  • Problems with Win2000

    A few days ago I removed my old mobo (Jamicon A586B, or it might also have been SuperPower A586B) and put in a newer mobo with exactly same chipset as the old one. The old one had problems with my G450 so my only option was to get a better one. Both had ALi Aladdin V chipset (though old one had M1543 and the newer had M1543-C, which might cause this problem...). I didn't reinstall Win2000, and everything worked fine. The problems started when I reinstalled Win2000. Now no game which uses DirectX doesn't work properly; they are all too fast (yet they say they draw only 8 fps or so). It seems to me that there's some kind of a problem with timing. Wintune says I have only 450 MIPS, but if I run it in Win98, I suddenly have 900+ MIPS. Same with games. They run extremely well in Win98, but too fast (and slow ) in Win2000. Is there a fix to this problem or do I have to play in Win98 and do my work in Win2000 (switching OS's gets too darn difficult in the long run!).

    Personally I would backup everything I wanted and do a fresh and clean install to see if there was an issue during reinstall/repair install.......

      Yes, well, formatting the harddrive usually deletes everything... just as I did (maybe I didn't mention it?).

        Just wipeout the OS folder... not the entire drive. It's best to always do this when installing a new MB. Tho any registered apps/games will need to be reinstalled again too, but that's the price U pay when upgrading MB's.

          Install it on a via chipset and it will do a reformat for you all by itself.

            I would recomend a close look through the BIOS settings....

              Update yo' bios.
              C:\DOS
              C:\DOS\RUN
              \RUN\DOS\RUN

                The BIOS is already up-to-date. A closer look on what options?

                I figured that if I switched nearly everything off from my BIOS, installed Win2000 and then switched everything back on, it might work, as I could fool Win2000 not to install everything (as it wouldn't be able to know what my BIOS supports). Didn't help.
