    How do you do a completely fresh install of win2k?

    I'm getting really sick of the Direct3d problems I am having and I think the only alternative I have left. How do you do a completely clean installation of win2k that will basically delete the windows directory then reinstall a new copy? I know that when you try to install win2k, it gives you...

Anyway, I tried a lot of thing including reinstalling directx 8, reinstalling via 4 in 1, reinstalling radeon 7020 drivers, and reinstalling games. When I run a dxsetup from a...

    Help! My Direct3d games are running in 256 color!

    Ack! Apparently I deleted some important files in the main Windows directory that my computer didn't like even though they were 0K. Anyway, now when I run games that need Direct3d, the games play in 256 colors and the colors don't even really match what colors are supposed to be used. I have...

    Are these 3DMark scores up to par?

    I'm running 3dmark at 1024x768 res 16bit with directx 8 and the 7020 Radeon drivers and I get a range of 3750-3850. Would you say this is a good score for my particular set-up. I'm also really confused why my performance drops significantly when I switch it into 32bit mode. My score drops a...

    Should I disable AGP 4x and fastwrites on this system?

    I installed a Radeon recently but I'm still not that impressed with performance in UT. I'm running the game at 1280 res at 16-bit but still only get an avg of 40 fps. Would disabling AGP 4x improve performance? I realize win2k drivers for Radeons suck at the moment but I still should be able...

    Should I get a Asus Geforce2 MX or Radeon 32MB DDR for this system??

    Hi, My Voodoo3 3500 has gone nutso on me so I need to replace it and am considering these two cards, the Asus Geforce2 MX and Radeon 32MB DDR. I hear that Radeon's are better in game especially in higher resolution but that Asus has much better drivers. They are pretty close in price taking into...

    Where can I d/l full version of Nero or Adaptec Easy CD Creator?

    I recently upgraded to win2k and my older adaptec software doesn't work anymore even though I installed forceaspi. I d/l the demo of nero which works fine but there is a trial period for it. Thus, I'd appreciate any links to where I can get either of these programs. Thanks

    Floppy (A:) drive problems

    Ok, my A: floppy drive has never worked since I got it a few months ago. About all I know is that the BIOS seems to recognize it and it gets listed among all my drives in windows. However, when I try to use it and put a floppy disk in, the disk is not recognized as being there and it'll...

    Intellimouse Explorer help

    Ok, since Intellimouse software isn't available for win2k users (I recently upgraded), how do I set my Intellimouse Explorer side buttons for 'Back' and 'Forward' while I surf in Netscape. For some reason, it works when I use Internet Explorer but not Netscape and I prefer using Netscape...
