RE: FLASH: DOWNLOADING FLASH on WINDOWS 2000

[David Jacobs]

I have been using Win2000 for a while. There are no Flash problems with it,

but sketchy driver support for devices such as sound cards have created

problems. I have also had pains with Creative.


These device issues will clear up as the manufacturer's release updated

drivers. 2000 is not at fault, and neither is Microsoft. You can whine and

bitch at them anyway if you want. It's popular, and it might make you feel

better. Anyway, it's more fun than tracking down the cause of your real

problem.
