Windows 2000 Setup Copyright issues

Compatibility issues, I need to install Windows 2000 first, and THEN upgrade to windows XP. Only, I bought windows XP, but did not purchase windows 2000. Should I buy windows 2000, or am I free to use?

Windows 2000 is not free. He is also is more for sale, but you might be able to find a copy to a local computer repair shop or online.

  • Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

    I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  • Compatibility issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP? This is supposed to be THE OS ON CS2 FONCTIONNE_ it? Can anyone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thank you.

    Help! Years - SEVEN to be exact - I BOUGHT Adobe CS2 and widely used. Then, I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery, I tried to return to the use of my Adobe products to see that Adobe is discouraging use of CS2 and because I HAVE a LICENSE and that was the LAST version, I used I wanted to start with a version that I know. Several months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to CONTINUE to USE CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT because of operating system compatibility issues, Adobe continues to discourage the download and use. HERE's THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME operating system as when I BOUGHT it first. I downloaded the SAME EXACT VERSION of CS2. He moved very well. But I can't OPEN the app and the Troubleshoot utility of the reports that there is "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?

    I'm on a PC running Windows 2000, XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it allows to launch on this same machine. I had to reformat my system two years ago, so it has much more space, but when I try to OPEN the application, it won't work. When I run the troubleshooter in Windows it indicates system compatibility problems? Can someone tell me what to try now? Thank you.

    Did you download and install the special version of CS2?  It's the only one, you will be able to use.

  • Display satellite P30 with Windows 2000 issues

    I can't find a driver for Satellite P30 I'm running on Windows 2000. Windows 2000 is the only operating system, I am able to turn it on now. If someone was able to get a P30 works with Windows 2000? Help, please.

    Hello

    This laptop model has been tested only with the Windows XP operating system and it is not supported with Windows 2000. Sorry, but you won't find any display driver for this device on the Toshiba site. The only way is to try to find a driver on the site of the producer graphic CAD.

    I'm not sure but I think that your unit has "ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700" graphics card.

    Thanks for help
    Adrian

    Hello

    1 don't forget to prepare your hard disk with fdisk (a bootable partition) and format it with the Fat32 file system

    2. start by a MSDos saved in your floppy drive-drive with drivers for your PCMCIA CDrom drive (Freecom)

    3. copy the entire i386 to the W2K installation CD directory your HD, be sure to have loaded smartdrive, otherwise it will take ages!

    4 start again with the saved, go to the i386 directory and start Windows NT

    You can look here for more information about freecom pilots and the bootdisks: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232
    On your 3440 it should be easier than with the R100 because of normal 2.5 "HD 6 GB, but the problem is basically the same

  • Tecra M2V crashes during the Windows 2000 format

    I'm working on the installation of Windows 2000 for a laptop Tecra M2V in my school. The installation process crashes when the disk has reached 6% format. It is always in the same place that the deadlock occurs. Is there a way to get around this, or can I change a setting in the bios Setup? Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    Not easy to say what can be the problem, but if the formatting process always freezes at the same place I assume that there is a problem with the HARD drive sector faulty or bad. I recommend you to check the HARD drive using a tool. Google a bit and you will find many tools for free.

  • Re: IMPORTANT - how to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E)?

    Hello

    I am an independent developer and absolutely need to install multiple operating systems on my * Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E) *: it is very important for me because I need to check the functioning of the software under each environment for real (not not using solutions like VMware, for example).

    Well, then, right now, I did a backup Acronis image of original full HDD, and then deleted the original scores of WinRE and data, reduced and moved from disk to the partition of Vista... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi - initialize. For the moment, everything sounds right: Vista works perfectly!

    Also note, I have configured the SATA in the BIOS Setup in "Compatibility" mode just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use!

    Second step: now, * I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) EN *. Of course, I am aware that the sticking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, which is not present in the CD of Win 2 K... So, I just make a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite; now, I tried using the driver Intel site on Intel 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller (ICH8M) and page drivers Toshiba XP.

    But it does not completely: the Win 2 K install begins... All the drivers are well charged (including the ones AHCI) and just after this stage of loading, I get a black screen with just a blink of an eye cursor at the top left of the screen... indefinitively :-(

    I tried also to SATA mode "AHCI" in the BIOS and it's the same thing.

    So, what to do next?

    I used the wrong AHCI drivers? Do I need to integrate as many drivers Toshiba (about chipset, display, sound) in the installation of Windows 2000 using nLite CD? I mean the capacity of the CD is not reached.

    Is there a way or a tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere? For XP, I think it will be easier because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but earlier, my problem is to install Windows 2000: Although Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are many professionals who still use-it... And my work as a developer, is to make my software also works on this OS! * I really need to find a way to install it on this computer! *

    Awaiting your response informed and all the tips or idea that could help me to complete the task.
    In a word: HELP! Oops!

    > No I used the wrong AHCI drivers?
    Perhaps.

    As far as I know that you need the crib Intel Matrix Storage and in this package, you will find the SATA drivers.
    http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/index.htm

    There you have to choose to get the latest driver - version PV-> Win 2000 8.5-> there you must take the package from point 3

  • Problem with Variables shared in exe running on Windows 2000

    Anyone know if there are problems with the Variables shared on Windows 2000? I can't get the LabVIEW executables that use shared Variables to work Windows 2000 on a computer with just the runtime engine.  Everything works perfectly on XP on a machine with just the LabVIEW runtime engine installed (using LV 8.5).  Shared variables are supposed to work less than 2000.  I have attached the sample code that is based on one of the examples NOR to the Variables Shared - editor and the Subscriber - with some extra stuff for the diagnosis, I added.  On Windows 2000, you can only run one or the other exe.  It seems that as soon as the other come to the part on the diagram with the shared variable node it crashes.  Shared variables are getting written in the because if you close the editor and then run the exe subscriber it reads the latest values set properly.

    On Windows 2000 I tried with the administrator account and off the ladies of viruses, firewalls.  There may be another Windows 2000 setting that causes this problem with the two exes trying to access shared variables.  I do not have the development environment on Windows 2000 computer that the purpose of this exercise is to see if its worth using shared variables.  Windows 2000 computers remain the same in the Test and measurement world.  A research on Developer Zone does not there is no particular problem with Windows 2000.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Hi André,.

    Thanks for the comments!  Your feedback will help us improve LabVIEW for our customers.  This bug has been reported to R & D (#45493), and they're currently investigating this issue.  For now, the best solution seems to be using a different operating system, as this seems to occur only in Windows 2000.  Thanks for the comments!

  • Windows 2000 Professional and X 61, X61s

    Hello

    • Anyone know if we can install and use windows 2000 Professional on a X 61/X61s (stata questions?)? Is - this dangerous (drivers, potential property damage)?
    • Some drivers are available for windows 2000 Professional. It's loaded with windows 2000 pro recovery disks in?
    • It will improve the battery life?

    Thank you.

    Hi, I had installed on my x 61 for about a year with zero problems of win2k. the reason why I went finally xp was due to new standards unavaiable on 2 k (wga, video hi-def, sdhc, etc.)

    Oh, one thing that does not work: on the card reader sdhc cards. This isn't really a big problem because lack of wga could be...

    for the sata issue I can think of two options: integrate or start in compatibility mode, install the drivers and drivers switch to sata.

    Good luck

  • (Windows 2000) Error #0x80072EFE when you try to run Windows/Microsoft Update
