How to connect a windows 2000 laptop to the internet?

Q. Hi, my parents said i can use an old windows 2000 laptop, but when no matter what i have tried to connect it, nothing works. all i have is the laptop and the plug in cord. we have our own internet network.

A. Hi! Dana! Great to hear you're still on th e Old Windows 2000! One of my favorites! But the problem being it old is that your ways has to be a little different.

I believe the reason you're unable to connect is because the needed drivers are not installed. I firmly believe your laptops was provided with a Driver CD. Install it. Inserting it, might give you options like VGA, Eternet/Lan, Sound etc... For a LAN internet connection, it is necessary that you install Ethernet/Lan driver...

If you don't have the CD, try downloading the drivers respective to your laptop model. Make sure you mention the model number and the OS. If you can't find for windows 2000, go for windows Me, this should work too, since both these OS's are related... Need more help? Just knock in..

Hope this helps... :)

How to remove the old windows 2000 from my laptop?
Q. Windows 2000 is taking up precious Hard disk space! Have put xp on but need rid of the old operating system, please help!

A. Well, there's no "Delete Operating System" button.

Quite frankly, I don't know why you'd switch to XP in the first place. Windows 2000 completely OWNS XP and Vista. But, whatever, your choice.

You'll have to enter safe mode. I'm not sure if your computer has Dual OS abilities or not, but I presume that you're not asked which OS you'd like to use when you boot-up your computer.

Enter safe mode, and remove every Windows 2000 component that you can find. Short of re-formatting your computer, this is about the best you can do. Re-formatting is actually a good idea, though, when switching operating systems. Find a way to back-up your files and simply format your hard drive, then re-apply your windows XP.

Hope this helps. :)
