Windows 2000 is the spawn of Satan's deformed mutant sister-in-law...

Thanks to everyone who helped with my problems with 2000 and VIA chipsets...it looks like they'll be solved soon

Service Pack 2 is out and it should fix the problem -- I can't even do a direct replace of viaagp.sys because the installer crashes

But since you can do a parallel SP2/2000 installation I'll do that in a few weeks when it comes out on a magazine CD (101MB and I need a 26K file from it

).

What magazine would this be? I cant be bothered to download it again

**parksie** · May 27th, 2001, 01:09 PM

I expect it'll be with PC Plus (I'm subscribed to them) because they always have things like that.

**chrisjk** · May 27th, 2001, 01:15 PM

I don't like PC Plus. I've got a subscribtion to PC Pro (but only because they gave me 3 issues for 1p!!). I thought i'd carry on the subscription anyway coz it's quite good.

I dont buy magazines much really... but I occasinally buy the PC Pro and one of the gaming magzines which I forgot the name of

i got sp2 installed
anything i can do to help parksie..

like send you individual files and stuff?

let me know

**parksie** · May 28th, 2001, 05:10 AM

The only file I actually need is viaagp.sys which I already have, but I can't see how to get it to use that. Once it actually installs I can run the web-based setup, but it keeps dying.

I've copied the CD contents to my HD so I can use that, but I don't think replacing viaagp.sy_ with a compressed copy of the new file will work

Thanks for the offer, anyway.

Not happy about this, people.

Spent all yesterday evening downloading it, used another (working) W2K PC to make the integrated install, ran the installer...crashed in exactly the same place. Did this 3 times in a row and then I gave up because I can't be arsed to f**k around with it.

I wouldn't be too pleased either! Mind if I join you in your little rant? Well anyway, here goes....

.....MSN still isn't working and I'm getting a tad annoyed of seeing "the service is not responding at present or you are not connected to the internet." I am connected to the internet. The service works fine for other people. This is doing my head in. Bloody Microsoft.

**chrisjk** · May 29th, 2001, 04:03 PM

Burn MSN

**parksie** · May 30th, 2001, 06:59 AM

Why not

**Pix** · May 30th, 2001, 12:32 PM

I haven't got any matches

**parksie** · May 30th, 2001, 12:38 PM

I've got a Bic.

**chrisjk** · May 30th, 2001, 12:39 PM

What good is a Biro??

**SurfDemon** · May 30th, 2001, 12:41 PM

So you can write to the match company and ask them to send matches asap.

A Bic cigarette lighter

**Pix** · May 30th, 2001, 12:53 PM

Nice one, I'll use that then. Didn't know you liked fags parksie

**chrisjk** · May 30th, 2001, 01:21 PM

Yeah course he does. I see him come out the gay pubs every night around 2am looking particularly unsteady on his feet.

**Pix** · May 30th, 2001, 01:31 PM

Poor thing! And what are you doing outside gay pubs at 2am?

**chrisjk** · May 30th, 2001, 01:36 PM

errr...arrrr......errrr. *flustered*.....star gazing!! yeah, that's right, star gazing. For some reason the stars are always more visible above well known gay pubs. Don't as me why, they just are!!
