Hey, thanks for the replies folks, do appreciate it. I installed Win2k on Tuesday night and had a few problems (it does not like my internal zip drive), but after some experimentation, all works well now and my PC noticeably flies faster than under WinMe. Now I'm a happy camper Thanks again. MK

Hi I used Win2k on my previous PC (an Intel based box, and liked it a great deal), but have since upgraded and have had difficulties with it on my new PC (ATA100 stuff) and settled for Me, which is proving to be quite good. However, given the amount of memory I have, before persevering with problem solving the issues around running Win2k, I'd like to know whether I would get more effective use of my system under Win2k than presently under Win2k. I primarily use my PC for gaming (and all my games do work under Win2k) and Internet use. My system is: Athlon 1.2GHz Thunderbird ASUS A7A266 motherboard - rev. 1.03, BIOS 1003b (ALiMAGiK 1 chipset: M1647 Northbridge M1535D+ Southbridge) 350w Topower PSU 512Mb Mushkin PC2100 DDR RAM Hercules Prophet II Ultra (64MB DDR) 2x WD Caviar 40 GB ATA100 hard drives (WD400BB) 16x Pioneer DVD-116 Iomega ZIP250 Hercules Game Theatre XP Sony G500 21" monitor LianLi PC12 aluminium case WindowsME Thanks.

Hi I have tried all the suggested remedies (copying directories, APPCOMPAT etc.) to install RA under Win2k SP1, but to no avail (I keep getting 'this is a Windows 95 only game' message at install). I don't want to dual boot for one game, but are there any tricks to try or third party apps to get around just the install checking the Windows version? Thanks.
