Well I don't know what you are doing then as UT & Q3 on the 32Mb SDR Radeon I have here are as smooth as silk under XP, and these are with the Radeon drivers available from Windows Update :D :D
Could anyone tell me the right info for the boot.ini.. I've got Winxp on my C:\ (master h/d) and Winme on my I:\ (slave h/d). I've been to Microsoft's Knowledge Database and it said about doing it on a different patition, so I thought this should be similar.. This is how I set it up:
[boot loader]
timeout=20
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
I:\ = "Microsoft Windows"
I put that like it said and I got the option at startup to choose which one, but all it did was reboot, so I change it to:
[boot loader]
timeout=20
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
I:\Windows="Microsoft Windows"
Now it asking for a file "hal.dll" which goes "windows root>\system32\hal.dll" I've found it in Winxp, but not Winme.. I've checked all the cabs.. It's a "Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL" what ever that is. I can't see it if I copy the version from Winxp to Winme it'll work, so I'll just have to play around some more.. :) :)
