Title: W2K peoples! Read this!
Post by: Hippo on May 09, 2004, 08:23:21 am
We all know how w2k gives us bull for everythng we do, right? Well, why not solve it by running in compatability mode? What compatability mode you say? The one thats not enabled because M$ was stupid!

Simply type the following into the Start>Run dialogue:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll

You'll get a quick verivication message, and viola! Right click an icon, and change it to something it runs better in!

Guess twice why it was disabled.

1. 'Cos Dos boot disks exist?
2.  Because everyone should own at least one pirate copy of win98 by now?

:D

Compatibility mode == BAD NEWS.

All the compatibility layers lower te stability of Win2k unacceptably. The first thing any administrator (or home user) does--those who care about system stability, that is--is remove all the OS2 crap, the win16 crap, etc.

Maeg's right: you've got Win9x version somewhere. dual boot.

That reminds me, I need to download 98SE. Heard nothing but good about it, and yet I never was able to get my hands on it.

[color=66ff00]Everything I say pertaining to piracy is entirely hypothetical. I hope you're in the same galleon.
