winxp to win2k

[Grimdevil69]

hey! Im fed up with windows xp ( this sux ) does anyone know how to go back to windows 2000? from windows xp? If you could tell me that would be awesome:sw :hole :shy

[Mr. Mainstream]

no idea whats the prob with XP>?

[Grimdevil69]

its way too slow. I only have aim, and ares on it. i have like 50 files. whats the fastest operating system?

[phalkon30]

98 is the fastest on a crap computer

The only way to go back, is to completely reformat your hard drive, and install from scratch

If you want to stick to XP for a while, I suggest you check out a thread of mine, pay attention to the blk viper site, it should free up a TON of system resources, mine feels light years faster after I tweaked it

i will say this only once: Windows 2000 with sp3 is the ONLY microsoft os you should ever use.

xp is abysmal.

[Undermind]

<-------has never had any issues w/ XP pro, but that don't mean I love M$

[nasrules]

UBER-RAT: many people have had different experiences of xp. i find it to be the best os ive ever used, while my mates win2kpro laptop continually runs into problems. it depends on your setup and your usage.

i dont recommend xp unless youve got at least the recommended specs (not minimum) as it can be very slow on a slow computer.

if u want a fast os try win95 lol!!!!

If you werent prepared to learn to use XP, why did you go there to begin with? Unless you turn off the fade effects and services that you do not need, yes it may be slow. It is NOT however a bad O/S. Definately not abysmal.

You can either wait till Gerber comes out with a babyfood O/S, or learn to use XP, it's that simple. XP, btw is a lot more intuitive and capable when installing devices and more stable in multitasking.

In any respect, put your W2000 CD in, boot from it, wipe out your partitions, make a new one, format, reinstall. Then reinstall all of your drivers. If you can do that correctly, I fail to see why you cant learn to configure XP.

I'm gonna have to agree with Krell. XP is the fastest and most stable OS that I have ever used and if you dont know how to use it to its full potenial then you're never make it with win 2000. Just make best with what you have.

Two questions.
1. Do you have SP1 installed
2. What's your PC specs (I wonder if Jorge could add a field in the profile for this?)

Thats one of the best ideas I have seen yet. I wanted to make a template to submit that help with the data input. I was going to make one for tech support questions too, . . both . . just kinda "fill in the blanks".

Honestly I get really tired of asking and saying the same things over and over again.

[ryan2_2]

Same here.

I saw it on another site, and I was wondering if it could be put in on these forums.

[macazar88]

ok go to control panale and add remove programs u should be able to uninstall xp if u had put it in manually

[szumowskij]

Go to ........PC Pitstop on the web and run the test they have to offer, its free and contains a lot of info and fixes and tweaks. Try it

[phalkon30]

Awesome idea ryan, I would either PM jorge about it, or make a thread in the feedback section, it would make life much more simple

Sorry, I should have checked, I just haven't been around much, and don't have the time to check threads like I used to

[endersgame21]

Please, if you're going to post, post something constructive, maybe even just ONE supporting detail why you think xp is bad

[squint]

wait for XP.2






dont give up, read learn and progress...

Dude, Phalkon as well as others know ALL to well of my stance on XP. However, give him one rock solid fact to back up your claims.

As for me I'll stick to 2k and ME......

Now I suppose yer gonna say ME sucks, right?

Well, theres a simple response to that.....

Knowledgeable tweaking on ANY OS can make it stable. So my guess is you're at an AOL'er level just spouting off shit about stuff you know little of.

Get your facts straight and bring a valid fact with you, then challenge Phalkon and his overly tweaked XP system. ; )

Peace

I have it installed, and its been installed for over a year, IMO its the best OS I've ever used, I won't get into why I think its better because I've said my position too many times, but for me its great

Like CCS said, tweaking is the key, I've turned off all the shit I don't need, and this thing rocks (including turning off all built in spyware that I know of)

Anyway, who says I have to upgrade? its my choice whether I install updates or not

Do you honestly think 2k will be imune to DRM, and all that other shit MS is coming out with? absolutely not

PREACH IT LIKE IT IS BROTHA!!! L-O-L! Sorry, I just finished watching a Motown movie :shy

[squint]

old quote from another thread~>
"well, i would leave mine on for months at a time, but i have to reinstall windows every couple of months because of all the crap i do to it, i tend to tweak things just a little too edgy, so i end up restarting 5times in a day, leave it on for a week.........and so on"

and you need me to explain the faults with XP?





besides your not the thread starter, my comments were for that person.
stop tweaking XP and go tweak your head.

[Krell]

You just really cant shut the hell up about it can you?

If you cant cut it with XP, then YOU wait, but in the mean time, stop freakin doggin everyone about your so called superior knowledge, NOT

[squint]

heres another.

look mrs krell,
the question was a short one, my reply was short.

[MoonMan]

Take some advice and just cool off. When you come to a BBS when an attitude like you are mister 'Im so much more fucking smarter than you are', you aren't going to make friends or enjoy it here.

Just relax and respond sensibly, not like you are on a war path and Zeropaid is your site of conquest.

[Krell]

Pffft . . .youre a waste of breath.

snip.

As IF you could have anyways, just stick to admitting you're a retard.

And btw . . . whats this I hear about your obnoxious link full of popups? You think your uber cool now? Missy leet pants.

Stop dogging people and posting where you have nothing to contribute. period.

[squint]

[MoonMan]

I was about to flame you senseless because that stupid website of yours got me.... but I was able to freeze all pop ups and close IEXPLORER.EXE. I have cooled down a bit so I will only say that I am reporting your link to a moderater, I suggest you change it while you still can.

[squint]

my homepage is kewl, whats wrong with it?

[Krell]

.

[Crazy Horse]

Nothing if you like a shitload of popups

[squint]

then you may have to adjust internet settings.

you would love the old one (it was a js exeption exploit)

[The Hunter]

Give it up, people have a right to come here without having to put up with that kind of crap.

[MarkB]

Yes... give it a break guys! It seems that EVERY single thread I click on, there's always some spammer, flamer or immature lamer ruining a good help thread. Now can we get back on lending a helping hand to other peoples questions & start using these forum boards for good intentions??

[nasrules]

ok, keeping away from the squint issue...

CCS: i am no computer genius, after a format and reinstall of windows ME on my comp it was fine. after the install of klite, dreamweaver, office 2000 and avg however, it crashed periodically about every 2 hours. i think it depends on your hardware compatability with the os as well coz i have used xp for nearly 2 months now and ive seen only one blue screen, after a game install and not restarting before playing.

[phalkon30]

Squint, if I had 98, I would reinstall daily

And in case you didn't catch it, it was SARCASM! I only reinstall every month or so, which is due to me trying tons of beta software, or upgrading crap on an hourly basis

Its also not necessary for me to reload, I just prefer to have a clean registry to work with, its better for problem solving

I think I would shoot myself if I still ran 98, this thing would crash constantly

[cpugeniusmv]

windows xp is great...when i had ME, i reinstalled it WEEKLY.

today was the first day i actually locked up XP!!! i was kind of excited to see that it could still be done! :-D
