Q. I just installed Windows XP onto my computer that had Windows 2000, and now I have the option when I boot the CPU, to either use 2000, or XP. I'm running out of space, and I need to delete it.
A. If Windows 2000 was pre-installed when the computer was first purchased, you cannot uninstall it. If at any time you had to do a Factory Reset, it would reset to Windows 2000.
Choose whichever you want to use. If you are running out of space then buy a remote portable hard drive and transfer stuff to it that you don't use all the time such as videos and music.

How do you switch to compabitibily mode in Windows 2000?
Q. I'm trying to install Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 11 on my computer but it says it doesn't work with Windows 2000, only XP and Vista. I'm trying to find a way around it.
A. XP and Vista are more recent than Windows 2000, so 2000 will not have a compatibility mode option for those operating systems. You should plan on upgrading to XP Pro if you're on Windows 2000.
How should I configure Windows 2000 machine to connect to a home network?
Q. Hey I have two computers connected to a DSL router at my home. One runs Windows 2000 (and connects to the router using ethernet) while the other Windows XP (and connects using USB). Both work alright.. as in they connect to the Internet. I made the settings on WinXP machine so that it is available on the local network and I can "ping" it from the Windows 2000 machine. However I am not able to connect to it so that I can read/write files to it. Can somebody tell me
1) how to configure the Windows 2000 machine so that it is available on the local network?
2) what extra have I to do to see shared files on either systems?

A. You'll need to do a couple of things.
In the network configuration in Windows 2000, you'll need to add client "Client for Microsoft Networks" and service "File and Print sharing for Microsoft Network."
After doing this, and probably rebooting, you'll then need to select which folder on your hard drive to share. Right-mouse click on the folder and select "Properties" and then click on the "Sharing" tab.
You'll also need to give your machine a name if it doesn't have one already. You do that through the System icon in Control Panel under the "Network Identification" tab and clicking the "Properties" button. You'll probably also want to change the Group to something more interesting here. Make sure that the "Group" is the same for both machines in order to make connecting to each of them as easy as possible.
This should get you going in the right direction.
The instructions for XP are basically the same, except some of the names are a little different and some of the Control Panel windows are a bit different.
