And to Galadrion, I actually HAVE WinXP. I was very happy when I got it and as I tried to install it I had to learn that there was no compatible DSL software for it. There is by now but it kinda turned me of, not to mention the other 24 things I would have had to upgrade.
Besides, my brother's computer uses XP and so I learned that I don't like that program. One update and suddenly nothing runs anymore.
anyway, I'll try this trick with the startup disc and we'll see. |
Both Win2k and WinXP are from the WinNT family. As such, if you had 24 things to upgrade with XP, you'll have 23 with Win2k. No way around it, the WinNT family take a very different driver route than Win9x.
And WinXP supports DSL very well indeed. Better in fact that any previous version of Windows. There are some wierd things with some Cable modems (Rodgers, I think) that use a dialup for the uplink (!) but I think even that haywire arrangement is supported now.
If your whole computer is old (>5 years) and/or slow you may want to stick with the Win9x family.

Your mileage may very. Void where prohibited by law. Many small parts are quite yummy.

Anyway, I'll have to see how everything runs now.
Thanks again, Blitz |
