Need Tips to get games working in Win2K

[rUfUnKy]

Title says it all ..I've only tried to get UT and QuakeIII to work so far and had no luck with them so I stoped there.( seeing these are supposed to be compatable with Win2k)Also has any one had a problem running games in NTFS and then swithched to Fat32 and had these problems go away??

O-ya and how many people here running Win2K play these games online??Because that's where most my problems seem to be..

What problems are you having exactly?

I've run Win2K since RC1 and play UT, HL, all the Delta Forces, Q2 and Q3, list goes on and on with no problems. Have never used anything but NTFS but the file system would play no part in the functioning of any game.

Only time I ever had any problems playing games in Win2K it ended up being a DirectX associated problem.

I can play almost every non-dos based game I've tried. Have you got all of the game compatability updates? How bout ServicePacks? Hotfixes? Check out www.microsoft.com and pick them up.

First off and I should have mentioned this I installed sp2 and have direct x8a for win2k

The problems I'm haveing are as followed..I Installed Ut and it runs great untill I hit the multiplayer button and it freezes everytime.

Installed quakeIII and it ran great untill I got the pointrelease patch so I could play online and now it doesnt even start at all.

It just dont make sence ..help..i dont want to have to duel boot!!

So what happens when you try to play UT online does it freeze or throw an error message. I have install UT about 15times in wink 2k server / pro and every service pack so I think it might be a NIC problem. you do have high speed internet correct. I would try to reinstall UT fresh install just save your user.ini and unrealtournament.ini before deleting old install.

No error message, just freezes as soon as I hit that button.Yes I do have cable and my modem is hooked straight to the USB. (no network card) I reinstalled a couple times with the exact same results..I'll fudge around with it some more(at least i know for sure it will work with Win2K) Keep the suggestions coming..
