There's your problem, robb. ME bites...

I've had few problems running Win2k that weren't my own fault and I've been running it since it was a beta. One of the more stable pieces of software that the evil empire has written in quite some time...

 

Yeah you guys were telling me about how bad it is before. I'm a TOTAL newbie when it conmes to computers.

 

My dad had Millenium and was having the same problems. I loaded Win2k and his computer's been trouble free for a couple months now...

I'd either downgrade to 98 or upgrade to Win2k if I were you...

 

Yeah I should.

 

I've been running XP pro since last year and have had 0 software issues. The only problems I did have were with a piece o crap AMD processor (Athlon 1ghz) and the piece O crap Motherboard (AMIBIOS) it was on.

IMO, XP is worth the $$$, if not pro then home edition.

 

I've got a copy of XP Pro laying around that I was putting on my laptop, but it put up a fight with my AirCard so I uninstalled it. I'll eventually put it on my desktop instead...eventually...

I was in the "slow" group! 125MPH for us!!!!

 

Thanks Mr Wiggy!! It was a blast! here is one just for you

 

I had the same problem at first, but when you have the time to sit down and surf the net and get all the XP compatible drivers, it's worth it. Personally, I suggest saving the drivers on a disk for future recoveries. I have had to do a repair or two, but mostly because of hardware induced problems. It helps to have those drivers readily available.

 

Now that I have it on both computers, I'm not sure XP would be worth the $$$ to burn it onto a $1 blank

Seriously, things that were so simple in win2k (which I had been running since 1999 ) are a royal pain in the rear with XP. I spent an hour and a half last night tinkering with network settings just trying to get one computer to "see" another one on a 2 box network.... to no avail. Took me about 30 seconds in 2k. Typical of M$, they try to make everything user friendly, and end up ing it up and making it twice as hard for people who know how to do stuff themselves...
