I don't have any coding problems with XP, the dll error was probably caused by XP or another app and the random freezing seems to have gone away.

I have been doing MOD coding for a good 3 - 4 months on XP with VS 6 and VS .NET with no problems. I did nothing different (install wise) for the OS or VS -Ron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Philip (Fiber) Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 2:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk XP Pro seems to work alright for me (I've d/led patches and done a hell of a lot of tweaking and it's sorta stable now). I would get 2k but here is my problem with 2k - When I try to install it, it copies the files required for 2k install, then it resets my computer (normal). When it gets to the Boot menu, I chose '2k install', press enter and the screen goes blank for a second and comes back to the boot menu. That is why I gave up on 2k and had to settle for XP. Another problem with formatting/erasing windows folder is all of my settings, if I lose those it'll take weeks to get the back to where they were. -Philip -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [DRP]Avatar-X Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 4:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk Sigh... everyone and their windows advice... "REFORMAT! REFORMAT!" First, get windows 2000. not XP, not 98, not ME. Second, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, you DONT need to wipe your whole HD. Just kill off the "Windows" folder, and re-install. All your apps will still be there in C:\program files -av Dynerman David M wrote: > I doubt you have Windows installed over the 11 partitions. > > In fact, your setup makes it EASIER to reformat.
