Not so swift and easy
 

I just downloaded XoloX. I tried running it, but it just kept saying something about how it was searching for the network. Then, it locked up my whole computer! Not a good start. Therefore, I think I'll try Limewire next. No offense, but I am not very computer savvy, so I need all the help I can get!

Are you on Windows ME by chance?

An excellent question.

If you are on ME, there is an excellent little program that will fix almost of the normal problems with ME.
It is called 2000 Pro :eek:

I use Xolox on Windows ME.

Yes I was until now to lazy to upgrade to Win2000. I tried WinXP and hated the GUI, so I still run ME. :)

You can make xp look exactly like 2k.. Everything in it - even the login.

what's 2000 pro??

why is this thing so slow??

It is Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional version.

btw, what thing are you finding slow today?
Because if you mean the loading of new pages here in the forums than you have some work to do on your machine. :eek:

did you enable your cookies for this board?? if not, do so because that assists in the time it takes for the page to load up...
this is a little off the subject, but as far as operating systems go....
ME is a waste of time as are win2000 and 2000 pro.... XP is okay since atleast it has DOS, but as many of you know, still has compatibility issues. Im sticking with 98' SE and linux and that's that.

2k is the standard of all ms based servers. XP is entirely based off 2k. The only difference revolving around the dos console in the two are xp has a SCROLLBAR!

windows 2000 === NT 5.0
windows xp ===== NT 5.1

They are almost the same, the differences are mainly in their gui.

2k vs linux?
 

2k loses in the security compared to linux though, and xp as i just said has compatibility issues so thats why I still use 98 SE and linux. for my ftp server, linux was the obvious choice over win 2k..
linux's security features along with a good router have allowed me to run my ftp for years w/o a hitch...

I run an ftp.. Serv-U is very secure and considering I'm on windows, very stable [program never crashes, xp stays up for weeks]..

As far as firewalls go, I have a linksys router to network my comps, so very few ports are open..

Nice!
