is it the POST beep that`s annoying you, or something inside Windows?
(, Sat 13 Sep 2003, 11:50, archived)

Its not the POST beep. I like that, that tells me whats wrong (if anything).

Its a beep that comes from inside Windows, just as it gets past the "Applying personal settings" stage of the startup procedure. The desktop hasn't appeared (save for the background colour (not wallpaper) and mouse pointer) and it is really high-pitched and loud.

So high-pitched and loud that I didn't think it was the PC speaker at first, but I unplugged it once and it solved the problem. But, as said, I like the POST beep, so I've plugged it back in now.

# I really have no idea
about this - could it be a problem with Windows waiting for the sound card driver to kick in properly? Win 2K is pretty crappy for driver support

failing that, I dunno, I`ve never come across the problem before

# Neither have I...
...I've been using Win2K for a couple of years now with no trouble, just seems to be since this reformat.

If it wasn't such a PITA installing everything again I'd just reformat again and start over.

I don't think its the sound card driver, but its a possibility. I'm not using the included driver, I'm using the latest version (SB Live! 5.1 is the card) from the Creative site.

Cheers for your help anywoo.

that would be good in the longer term, really good in fact - at the same time that palmpixels is mainly animation for handheld driven, I already have some good content from filmaker friends of mine. Theres bugger all good online for handhelds, and now with processor speeds improving and big fuck off memory cards, real film for handhelds is possible. Were at a real tipping point, and palmcinema.co.uk would be a great url. What is youer interest? Do you use a handheld, what were you going to do with it?

# I keep mentioning this place
but have you seen pocketmovies.com? lots of hand-held-sized movies and information... if you only look for palm when searching, you miss a lot of stuff that can be converted with little/no effort

pocketpcflash.net is another one... I wish I could get flash on my phone, still according to what I've found it's on it's way :-)
(, Sat 13 Sep 2003, 11:59, archived)
# not sure
hat you mean, If its pocketmovies.net, I know it, but its drab, has no exclusive content, and I think it only encodes for pocket pc. In terms of content, the only content on palmpixels will be very animation specific with a section for shorts, the thing is, theres bugger all around for palm really yet, so I hope palmpixels will be popular as the content will be good, I dont need a trailer for the next spiderman movie particularly...

edit - in fact, theyre all mpeg1 content. There is a program called mmplayer, from www.mmplayer.com which natively plays avi and mpeg - its shaping up to be quite good, and removes the necessity for proprietary programs like fireviewer and kinoma.
(, Sat 13 Sep 2003, 12:01, archived)
# fair enough
the encoding I've seen has all been generic avi or mpeg, not specific to pocket pcs.

still, as you say, it's hardly an inspiring site - I look forward to seeing what yours will be like and what you'll have. it'd be nicer if sites didn't get hung up on device-specific things and tried to cater for greater communities, I think... all hand-helds, instead of single devices, stuff like that

it's caused by your base metabolism being unstable. Sounds a bit nerdy but it's like that, the best thing you can do is drink fruit juice and eat honey, these stabilize your metabolism.

# pardon?
how do you mean "upgrade to"? it's currently running DOS then?

it should be capable of anything up to 98SE, maybe millenium/2K if you really wanted...
(, Sat 13 Sep 2003, 11:32, archived)

My recomendation would be 98SE as any other pre-2000 version of windows is cack in a seive
(, Sat 13 Sep 2003, 11:33, archived)
# sorry
should have explained further:
its on win 95 osr 2, when you try to upgrade
to win 98/98SE/ME, it installs successfully, but when I reboot it it comes up with 'windows general protection error - you need to restart your computer' in dos. which is a git.

the best bit about it is, the laptop shipped with 2 USB ports which it could not even support...

is that the new versions of windows are disabling or bypassing something specific to the laptop's proper operation... many older laptops use specialised versions of windows to ensure compatability with their hardware
