Well, not really, but pretty close. John --- End quote --- It may sound stupid to you, but I have been fixing computers for home users for years, and if I don't make the computers "bullet proof" they "boomerang" back to me and I lose allot of time. I found that people who used XP, AOL, and MS Internet Explorer had the worst trouble. Dell's software suite is full of junk too. --- End quote --- The problem with win2k is you can't play multiple mice games (marble madness, cabal, ect). Not that most people care about this, but that's a killer for me. [shrug] And I don't use AOL or MSIE like your clients, maybe that's it. ;) |

I've been fixing home computers for a few years now myself and you couldn't pay me enough to put 2k on a machine. 2k is for business, xp is for multimedia and gaming. It's a simple as that. Just beause they share the same base doesn't mean they are the same os. Driver and DX compatability issues abound in 2k, not so much in xp. It's hard to nail down specifics because they are little things (like what u_rebel mentioned) but put em all together and you have a big headache. |

I can dig it Howard, but you should consider this: This thread is not called "Can you help me fix 2K" There is no thread by that name because 2K users are cruising along as easy as Sunday morning :) Cheers, Craig |
