The copy I picked up at CompUSA this week for $8 seems to work just fine under W2K Pro. Being only an occasional gamer, however, I couldn't give you a good idea how fast or slow it was performing.

Not trying to steal this thread or anything, but I can't buy the video card as a potential cause, at least in my situation. Even when I remove my Riva TNT AGP card and use the onboard video of the D815EEAL, this thing just will not boot without punching the reset button.

Several years ago there was quite a fuss made over this neat registry edit which would "morph" an NT4 Workstation setup into an NT4 Server (details here http://www.lehigh.edu/~rjm2/ntwntw.html). I don't believe there's any way to do it for Win2K Pro, however. I'd say your best bet is...

So what account are you using right now to access the web and post this question? Does that account lack email capabilities?

I'd say CTR hit the nail on the head here. You won't get a full duplex link out of a simple hub. A switch is required for that.

Just an FYI, I believe that all of these "deals" required a contract of a certain length--I think it's a year.

98lite is an awesome program and it truly can speed up the Windows98 environment. Check out the propaganda for the "98micro" install option here: http://www.98lite.net/98micro.html

Found a site (www.3dsl.com) that has the file. Here you go: WDM4_10_2500_44.zip

Yeah, that sucks that they link to the old Aureal site which appears to be down for good. I may have them at home in which case I could set them up on an FTP server for you, so let me check when I get home this PM.

Mark Misasi writes some of the best NT books around. He has a very recent one called Mastering Windows 2000 Professional that's really good and in fact, we're using it to train our support techs at work for an upcoming Win95 to Win2K migration on all of our desktops. I've got the whole...

Sure, I think it's called NDS for Windows NT :) Actually, I think Novell calls it eDirectory now.

See if you have better luck at the Corporate update site here: http://corporate.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

At my company we use WhatsUp Gold to monitor hundreds of servers simultaneously. Not only will it do simple ICMP up/down tests and send alerts, but it can also monitor services like HTTP, FTP, etc. as well as user-defined services. Excellent product, but kinda pricey for personal use (although...

You can either stick with the drivers included with Win2K (which aren't too bad in my experience), or try downloading more recent versions at Vortex of Sound.

You'll never have much luck using the minimum memory requirements on any version of Windows. Bump it up to 128MB and see what happens.
