  1. You probably need to test it yourself. There aren't many people using Win2k on such a new hardware so waiting for someone to answer on this particular question may be a waste of time :whistle: Even if someone does use the system on a new hardware it may still be very different from yours so it's impossible to confirm whether it may work or not. I myself have got a not too old motherboard but it's for AMD (FM1) so I can't say anything about the Intel chipsets and their compatibility.

    I did try, thats why I started this thread. We need Intel AHCI driver. Video for the HD 4000 would be nice too.

    AMD is much better, it's a straightforward install on the latest hardware, I expect to have Win2k on 8-core Vishera and Steamroller without any problem on the latest Sabertooth.

  2. And gsar doesn't work for it, right? :unsure:

    I don't know but probably will work. I think I just enjoy playing around with these CMD scripts :w00t:

    In this particular case probably gsar will be indeed better as yesterday when I was running the script CMD.EXE ate up almost ~2GB of RAM :ph34r:

    2 GB huh, lol, that must have been a bad memory pointer. VBS might be better for large string manipulation. MS officially states that REG.EXE cannot write binary values to the registry, but it can be done very reliably, example:

    const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
    strComputer = "."
    Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut

    Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
    strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

    strKeyPath = "_offline_\MountedDevices"

    r1 = oReg.GetBinaryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,"\DosDevices\Y:",strValue)

    r3 = oReg.SetBinaryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,"\DosDevices\Y:",strValue)

    For i = lBound(strValue) to uBound(strValue)
    StdOut.Write Hex(strValue(i)) & " "
    Next


  3. I'm googling but can't find ASMedia SATA driver for Win2k. Any ideas?

    There's no driver for 2K and the one for XP refuses to work :( (at least on my system)

    I tried the XP driver too, it didn't work.

    But on a brighter note, win2k fetches network shares faster and more reliably than Win7. The only problem is that it doesn't remember network share passwords and prompts you every time.

  4. Thank you. I ran into this when I was installing Windows 2000 on a flash drive. The answer was to copy the install CD to the OS partition and installing from there.

    I have old VBA scripts that I use for financial applications, and I really don't want to buy a new version of MS office and rewrite the all the VB code (because I only use it once a month). It's much simpler to run Win2k in VM.

    I am completely failing to see :unsure: what has in common "installing Windows 2000 on a CF card" with "installing Office 97 on a WIndows 7 OS" :w00t::ph34r:

    You'll see if you read the post. I was installing Microsoft office 97 in win2k on CF card.

  5. Do you know why o97 doesn't install in Windows 7?

    It feels intimidated by the size of the OS install? :unsure:

    It is most probably some "supporting DLL" and/or Registry setting (and filesystem pemissions) that has changed, it should be possible with some tweak/tricks, but it seems to me like it is an "isolated" problem you are having, there are several reports of success in installing, BUT the issue you should be aware is this:

    http://news.softpedi...ge-130365.shtml

    If I were you I would try in a "fresh" Windows 7 VM, first.

    The issues with installing seem to come with the SR's:

  6. I've installed Office 2003 recently, and:

    - I does bring some grammar checking in several languages, including limited German declension, I appreciate;

    - On an X25-E SSD and a 3.3GHz Core 2 duo running W2k with Ahci, o2003 starts almost instantly (o97 really is instantaneous).

    On a 7k160 and PIIIs 1.4GHz, o2003 takes 1s while o97 takes zero.

    I have grammar/spellcheck for 3 European langueages in Word 97, it wasn't included though I had to downlaod them. Do you know why o97 doesn't install in Windows 7?

  7. I added 2 lines to BlackWingCat's NV4_DISP.INF in the right section:

    NVIDIA_DEV.1244.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti"

    %NVIDIA_DEV.1244.01% = Section005, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1244

    So now win2k does not reject the driver. You can also select GTS 450 (near identical GPU to my GTX 550 Ti.)

    Win2k rocks ! :thumbup

  8. Hmm, strange. This is the first time I've heard about this kind of error. Maybe other official updates (or Update Rollup 2) should be made required for UURollup (ENU). There's a big gap between USP5.1 (2006) and UURollup (2010-).

    What's wrong with running Windows 2000 as a virtual machine? I run it under Linux, it doesn't need any drivers and uses the host's resources including USB 3.0 and SATA 6 GB and everything works :)

  9. Thanks, it didn't work. The NVIDIA drivers in you link aren't loading, and I had to remove UUrollup because I got NTFS incompatibility bug and 1 BSOD.

    What kind of errors did you get with UURollup? :unsure:

    Have you installed any other unofficial updates (perhaps any BlackWingCat's updates)?

    I was copying a dir tree to a Win7 partition and error msg said that it "does NOT support long filenames". BSOD I don't remember, but if it's somewhere in the event viewer I can get it for you.

    I had no other updates, it was vanilla w2k + Gurglemeyer's service pack + BWC ahci and video driver.

  10. You may try to install the newest official nVIDIA drivers:

    http://pl.download.n...tional-whql.exe

    Of course UURollup must be installed before doing so and the installation has to be done through Device Manager because the installer itself won't run in Win2k.

    Thanks, it didn't work. The NVIDIA drivers in you link aren't loading, and I had to remove UUrollup because I got NTFS incompatibility bug and 1 BSOD. I was getting this:

    devman-not-found.PNG

    So I actually loaded the RIVA driver which didn't work of course, but somehow it activated the driver database so I was able to select GTX 580 :yes:

    Anyway, everything works now:

    devman-GTX%20580.png

    Unrecognized PCI devices are ASMedia AHCI on PCI bus (no drivers fro win2k?). USB devices are USB3 (no driver). The 5 Unknown Devices are NVIDIA hight definition audio (BlackWingCat's driver nvw2k26658d doesn't include it?).

    Cinebench, the same system in Windows 7 gets 4.00 but under Win2k it gets 3.71, win2k CPU driver not as efficient...

    Something seems to be wrong. On my hardware configuration Win2k performs in Cinebench (very slightly but still) better than Windows 8. Even if there's a difference it shouldn't be that big.

    You may also want to test the system using CrystalMark.

    Thank you, do you have a link to UURollup?

    You'll notice that Cinebench shows 4C/4T for Win7 but only 4C in Win2k. So, Cinebench at least thinks that Win2k isn't capable of multi-threading.

  12. I didn't say anything about Update Rollup 2 :w00t:

    Update Rollup 2 (UR2) is a rollup of (almost) all official system updates and hotfixes released for Windows 2000.

    Unofficial Updates Rollup (UURollup) is a rollup of (almost) all UNofficial system updates and hotfixes released for Windows 2000.

    Update Rollup 2 won't help you here (although of course there's nothing wrong with installing it). UURollup will help because after installing it you will be able to use the newest Flash Player.

    What error do you get when trying to install the graphics driver?

    BlackWingCat's driver doesn't have an NVIDIA installer, so you have to install it through Device Manager. But when I point to the driver directory/INF Win2k doesn't find a hardware match, no driver. I can't remember how I did it the fist time... there was no GTX 550 Ti on the list, the closest was GTX 570, so I picked that and it works..

  13. ok some screenshots...

    cpuz-mobo.png

    990fx, AM3+ socket, runs Bulldozer FX CPUs, also the upcoming Vishera maybe even Steamroller.

    cpuz-gpu.png

    GTX 550 Ti looks like GTX 570

    But graphics kicks butt, "D13P1-40/PCI..." is the NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti

  14. For screen shots you can use http://imgur.com/ :whistle:

    And with either UURollup (ENU) or the BlackWingCat's kernel extension installed you can use any version of Flash Player.

    Thank you, I just run Windows2000-UpdateRollup2-x86-ENU, it took forever.

    But now I have another problem. I had installed an NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti and used BlackWingCat's driver nvw2k26658d. I can't remember how I installed it but 550 Ti was not on the list so I selected GTX 570 and it worked. Now I put in another card also GTX 550 Ti but I can't install the driver. Any ideas? :unsure:
