R30 Windows 2000 Pro

[BoBraxton]

I bought $400.00 IBM ThinkPad R30 and replaced the Windows 98 with Windows 2000, formatting the hard drive from scratch. Things seem to work well on that unit except the video quality is lousy, particularly on photographs (there may be a loose connection or something AND it seems to vary depending on the login and desktop corresponding to that login).
Later I bought another $400.00 IBM ThinkPad R30 (same retail store, PC Retro) and decided this time to try running the Windows 2000 setup as an upgrade, converting to NTFS.

The update to Windows 2000 Pro worked Ok.
To connect to the internet, I got the Ethernet driver

This allowed me to download all R30 drivers at once; however, after I ran all of them, I still seem to be missing Audio driver for Windows 2000 Pro IBM ThinkPad R30

Windows NT audio driver does not appear to install on 2000 Pro

aftp1cnt.exe size 7,536,406
Version 1.55a - Audio driver for Windows NT 4.0

Still searching.

Hi Bo,

Did you try this audio driver? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-39866
Version: 5.12.01.5261
Release Date: 2004/02/26
aftp1c2k.exe 1,509,767 Version 5.12.01.5261 - Audio Features VI for Windows 98/Me/2000

It appears to be the one you need - hope it helps.

Just install and run the Software Installer and quit mucking about installing individual drivers!

You're going to wind up chasing your tail if you accidentally fail to uninstall some program or driver before loading a new one. The Software Installer does it all for you automatically.
