there are usually different .inf files within those drivers

Don't you get tired of being wrong?
Let's have a look at some drivers. Say, the nVIDIA nForce chipset drivers.
So..
c:\nvidia\nForceWin2KXP\4.24
Now, within there, are multiple drivers for multiple bits of hardware. However, there's something missing. Oh, that's right, there's one driver for 2000 and XP.
Next!

I'm saying that you flunked English. Spelling, punctuation and grammar ring any bells?

um retard.. windows 2000 has been around since 1998 I tested it..
it was released in 1999 to the public...
and do some freaking math idiot... what date is it today...
we are almost to the end of another year.. the OS is actually almost 6 years old if you want to get technical..

I don't think you quite understand.
You yourself said that Windows 2000 is five years old. For the sake of argument, let's take the "age" of an OS (meaning the final, grown if you will, product) as it's public release date.
So 2000 is five years old, give or take a few months.

Now, I said that Windows XP is four years old.
I'll say it again: what's your point?
If you need it explaining further then I suggest you contact your local education authority and inform them that you're too stupid to enter the adult world.

Also, this is the 21st century, "smacktard".

ya and? this OS was written before the milleneum....
therefore my statement is correct...

Again, shooting yourself in the foot. By inviting bamacre to "join the 20th century", you were implying that he is, in fact, living in the 19th century. Guess what, genius? Computers weren't around then.

Also, I would dearly love to see how you can invite someone to the past, i.e. the 20th century.

This last statement is still as laughable as it was when I responded to the above poster..
YES the drivers were silmilar... but there were not 100% functional..
these are 2 VERY VERY different OS.s if half you freaking retards were actually in the Industry and supposted and trained on multiple OS's instead of just reading the freaking web all day you might GET A FREAKING CLUE.

I am "in the industry" and I am trained on multiple operating systems. Any response along the lines of "well, you can't be very good then" will an admission on your part that a) you're not and b) you're twelve.

Plus, did you see the part where I said "half the 2000 drivers"? I'd say that's roughly 50% functional.

just becasue drivers were cross platform does not make them the same...

See above regarding nVIDIA's nForce chipset drivers.

So get the fvck off your so called high horse and do some freaking homework asshat.

I enjoy evenings laughing at people like you. Your little temper tantrums really are quite amusing when viewed from a different perspective.
You may feel that you are intimidating and that you're shouting down on someone, when in reality, you're beating your little fists against the desk in rage that you can't think of anything less childish as name-calling.

2000 is NOT designed as a gaming OS...
that was my POINT...
XP does this better and it works 500% better in that aspect..
END OF FVCKING ARGUMENT..

I actually agree with you on something: Windows 2000 is not a gaming OS. Correct.
However, that's not to say that it won't play games. I find your claims of "500% better" laughable. Show me some real, solid proof that 2000 is, in fact, a better gaming OS* and I'll eat my desk.

* = in terms of real-world or benchmarking results, aiming to prove that Windows 2000 is consistantly greater than 20% slower than XP.

Run along.

Wrong, that's you, and you know it.

Correcting mis-information is not immature.
Please, I beg you, show me one instance of my name-calling to you, other than quoting what you wrote: "smacktard".

you pissed me off yes..

You shock me.

did I EVER 1 TIME personally attack you in the history fo this message board?
no i think not so you sir can take your immature self and suck a nutsack..

If you feel that you are being attacked, then I suggest you seek professional help for insecurity issues. I have not come into this thread for the soul purpose of attacking you; indeed, I believe that you have attacked anyone who has "dared" to question your holy writ.

as for your intrepretation of what was posted here.. fine whatever but you proved everything I was trying to say in your last line...

that was the entire point of this BS was that right there....

Actually, I wasn't denying that Windows 2000 was not designed as a gaming OS; I was merely pointing out that 2000 & XP share the same codebase. As do 2000 Server and 2003 Server variants.

Please explain how I insulted your age. I said "Any response along the lines of "well, you can't be very good then" will an admission on your part that a) you're not and b) you're twelve."
Did you post "well, you can't be very good haha"? Nope.
So am I calling you 12? Nope.

so FUVM Dopefiend go smoke another fatty and tell yourself how superieor to everyone you are.

I shall, for in your case, it is oh-so-true.

ok so the dolly, the flunking english, and the other go run and play, condecending remarks were not insults.. ok i see how it is in your little world...

you are a troll...

next time see your way to read the whole thread before calling the person that was trying to help the asshat...

they as in MORE than 1 BOTH using 2000 were having problems running this program
i suggested to try xp
and they went off thier holy speil about the evils of XP OS...
My entire point of this tirade was that 2000 does have some problems with certain games....
that is IT..

we were argueing but you were not involved.. next time keep the extra comments to yourself and if you feel like it state the facts...

otherwise id expect that type of behavior from someone that takes pride in being a dopefiend.. which btw is nothing to be proud of.

No, they were off-hand remarks. Sorry if you can't tell the difference.

next time see your way to read the whole thread before calling the person that was trying to help the asshat...

I read the entire thread.
I decided I'd post.

Good enough for you?

they as in MORE than 1 BOTH using 2000 were having problems running this program

Translation please.

i suggested to try xp
and they went off thier holy speil about the evils of XP OS...

Sorry, what are you talking about?

My entire point of this tirade was that 2000 does have some problems with certain games....
that is IT..

I was not debating that. Do I have to spell it out for you again?

Actually, I wasn't denying that Windows 2000 was not designed as a gaming OS; I was merely pointing out that 2000 & XP share the same codebase. As do 2000 Server and 2003 Server variants.

You're posting on a public forum. Funnily enough, that means anyone can post there. If you want to conduct this kind of affair without someone pointing out that you were wrong about something, then keep it to email or another private medium.

I will continue to post freely in threads as I believe that if you tried to deny the free speech of a human being, then as American, you would be being un-patriotic. Therefore, the comments will go where I see fit.

Lastly, I have stated the facts, three times. Go back and read them, and show me proof otherwise. Then I will eat my desk. Show me proof. Me eat desk.

Got that?

otherwise id expect that type of behavior from someone that takes pride in being a dopefiend.. which btw is nothing to be proud of.

I would expect this kind of behaviour from virginal 34-year-old geeks who live with their mother.

If you want to sling insults, then at least try and sling it at something other than a stereotype, otherwise this is just boring.

... there you go, getting into it. Did that make you feel like you had an enormous penis when you wrote that?

prolly not becasue your too busy smoking crap and talking crap...

It's not crap, and I take that remark as a personal insult.

It is fine Colombian.

Peeps like you make me ill and imagine I served our country to defend retards like you...

You didn't fight for me, you flew your planes into your allies. Wow, that's extremely intelligent. Well done there.

Now turn to Chapter 15: "Profiles".

sigh...
what a world we live in..

hope that works out for you..

Rather nicely, thanks- I won't attempt to draw the size of my penis using a list of "accomplishments" however.

/me puffs a bit, contentedly.

While the conversation debating the differences is educational and entertaining. You guys are missing the point.

The original poster bought a product that claimed to work on an OS. It really shouldn't matter how old it is. Provided that the OS itself is running at it's highest patchable* version, that the hardware is running at it's highest patchable* version, then the game really should be fine on the advertised compatability OS.

* = Or tested/recomended version from the game dev's

CVSiN said:

if the game runs well on other systems.. this is not the fault of the company... that is the fault of the consumer for not staying up to date or knowing how to tweak thier system to stay current..

If this was a two year old game I would have to agree with you, it would not be the Companies responsiblity to insure their game runs on an outdated OS. However this is a new game, and the purchaser has to be able to rely on the "required specifications" listed on the box. It IS the game companies responsiblity to ensure at least minimal playability on those required specs.

It doesn't matter who's right, or who's penis is larger. They sold him a game that they told him would play on 2000 and it does not. He is not the only one, I have a friend with the same issues.


Here is what we did for him. If your running nvidia card, roll back to to either the 65.xx or the 60.xx versions of forceware available at www.guru3d.com

This worked for him, maybe it will work for you. My advice is to keep up with maxis and stay tuned for 2000 fixes. Without making exsuses for them, its hard for them to create a game campatable with both the current leaders in OS's, two leading vid card manufacturers, and a host of other drivers and/or hardware extras. In time I'm sure they will have a patch for nearly all if not all of the problems that are happening with that game.

[imported_Phil]

Well said.

 

[bamacre]

Thanks Dopefiend and Tazi.

At least someone can make some sense out of this.

CVSiN,

You have no right to call others trolls, accuse them of name-calling, and also accuse them of trying to paint a picture of a bigger penis. In fact, it was YOU who first did all of the above. Don't believe me, go back and read through the thread.

By the way, your advice sucks. Telling me to go out and buy a $150 OS just so I could play a $50 game is not an option.

And, one more thing. Don't look down upon or ridicule people for smoking pot. Doing so makes you look very naive.

And Tazi,

Yes, my system is fully up-to-date in regards to drivers, updates, DX, etc. I'm now awaiting response from EA games and will look for patches.

Another "well said" :beer:

Have you tried running the game in compatability mode?
Right-click the game's shortcut, Compatability tab, check "Run this program in compatability mode for" and try Windows 98/ME- see if that helps.
Did you try the "patch" <cough> to see if that cures the problem? I remember that my version would crash like a b@stard until I removed the CD check. I'm not going to let EA ruin my enjoyment of this game with their absurd copy protection routines.

And who the fvck are you to judge other ppl's life? And who are you to know what each one is trying to accomplish in his life? And why we should take your word for granted? Just because you were a MAJOR GEEK in your childhood? Or is it because you had 2 unsuccesful marriages? Oh wait it's because you defended your country from the "evil" rest of the world right? Don't make me puke warfreak...
