FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!
yea i tried aspi drivers as many flavors as i could find
it was the power supply i disconnected a different drive and it works fine i guess one drive has gotta go thanks anyways
The problem is with a new optorite dd0201 dvdr burner- whenever i enable dma, it fails to read anything from the drive. Any disc put in will come up as ethier empty or as if there is nothing inserted. The drive works 100% perfect in PIO mode in this computer. When i put this in another computer...
the reason xbox is more like a pc is because it uses almost the same components we have in our comps when the other consoles use specially designed stuff you wont find in a pc
well the icon isnt really doing anything
ill double click it and no window will pop up but if i hold my mouse over it it expands fine and all its just not opening a folder window
yea bacillus that makes things not work in 2k for burning but you can get force aspi which puts a aspi layer on your win2k system and it works great for every cd burning program
well i like to put my computer in the start menu so its on the top of the start menu anyways usually when i need to use it i can just double click on it or one of the expanded folder and the window will pop up but its not opening anymore for me i tried doing any of the folder right...
between 2k and 98 there shouldnt be a noticible diffrence unless your using a ati cards and only because ati has horrible drivers but 2k is so much faster its not funny get it if all your hardware is supported

also to use the update right click-properties and check what you want
you should also try the whistler compatibility program that someone hacked for 2k its alot better
i have the logitech wingman its really good never had a skipping problem yet with this and a everglide and its cheap too though ive heard the opticals are better
win2k doesnt have a real "dos mode" it only has dos emulation which can do most of the simple dos functions and runs most of the dos programs fine but without sound
this is because win2k isnt built on the foundation of dos like 98 so if you want dos you need 98
my guess is a bad disc or something. if its bringing you to the menu screen its probably because it doesnt recognize it as a dreamcast game or it could be the laser i guess
win2k is great youll never go back after you use it
90-95% of programs that work in win98 work in 2k everything ive ever tried works
only bad things is no sound in dos and you lose 1-2 fps
edit:the gui is almost exactly the same there are just a few options moved around but its all there...
adding to what he said..

i play eq on 2k and it works pretty good sometimes i get a black box poping up over 3/4 of the screen for like a frame or two then its gone doesnt bother me enough to go to 98
also only in eq sometimes if i hold a key too long or something the sound will mess up then i have to push the key...
