I don't know but I think that Hardware Acceleration does work in Chromium, doesn't it? It doesn't work in Firefox. By the way, I haven't mentioned it before but the .NET Framework installer should also work in XP and 2003. yeah it works in chrome just not firefox im trying to talk to the firefox developers as we all should to re extend the support for windows 2000 since we have made it compatible with the latest standards...idk what to say other then that perhaps see if black can find a way to fix the problem... im not sure exactly what they have changed.. maybe researcha bit on how windows xp and windows 2000 handle hardware acceleration differently
