dirtwarrior Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I love windows 2000 but 1 of these is the boot delay where it say loading network settings and so forth. Is there a way to speed up booting in windows 2000?Another thing that bothers me about windows 2000 is even though I am running 1 gb of ram and I set virtual memory to 0, I get a nag box to reset it higher. If I ignore it,windows will reset it automatically. Can I fix this?dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 no vitrual memory means when ever your memory usage spike above one gig, the computer is going to complain. unless you have like 2 gig i wouldn't turn off virtual memory, a** the loading network connection, in the control panel go into network connections, at the top choose advanced and then advanced settings, change the binding order so that your primary netowrk card is first and if you have a wireless card that is last, this should help that loading section.

Dels Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 @dirtwarriorwin2k lover's? if yes then same like me if you have a gigs of ram why didn't you disable the kernel paging? so they windows core will stay on memory rather than HDD, there were several registry hack and tweaksoft for this thing, and even nlite has em (on tweak section advance mode)anyway i have made a pack of win2k gui hack (xp icon, toolbar etc) but i don't have interest with that thing for now (busy with my college works, delphi and visual basic programming, making database related application) so if you want it i can give it to you and then you can continue my works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtwarrior Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Dels I will try. I hope I dont disapoint you. I keep in touch with gurglemeyer with the things I dont understand (which is a lot). But I will work on whatever you send me. I am at OSBA too and these guys seem to know a lot.dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtwarrior Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 At odd times my CPU usage will go up to 100%. And even if I have lots of memory left over I still get a nag.I have 760 mb of ram left out of 1024 and it wont let me play a cd and serf at the same time . I used XP without paging with no problems.2k would be the bomb if I can get it to boot faster, no nags about page file, and a few other minor things.dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtwarrior Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 HMMMM this was fixed in server edition but not in pro. Well maybe some simple dll changes maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dels Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 HMMMM this was fixed in server edition but not in pro. Well maybe some simple dll changes maybe?yes it fixed in win2k server/advance server/data center, this why some company still use win2k for server use and rather than try to mess your windows, better grab a win2k server/advance server edition than go with nlite to customize it (removing server stuff and etc) and voila you got a stable version of win2k i just remember about win2k3 conversion pack to xp, maybe we can do something like that in win2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murvun Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I prefer w2k pro, because you don't have to clean up so much - compared to server. and most free antivir complain about server. but which dll has to be replaced? perhaps before installing (using hfslip) or after install (using dualboot)...thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dels Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 maybe you can ask the people in Hotstream forum such as Gurgelmeyer (creator of Windows 2000 Unofficial Service Pack), he know much about win2k.and maube he could make a patch version of that such dll on his next version USP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 the long boot delay is really a pain. i wouldn't know were to begin to fix it but it would be a worth while project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtwarrior Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 I have 2k server. It is a little larger than 2k pro. If I want to take all the server parts out, how would I search for them? Or should I take the hal and ntkrnl and others and put them in pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 just watching win2k boot up it seems to me that it take a very long time to get the networking connections established.i wonder how much difference there is between win2k and xp with the networking systems and could they be exchanged.i've manually copied the xp ntldr and NTDETECT.COM into and installed win2k and noticed a very slight improvement in boot times but i have no idea how to do this during an install.
