Oh My Dear God!

i had to do it, i had to install win2000 pro on my machine and i was very dissapointed on the results i got.
first off,

my modem didnt come with a driver for 2000 :(
i went back to 98se and i downloaded one :)

that taken care of, i installed 2000 again.

my volume control suddenly makes almost no difference, it is either all the way up, or all the way down :(

My burner is acting very funny, i cannot see half of what is on the discs i have made. :(

i am having freeze issues when i try to do anything "odd" :(

i am unable to use my saitek p750 gamepad :(

when i try to shut it down it restarts :(

needless to say im going back to 98se. :)

this is actually worse than my XP experience. :O

Did you wipe the hard drive by writing zeros to it before loading a different OS on there?

i sorta tried it that way also, and no difference.

i told it to leave the partition intact the first time...

but the second time i told it to repartition it using an ntfs standard....

neither one worked
