  1. Think I have a better solution now, I got a 4 pack of Nvidia 330 1gb cards from ebay last week and they work great with 2000!
  2. I wasn't trying to get you to do all of the work, I wasn't even sure how to find hardware ID's. After I looked up how to find them, I thought taking screenshots of the information would be a good way to document things for anyone who wanted to check it out and it would also be a good way to make sure I didn't misstype the data. Edit: Don't worry about it-I'll just use another os with this one, sorry for the trouble.
  3. Ok, got into the device manager and took screens of all the data
  4. Last year I picked up a used Dell Inspiron 3847 computer from a thrift store, tested it out with win 7 and it worked fine. This weekend while fiddling around with 2000 on another tower, I decided to dust this one off and see if I could install Windows XP home even though it's rated for Win 7 and above. After messing around in the bios (setting 'legacy boot' and sata to 'ata' settings) I was able to successfully install XP. I tried the drivers off the dell site, but only the realtek sound driver works. The processor is an i3-4130 cpu at 3.40 ghz. Would anyone know where I could get an XP compatible chipset driver and lan driver if that is possible?
  5. That's the one I tried, maybe it's just my system but it doesn't like VLC so I'm just going to avoid extended core for now.
  6. Did some searching and found the latest extended core, tried installing it and got the same lockups when trying to use VLC, I'm just going to reinstall, install the latest extended kernel and leave extended core out of it-I have a radeon 3450 512mb card I know I can use with BWC's drivers.
  7. Well before I give up, I'd like to give extended core another try-can anyone give me a link to the one that works best with extended kernel with minimal problems?
  8. Darn, I've got a 1gb Geforce 210 that works fine, but I was hoping for something more powerful. No, not sure which one to use-last time I tried (with windows 2000 + HFSLIP slipstreamed and the current extended kernel) I had weird stuff happen like VLC media player freezing things up when I tried to play a video.
  9. I got my hands on a 2gb HD 6450 graphics card today and have tried some of Blackwingcat's drivers with no success so far. Can this card be used for Win2k or will I have to downgrade to XP for this one?
  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K6hpsAOM_E This doesn't bode well!
  11. I put in a xp disk to try to replicate the error, but it's loaded up and installing as we speak! This version is a fan mix with sp3 and a number of additional updates already slip streamed into it, so that appears to have jumped the installation hurdle so far. Will post any problems with it if there are any once it is installed.
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhOvYgpA6Qs Not liking the looks of this, if this trend doesn't stop-I might just jump back to an older version of windows for my daily driver!
  13. I have an old HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, the model is dv7-1127cl. In past installations, it will take Linux/Windows 7/Vista 32 and 64 bit. However when I've attempted a windows xp install I get the BSOD every time, is XP too old, or is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks for any clues!
  14. Sounds like using the NoScript addon is a more reliable way of protection!
  15. Watched this video recently: What do you guys think?
