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...)

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.

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

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...

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...

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!)

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

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 ...
