The Dropbox links work again!

I'm getting this problem in my Win2K install, too. But I cope with it. I don't really use URLs, not when I have bookmarks and the New Tab page. I had to install Win2K on a school PC (Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM) and I slipped in UURollup, however, I used an older version of Firefox. (10.05) I'll have to check URLs on it.

I know about Windows2000.tk . I had created that "How to install Google Chrome and Latest Firefox on Windows 2000 + Updated Win2K ISO" video. I featured your UUrollup and your Windows 2000 website is featured on my website. Right now I use avast antivirus, and it's highly likely they will cancel Win2K support in 2013 on the latest avast program. However this does not pose a security threat as virus definition updates on the last version of Win2K avast (the ones that keep you secure) will continue for a long time. Right now avast 4.8 is still getting definition updates and you could use it as your antivirus. Other stuff UUrollup will cover. Well, we will prepare the Win2K box soon.

Actually it is Windows 2000 compatible, but I don't have an i7 or an i5, nor can I get one. I'll just have to stick with the Pentium. I'm getting the PC today, I'll have you updated on Windows 2000 installation. It would also help if tomasz86 would see this topic. Let's hope that it works.

I'm getting a bit concerned as soon the new UEFI BIOS implemented by machines will bar Windows 2000 and XP's installation. Right now there are many BIOS based machines still on sale, so in my opinion we should grab them as fast as we can to keep the Win2K (and WinXP) legacy alive. But I have one more concern, will unofficial support be able to handle the software from 2013 and later and make it compatible with Windows 2000? Or are we doomed to "upgrading" to a more bloated OS?

Nothing. It just freezes. Strange thing I've seen an i7 laptop using the same Nehalem technology as my laptop... Windows 2000 installed without problem... I think it's the problematic processor. I might get an i7 laptop along with my desktop in the future. Or an i5. I have an i5 that I can test on whether it's Win2K compatible or not.

Thanks. I knew these parts are Windows 2000 compatible. Now I can order them. My USB wireless works with Windows 2000 anyway, not a problem. Also, is the Desktop Pentium compatible with Windows 2000? My lenovo has a laptop Pentium and it won't install Win2K unless the second core is disabled, which is pointless.

The N450 is a Single core with HT, not a dual core. So it's not a real problem.

Hello. I would like to get a new Custom built PC, but one that I can install Windows 2000 on. I have gathered some specs from an available PCmaker Processor: Intel Pentium (Dual core) RAM: 4GB DDR3 Intel G41 Chipset and a 500GB HDD. What are the necessities while installing Windows 2000 on such a machine? I'm stuck on a cruddy Lenovo which doesn't support Windows 2000, so I have to use Windows 7. I'm not sure about the socket, but the Mobo is a Gigabyte. I'll have to check later.

This is due to the new, useless Windows 8. M$ wants to clean their servers for the cruddy new Metro look.

I'd recommend a board with an LGA 775. You can get a Core 2 Duo with a G31/G33 or even G41/43 chipset and use integrated graphics. The drivers work on Windows 2000, at least for the ASUS boards. I'm getting one for my main Win2K box.
