You should have installed Windows XP on a home computer system. Windows 2000 isn't meant for them and most computer manufacturers don't support upgrades to Win 2000 for home computers, except for certain home laptops. I'm running Windows XP and am very happy with it. Its really user friendly.

XP is great except for the countless compatability issues. I'd wait a few more months for the next service pack before making the same mistake I did.

I have Win 2000 Pro in both of my home computers with no compatability problems and they work great.

Win XP is just a glorified version of W2K, except it has a big downside with the product activation feature. I've been using W2K on 3 home computers for almost 2 years now and it's by far the best MS operating system for the home or anywhere else, unless you are into computer games.

W2K should run fine on any computer that can run XP.
