What sort of compatability with sims will u get with win2k. I foolishly
installed it first without asking this question, and have found none of my
sims work. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
 Luke

Sports Car GT installs and works fine in Win2k. I suspect well designed sims
and games that support DirectX 7 will work.

Which ones have you not got working?  N3, GPL, SCGT, F1RS, MGPRS2 all work
OK.

Anyone got it to work?  Last I heard the 3d drivers for the banshee were
TBA, but I haven't been able to find any info on it since.  I'm waiting for
the 3d, so I can reinstall 2000..  I had to pull it becuase of no GPL...

Anyone know or done it?

I just installed Win2K myself and I have managed to get all my peripherals
working.  I like the OS a lot.  I am keeping a dual boot to Win98SE for
games, but I would like to be able to play many of them in WIn2K.  I tried
installing Rally Champ, and it looked fine, but wouldn't recognize my MSFF.
Win2K has built in support for the wheel, but it has no profiler or anything
like that and the MS website even says the wheel is unsupported.  Anyone
have any idea on support for the MSFF in Win2K?

Get the version 4 profiler software from MS.

I looked there the same day I asked this question but couldn't find it.  Of
course, that doesn't mean it isn't there.  Microsoft's website is such a
maze I'm suprised you can find anything there.

  Thanks.
