Can i upgrade a Compaq Contura aero 4/33c to win 2000 or win xp?

Q. I want to upgrade my computer to win 2000 or win xp.

A. Most likely, no. Windows 98 might not even be possible.

How to install, win 98, win 2000 and Ubuntu in one machine?
Q. Is it even possible?
I tried installing them in that order, Ubuntu only recognized win 2000.

I hope you can help, thanks in advance.

A. yes, using the GRUB bootloader, you have to log into an admin account, access the terminal, then type.

sudu nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
<insert password when required>
then read that, it will tell you how to map out partitions. You need to add a stanza for each OS you want to add at the bottom of the list (beneath the automagic kernel list)
good luck

Where can I find some good quality themes for win 2000 pro?
Q. I like win 2000 pro, would just like to give it a face lift. Don't want cheap looking themes or someothing that will cause errors. Possible XP, Vista, or even a MAC type theme.

A. stardocks.com or wincustomize.com are the sites I use. I found a killer Vista theme on wincustomize.com.

How do i "fix" my display mode on a new install of win 2000? I am only getting 16 colors?
Q. Formatted new disk, installed clean win 2000 and can only get 16 colors and 640x800. Vga is only type of adapter showing and I can't change it

A. install the video driver software that came with your computer then reboot.
