My parents have Windows 2000 and have been delete unwanted and defragmented programs. How do you find drivers that could have been deleted?

Computer does not start at the top. Something about the lack of drivers and hardware. Cannot find the boot disk.

Hi Daniel,.

Unfortunately, support for Windows 2000 ends of Microsoft.

    First of all, in my opinion, this operating system is already installed
    No matter, for the following reason:

    If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned, the first thing I have with it would be to reinstall the operating system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
    which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
    There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.
    If you reinstall Windows properly, you are playing with fire.

    Second, you must decide which version of Windows you want to
    install. Although you didn't, because you posted in Windows XP
    Forum, is that what you want to install XP? If Yes, let me point out that
    Windows XP has been interrupted, and find a copy for sale is now
    very difficult, except for a place like eBay. and if you buy it on
    eBay, you run the risk that you will get a pirated copy
    you will not be able to activate.

    Third, you must determine what that the hardware configuration of the
    the machine and determine whether it is adequate for any version
    Windows you want to install. An old machine like a race
    Windows 2000 is most likely insufficient for any version of
    Windows.

    And fourth, you may need drivers for some of the material in the
    machine for the version of Windows Installer. And with such an old
    machine, there is a good chance that there's no such thing as the drivers you need.

    What all this boils down to is the real possibility that you
    actually can't do anything with this machine without replacing the
    the majority of its material. And they can be economic to something
    do; you could save money and be better off buying a new machine that
    by doing this.

    I use Windows 8 and cannot determine how to change my preferences of Adobe.

    You will probably need to do a study on how Microsoft Windows 8 to use, especially if you do not have a touch screen.

    Two thoughts

    1. If you do not have a touch screen, the Adobe Reader Touch may not be the best choice. It is much more limited than the ordinary Adobe Reader. Do you have it chosen for any reason, or any simply because Microsoft has encouraged you in their App Store?

    2. try a right click, sometimes seems to substitute for a touch the edge. I know that you can not use the mouse just as if she was tactile.
