Heyyo,
False false false IBman. All you need to do to get games to run well on Win2000 is to get SP1. If you get more? all the better. Me bud had windows 2k, he said it worked perfectly for him after SP1.
Btw, you should also get new drivers. Windows 2000 and windows xp use the same driver setups, so yeah, if you want newer drivers for your comp, just look for windows xp drivers, works the same since windows xp is.. well to me a step down from windows 2000. xp is all dumbed down, no advanced user configuration, not able to password protect folders or restrict to only certain users or groups.. the list goes on.

o well, sry, maybe i worded it wrong, windows 2000 was not meant as much for home users, let alone gamers, it was meant for corporate, business type environments or ppl who needed the power and stability. I definitely would not recommend it for newer games such as BF2 and such.

So, IBMan, was not wrong in his assesment, there are some issue with certain op's, there are diferent versions as well, Its not a hard leap to think your op is to blame; some games will not support certian software and hardware, especialy the older games with the more recent op and hardware, you should always refer to any reading that comes with the game in question, failing that, post the game names that are screwing up and your system hardware.
Dude, losing that feature was so annoying, it is a damn shame as that was one of the greater things about Windows, now if you want to password protect it, the only way is to Zip it up and password protect it, but then you have to unzip it and then rezip itThE_MarD said:
Heyyo,
I know man! even win95 had that! winxp was a definate downgrade for networking. I don't care what ya say, security for networking went WAY down. I'm sure win 2k3 server was more like windows 2000. If not then that would be a waste of cash for networking.
I remember win95 had options like "allow write with password" otherwise they could only read the folder, that was great stuff. The hell was m$ thinking when they removed that for winxp eh? lol... oh crap! windows vista.... god I hope they put it back in or I might have to look for some 3rd party networking thing... if any even exist that is (not talking aboot nos's, but networking programs).
