copy most of the important things I need before doing a clean install of W2k. As I read it's capabilities, I will be able to copy from, but not sure if I can copy to. Oh well, I'll find out in a minute, but at least I feel better in not having to...

This is a last ditch effort to get around having to reinstall W2k. Does anyone know of a third party software that can access NTFS via FAT32? I have exhausted every means to restoring a saved copy of my W2k registry onto my main system with no success. I have done everything I know to do just...

dszd0g, You seem to be up to speed on the specifics of ATI driver problems and work-arounds, even in specific games. Do you get your information from personal testing, or communiting on 3DRage forum? If there is another information sites, please post it, or else later on if you don't mind if I...

BFG10K, If you say all drivers in the Catalyst series are unified, why are the downloads segrated by OS's for selective versions of Radeon's? When I hear unified I get the impression that there should be a single download for all Radeons cross-platform OS, but this is not the case. I may be...

Mootorks, So, are you saying that the drivers on the install CD are v7.6/7.7 = Catalyst v.2.2? I guess I'll find out today when my card arrives. Yes, I went to the 3DRage forum and read the known problems with certain games, and I hope I can do a clean install as they mentioned on 3DRage site...

Thanks for the link.

Any of you have the R9700 yet and tested it's performance with the Catalyst 2.1 or 2.2 drivers? I don't see any new drivers in support of the R9700 on ATI's web site, in fact drivers for it specifically are non-existent on their site. I will be getting my R9700 in a couple of days and was...

I have a (ATI Radeon 64 DDR VIVO graphic card) installed, I dual boot W2k & Win 98SE but in both OS's I can play any other game except WarCraft III. I love this game but my video card can't handle the drive of this game. I have update BIOS, installed Catalyst 2.2 drivers, ver. 6118 (W2k) & ver...
