I'll try it again however. Thanks for your help

Cheers

86019 2002-10-07 08:38:00 Chill, I would reccommend SP2 anyway (have had some issues with SP3 but then again can't hurt to try it).

86020 2002-10-07 08:38:00 you'll need to install all three service packs - they don't include updates from previous packs, so you need all three...

86021 2002-10-07 08:47:00 Mike, Not true re W2K service pack's. Windows 2000 SP3 includes the updates contained in Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package 1.

86022 2002-10-07 08:51:00 Chill,

A couple of support articles for you (if you need them after installing SP3) - yes sorry I've changed my mind; do install Service Pack 3.

86023 2002-10-08 01:37:00 Alrighty then, Job for tonight, install SP3...
But in the Q199948 article, it says Win2K doesnt support Multi-Monitors with a card that uses S3 as its secondary card! Does that mean me?!

I do however have another graphics card, not too sure if it uses S3 chipset or not. If got two Fire 2000 3D cards... They're not multi-monitor compatible are they coz they're Diamond or something?!

Thanks guys... Just about solved... I hope!
