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!

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

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.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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