  • Recently upgraded Windows 2000 server to 2008 which does not support Netbeui. I am trying to install TCP/IP on the BACK box, but can't find a 16-bit version.

    I have an old DOS box running MS add-on workgroup 3.11. It worked Netbeui for years connecting to a W2K Server with no problems. We have recently updated our server to a new server Win 2008 who now does not support Netbeui. I try to install TCP/IP on the BACK box but have had no luck finding the 16-bit version of the tcp protocol. I can succesfully add battery of 32 bits, but the network card doesn't.
     
    Has anyone seen this problem before?

  • Need to upgrade a computer running Windows 2000 to Windows XP

    We have a computer in the office that is still under Windows 2000.  What improvements we need to run to bring it up to Windows XP, to match other desktop computers?  Can I just buy a download of Windows XP, or is there an in-between system that must come first?

    You cannot upgrade Windows 2000 to Windows XP, with or without a
    "the in-between system". You must do a clean installation
    Windows XP.

    Without knowing your hardware configuration, I can't tell you if
    It is adequate for XP, but chances are if it's enough for Windows
    2000, it is also adequate for XP.

    So you would need to buy a full version of Windows XP (there is none
    Downloads). Unfortunately, Windows XP is no longer available, if you
    must seek and hope that a place still has one in stock. Or
    you might find a copy used on sale somewhere. But if I were you, I would
    Be very careful not to buy a place like eBay, because it
    would most likely be a pirated copy it.

  • Facebook reports that I use v3.5 of Firefox and Windows 2000 when running on 16.0.2 and XP (upgraded system). where is this info and how to reset?

    the PC has been improved from Win2000 to XP and has all the XP service packs. It also runs Firefox 16.0.2. When I go on Facebook and other pages, it says that I'm on an unsupported operating system (said I use Windows 2000), and I should upgrade my browser to the latest version (said I'm under FF 3.5 or 3.6 FF, can't remember which). i've looked through the registry, but not not found something that jumps. where can this info could be stored that Firefox is looking.

    Try reading some sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version

  • The upgrade from Windows 2000 Professional to Vista__

    I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and want to upgrade to Vista. According to Microsoft: If your computer is running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional x 64, you are entitled to a copy upgrade from one edition of Windows Vista corresponding or better, but a clean install is required. How can I get this upgrade copy?

    Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

  • Is there an upgrade online available for Windows 2000 to Windows XP?

    Windows 2000 Professional upgrade

    My plan is to buy a new computer very soon, I am looking for a short term solution to my problem.  I'm on Windows 2000 Professional and I use Turbo tax to do my income taxes.  However, I cannot load program Turbo tax this year because it supports more Windows 2000.  My question: is there an upgrade online from Windows 2000 to XP still available?  Or, is there another upgrade online (directly to Vista or Windows 7) that I could use to get my taxes done.  The long-term solution will come in a few weeks when I buy my new thing.  Thank you

    A quick glance on the Toshiba Web site seems to indicate that there is no Windows 7 drivers for your laptop, but you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to double check.  If your laptop can support Windows 7, you can buy and install a version of it.  If you are about to buy a new computer, however, I wouldn't consider this course of action to be economically reasonable.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows XP or Vista.  Although you may be able to find CD's for these versions of Windows, they are likely to be expensive (Amazon), summary (eBay), or both.

    Either wait to do your taxes until you get your new computer or have them online, as Carey suggested.

  • I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS?

    I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

    an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

    in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

    Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

    In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

  • the upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP

    I have an old computer running Windows 2000. I'll be upgrading to Windows XP. Because Windows XP is longer supported by Microsoft that I have to buy a new XP license or can I just install a copy that I already buy and installed on another computer.

    You can not install a copy that is already used.
    And you can not buy a new copy/license because XP is no longer sold.

  • What are my options for upgrading to Windows 2000.

    It of finally time to update my existing operating system, but do not have the time for a clean installation at the present time.  Can I switch to XP?

    Hi russman9785,

    There are five methods for installing Windows XP. Consider the following methods, and then select the appropriate method for your installation.

    • Method 1: Perform a clean installation of Windows XP
      Use this method for a clean installation of Windows XP. A new installation deletes all data from your hard disk by repartitioning and reformatting your hard disk and reinstall the operating system and programs empty (clean) hard disk.
    • Method 2: upgrade to Windows XP
      Use this method if you upgrade to Windows XP from Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.
    • Method 3: Install Windows XP on a new hard drive
      Use this method to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. This is usually done when a new hard drive is installed on your computer.
    • Method 4: Install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation)
      Use this method to install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) to run two operating systems, or to access, repair, or retrieve data from a damaged disc.
    • Method 5: Perform a multiple boot operation
      Use this method to install Windows XP as a separate operating system on your computer. This allows you to install several operating systems on your computer, then select the operating system you want to use every time that you start your computer.
