Okay, I finally got Win XP Pro now. But that's not all: I'm gonna do a complete system cleanup, means formatting, change partitions, change file system to NTFS and install Win XP.

What I wanted to say is that I probably won't be online for some days. So, no need to worry (or at least I hope so...)

Hm... have I said I won't be online? Heh, just gotta go and d/l some drivers for my components...

BTW: I currently AM running on Win XP - looks fine...

Heh. Think I need to upgrade, but I'll probably go up to Win2K rather than XP ... I can foresee major driver problems ahead if I went to XP.

My Graphics Card (Viper II) was not supported by Windows XP so I installed Windows 98 back on the computer so I could duel boot for my games and watching DVD's etc... and for everything else I use Windows XP.

Jedimark-man, someone else that has a viper II card! Nice to know beforehand that XP chokes on it...

Darkness · « **Reply #7 on:** 2001-11-22 00:26:00 »

i heard that xp isnt compatible with *something*XP based on an nVidia chipset....

I run Win2k Pro (Actual CD Edition!) and i love it. The stability of it is beyond compare. I hated XP for 1 major reason: Activation. Otherwise it was simply an updated Win2k.

Try to run this little proggy on your stable systems:

int main()
{
printf("hung upttbbbbbb");
printf("hung upttbbbbbb");
}

But you probably already knew about that

Alhexx · « **Reply #10 on:** 2001-11-22 13:08:00 »

As for me: I've chosen it b'cause of the stability. Well, my Win98 system liked to crash a feqw times per day, WinXP runs perfect 'till now.

BTW: Seph 3D: LightWave worx. So be happy to see an updatd Version of the LWO Converter/Exporter next Ultima version...

Oh, I've gotta d/l OpenGL drivers ... hehe, Ultima didn't want to work... b'cause it couldn't load the OpenGL.dll ...

As for the Activation: My Win XP Version doesn't want any activation or at least it doesn't tell me... and I can't remember cracking it...

This one flies out to all ICQ Users:

I forgot to backup my contact list, so I got to get authorized by all again... so don't wonder when I try to get auth from you again...

Darkness · « **Reply #12 on:** 2001-11-22 16:44:00 »

hmmm maybe i should start using icq again.....

Alhexx · « **Reply #13 on:** 2001-11-22 16:55:00 »

There's something I forgot to mention:

I found that bug in my .p-to-lwo converter. I've uploaded a new version onto my site...

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #14 on:** 2001-11-22 22:01:00 »

Good!

I was hoping there would be an update to your LWO converter soon. I can't wait until we can go from either to the other, and export animations and everything! I already have 2 characters I'm going to build an put into the remake... (And they're easter eggs!)

ppl, what are you doing with your systems ? I have oold win95, it is installed for about 1/2 year or more, im still gaming, programming, experimenting on it, and it won't crash more than once per 2 weeks.

Im probably lucky lol

Alhexx · « **Reply #18 on:** 2001-11-23 18:21:00 »

Well, if it worx, then everything's just fine. I was workin on Win95 as long as I could. But one day I bought an USB Joystick (Saitek ST200) and I had to install Win98 to make my system recognize it.
A few months ago my system got crazy and started to hang up and crash - well now all's fixed and I'm lucky

Darkness · « **Reply #19 on:** 2001-11-23 18:40:00 »

Mirex: What was that proggie supposed to do? Because it just printed out txt and sat there doing nothing...

EDIT: lol, ran it again and this time let it sit there for 30 secs. Never mind.

Ant: Well, I don't know a patch, but there's something your problem reminds me of:
NFS3 and NFS4 aren't workin' on WinXP ...

Jedimark · « **Reply #23 on:** 2001-11-25 18:01:00 »

Ant.... have you tried running the game using Compatibility mode? That usually worked for me.

Ant · « **Reply #24 on:** 2001-11-25 18:10:00 »
