nothing, it's stable unlike 9x

the only time it blue screens is if say your pc is over heating or you've overclocked too much.....

do you ever get any windows based error messages? or does it just expect you to know when and what something is wrong?

The only errors I have ever got in Win2k were "stop errors" at boot up.. other than that I have not got any yet

Win2K is stable as a moutain balancing on land..lol

I get the fatal error one all the time. Win2k Sux. I recommend never getting it.

win2k is very picky of what drivers it uses....but once you get it working its ultra stable!!!!

Brent · Post by **Brent** » Wed Jun 27, 2001 2:01 am

I've never gotten an error message in Win2k to be honest......

i mean every OS has it's defects, Win2k aint perfect, just look we are up to Service Pak 2 already and service Pak 3 already in the works.....

it's a HELL of a lot more better then Win9x for sure because it does not relay on DOS like Win9x does, so there is not that crappy Resource problem of 64KB, and memory allocation is much more better, and you actually SEE benefits from adding more ram and it can take as much as you can give it......

Win2k all around is far supurior to Win9x, but it aint perfect you must keep that in mind, NO OS is perfect cause if there were one that were perfect we'd all be using it without question

I feel sorry for you, but Im also sorry to say It was probably an error between the keyboard and the user.

I got the DAMNED BSOD last night when i tried to load my scanners drivers up. POS HP scanjet crap-tastic software.

now im getting some error in the event log on every bootup and its pissin me off, I think im gonna have to go for some kind of triage setup with 2 diff hd's *kuz im picky and dont want ME and W2K on the same HD* one for use with all the user BS(Mel.Ed.)
and one with W2K for all my dev. apps.

well the web site that i put up there said the computer wasnt made for win2k. what about the drivers for the network card in the comp? how did he get drivers for that? if he could send them to jboggs@socal.rr.com i would greatly appreciate it.
