And why do I have such low karma now?

Probably because you even think that using win 2000 is viable thing to do.

Well its my only option and its better than 95/98 and definititely better than ME

[AHadley]

Eurgh, don't remind me about ME. Nothing can fail as epically as that.

Huh? Windows 2000 was actually pretty good. Windows XP is actually little more than Windows 2000 with a new interface, better game support and some additional tweaks.

When I used 98 it was horrible as I had to reinstall it every 6 months because it would get increasingly slow and unstable if I messed with it too much. I thought it was just a normal part of owning a computer -- When I moved to Win2k I didnt have any problems whatsoever, even despite my tweaking, and my win2k install stayed with me for about 2 years and I never had to reinstall it (till my HD crashed and I lost all my mod development). In fact it isnt really functionally different from Windows XP.

I've heard bad things about SP4 for Win2k, but apart from that it has lower system reqs than XP (Anything that XP will do with a given amount of system RAM, 2k will do, but with 128MB less RAM), and also nearly all XP drivers are compatible with Win2k so I don't see what's bad about it.

[Clavin12]

From the screenshots it doesn't look much different than 2000. I've never used it so i dont know what makes it such a bad os.

[AHadley]

From what I've read its game compatibility is its biggest downfall.

[Nielk1]

I had ME for the longest time without one issue or screw up.

I usually enclose things in smilies when I am joking.
But really, I can only see that using win 2000 now is going to be a fun ride of issue after issue and program incompatibilities with any new pieces of software you try to run on it. If you have a nice collection of 10 year old software to go with it, then I imagine it will work ok.
Personally I think I am being a ludite by sticking with XP, but I only do this because I disapprove of the direction MS has taken with the Vista operating systems, and am not prepared to get ripped off again.

[Clavin12]

2000 was never meant to run games but was more of an office/networking system, but I am running BZ2 on it almost as well as if i did it on XP. I dont really intend to install anything bigger than that on it.

[Firefly]

well ive ready the posts best i can, so heres my issue, i get it all loaded up and when i get to the login screen, no pilot names all empty, when i got to creat a new one i type the name it enter and it dont show up on the list, so i cant login to play at all  help?

[Nielk1]

Common issue for Vista users. W7 too.
Run as admin.
If that doesn't work, run BZ2 from somewhere like your Docs folder where your are permitted to read/write without issue.

[Firefly]

aha, thx nielk1, jeez vista is annoying good to see ya btw... Remember me?

[Nielk1]

Yes, the man with 2 names

Is this pilot creation issue in the Known Bugs thread yet?

[VSMIT]

If it isn't, it should be.

* VSMIT is too lazy to look...
