Just clean installed win2000 advanced server on my athlon machine, latest via 4in1 drivers installed allong with directx 8 for win2000 and the latest drivers for my ge-force2. Everything seems fine and dady until i try to run an mpeg video or a dvd (avi's work fine) i play dvd's with winDVD 2000 v2.3 and mpegs with standard win media player.
Problem with the dvd's and mpegs is that they are running slightly too fast, enough to make the sound jitter and be generally too fast and the picture jumps sometimes too...... it's weird, sometimes for one real second winDVD/Media player counts 2 seconds.... and a 35 second mpeg only takes 25 seconds to play...... ehh?

I had no probs with win98se but need 2000 server for my development work

Have you also gotten the registry fix for win2k/Nvidia/Athlon?

You should find it in the downloads section of www.reactorcritical.com..

I havn't downloaded the fix lindi, thanx.

And yes win2000 server on a personal machine. I need to run IIS for asp's and an SQL server database and OLEDB connectios for it...... And no, you can't do it on 2000 professional or 98 or me because i have tried and i don't want nt server because no direct x support

Tried reinstalls and different DVD players etc. etc. before wasting space on dualbooting, just for DVD's that is.

I've tried winDVD, several versions, i havn't tried power dvd yet, might be worth a try but i find winDVD is beter picture quality so i really want that if a can.... still powerDVD is better than no dvd at all

I managed to get a 500mb disk (just big enough! ) and some drive caddies from work so i can have a swappable boot disk, just to save an ide channel.
