Why does every one like win2000? But bash windows ME?
This past week i decided to throw windows 2000 on my p3v4x board and see how good it was on old hardware. Ive only tried this os in VMware and it ran perfect. I had the unofficial sp5 and extended kernal installed and office 2007 as well, but when I install it on actual hardware like my p3v4x board I get all these wacky problems like:
*Audio driver installs perfect, but in control panel under sounds and multimedia it shows no playback devices and i cant place the audio icon in the task bar. Under device manger it show its installed. Tried several different audio cards and still cant wrap my head around it.
* cannot copy files larger then 50MB otherwise they become corrupt. small files are fine.
*Installing office 2007 make for unbootable os and yes office 07 runs fine on 2000 ive done it in VM.
I know that phil was having issues with 2000 as well. Anyone else have these kind of problems? At least with windows ME ive never had any problems with that os ever. Oh well i guess, back to stable xp.
