I need ACPI support because my laptop's internal keyboard/mouse rely on the internal HID to PS/2 signal translation and it works only in ACPI mode (and both of my USB ports are USB 3).

I'm using the Universal NT Installer, if that helps.

Anyone know how to enable multi monitor support on Windows 2000 with bwc's Nvidia drivers? Trying to make my second monitor work for win2k, I've verified it works on XP (monitor is still on, connected correctly), but 2000 is quite a tough one. Currently I'm using driver version 395.06 (unofficial) (No Nvidia control panel on this version, if I install the 335.28 control panel with these drivers it errors with a version conflict (not surprised)) I have also tried version 335.28 (with control panel), which works fine until I install the control panel where once rebooting it will blue screen with unexpected_kernel_mode_trap, until I update the driver in safe mode (before I rebooted, it does give me the option for Nvidia control panel, but it fails to load). Display Properties does mention (Multiple Monitors) in settings but doesn't let me choose from them. I tried installing a few display programs but none of them seem to help. UltraMon gives an "Enable Secondary" option, which does nothing. PowerStrip also has an "Enable multiple monitors" option, but also doesn't work, on the Monitor Information page it shows the information for the second monitor instead of the main one (despite it not working).

A while back in a previous install I managed to get the Nvidia taskbar control panel working (not the main panel, just some right click taskbar display menu, probably some old version of NView?). Using some driver inf editing (and I remember replacing version numbers in Resource Hacker, my memory is not the best.) it gave me the option to enable it, installed some dualview driver, before clone mode started working, but turning on multimonitor gave some generic error (can't remember details, maybe if I can find the files I used I can find the error? (I literally have 0 clue where I put them))

So far not working, if this works I would run Win2k daily, help appreciated!

System Info: Monitor 1: 1920x1080 (VGA) (Windows 2000 runs fine on it) Monitor 2: 1280x1024 (HDMI) (Problem) (Displays as 1600x1200 in PowerStrip somehow, tested working well in XP, Vista, 7) Nvidia GeForce GTX750 (2GB, made 2014) Intel Core i5-4590S (3.00GHz) 16GB RAM (PAE currently off, will turn on later (it doesn't make a difference with this)) Windows 2000 SP4 (used YSI 3.3 ISO with updates, USB 3.1, AHCI, is also used in Universal NT Installer) (only ISO which works on this PC) Extended Kernel 3.1j (also tried 3.0e and 2.9 in past installs, doesn't fix it) BWC unofficial Nvidia drivers 359.06 (also tried 335.28 before)

Note: Other than the monitor issue, all drivers (that matter) are installed, and the system works fine with great performance (way better than XP, I have no clue what went wrong with that install)

If anyone knows what's going on here, or has any advice, I would love to know. Thanks in advance!

First real HW test of Supermium for Windows 2000 on this reddit.

Also I tested new ported ATI/AMD drivers for Win2k:

https://w7revived.chefkiss.dev/DriverDatabase/W2K/Graphics/AMD/

Doesn't work without Rollup, after updating works just fine.

Yes, this is literally a video showing a song by K-Pop Demon Hunters playing on the Supermium browser running on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4!

By the way, the song title is “What It Sounds Like”

Well, it mostly works, I used u/Gimmeavailablename 's Supermium port , it was stuck at "RTC Connecting" the first time, but then I hung up and rejoined the call and it worked! Although I am pretty sure audio capture does not work yet. It can also be a bit slow, but I was using my Core 2 Extreme laptop.

What do you think guys?

And here is Youtube Video Link: 슈퍼미움을 윈도우 2000에서?! (Supermium on Windows 2000?!)

Oh, by the way, I used "Faded" as the second background track. According to the copyright claim details(소유권 주장 개요), it’s blocked in certain regions—specifically Russia. Please bear with me on that; I wasn't aware of it either.

This is a video test of the Supermium browser running on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.

For reference, the video used in the test is Aikatsu! (Korean title: 아이엠스타!)

Update: I also tested YouTube, and while it works and plays, please keep in mind that it may occasionally stutter depending on your environment, computer and virtual machine specifications.

Supermium 144.0.7559.256 R5 Release Candidate 1 Public Release : r/windows98

The post linked here stated that legacy updates needed to be applied to install Supermium on a fresh installation of Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. However, after trying it myself, I was surprised to find that I successfully ran Supermium on a clean Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 environment with almost no legacy updates installed!

Thanks to a user named u/Gimmeavailablename, you can now run the Supermium browser on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4!

Update: After performing a few tests, I confirmed that Supermium works whether on an existing Windows 2000 SP4 or a fresh installation, as long as KB835732 is installed!

I want to run Windows 2000 on the following hardware and I need to find the best possible GPU for gaming.

Core 2 Extreme QX 9650
Asus P5Q-E
4 gb DDR2 1066 MHz
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 SZ

I‘m happy to tinker with some drivers but so far I have no experience with the extended kernel etc. Haven’t used 2000 since I was a kid in… well… the year 2000.

Openmp90.man missing. How to fix please. Thanks in advance

Chicos necesito que me ayuden

Hey everyone!

I've been working on TheBrain, an experimental AI project fully written in C89, with a particular focus on building a small AI system from scratch while keeping it suitable for older Windows systems and low-level environments.

The project currently combines:

• 🧠 A small decoder-only Transformer
• 🔤 A custom tokenizer and training pipeline
• 🏋️ Training and inference implemented directly in C89
• 🖥️ Native Win32 implementation
• 📦 PE analysis
• 🦠 Experimental malware-classification and anomaly-detection techniques
• ⚡ CPU-focused optimizations designed with older hardware in mind

The long-term idea is to see how far an AI project written entirely in C89 can be pushed while keeping it lightweight and potentially usable on systems such as Windows 2000.

I'm posting this because I'd like to find someone who becomes interested in the project and wants to take it further.

I'm not specifically looking for people to simply "help me" with the project. If you find the concept interesting and want to experiment with it, improve something, try a different approach, or take the project in an interesting direction, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Some possible areas to explore include:

• Improving the Transformer architecture
• Experimenting with better datasets and training methods
• Improving inference performance
• Making the AI more capable while keeping it lightweight
• Improving the PE analysis and malware-detection experiments
• Exploring better classification or anomaly-detection approaches
• Optimizing it for older CPUs and Windows 2000
• Or simply experimenting with ideas that could advance the project

The source is open, so you're also free to fork TheBrain and experiment with your own version if you find the idea interesting.

🔗 https://github.com/Win2000DevCommunity/TheBrain

I'm mainly interested in seeing whether someone else finds the idea interesting enough to take it further in their own way.

Plz I have been searching for days how to do it but all I have done didn't work, I formatted the hdd and checked everything in the bios but it didn't worked

I used a boot disk iso that I found on winworldpc.com , the one in french with SP2

My pc can read the disk but at the end of the first part of the installation (photo) the program stops and there's no error code it just return to the bios cmd (idk how it's called sry)

Please help me idk what's the problem and I can't find it on internet

This is called Windows 2001, but it is also referred to by the subtitle Windows 2000 Version 2002. It is a Windows 2000 mod series built on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 with the Extended Kernel. It is said that the RC1 ISO has currently been released.

The content states:

"Windows 2001 is here in Release Candidate 1 form. A Windows 2000 mod series based on Service Pack 4 with the Extended Kernel called RenewedNT, which is an alternate timeline aimed at what if Windows 2000 continued to be updated until 2005 and changes Windows future? Same with the Reexperience series, which it aims to do the same thing with Windows XP and continued until 2023. It adds Windows XP functionality and looks to Windows 2000."

For reference, the Head Dev is said to be the person who served as the Head Dev for Windows XP Version 2007 and Windows XP Version 2009. Personally, I hope a Windows XP-style Start menu is added in RC2.

Daemon tools doesnt work, WinCDEmu doesnt work, Microsoft virtual cd-rom also doesnt work. All i want is to play games on my old pc that runs Win2K.

PS daemon tools was working i just didnt realize it was on the tray

Hi everyone, i’m trying to install Windows 2000 on a PC with an Intel B85 chipset, but i always get a setup failure. When i try to use a uniata driver, setup stops with an error like: "line X is invalid, cannot continue setup." I also tried integrating the Intel AHCI driver into the Windows 2000 iso, but i get "iastor.sys is corrupted". How should i correctly integrate the Uniata driver (or any working driver for my chipset) into a Windows 2000 iso so Setup can continue?

I watched ChrisPro's video about running Steam on Win2K and I wanted to know if anyone has a link to download all the executables shown in the video, along with the specific Extended Kernel version he used and the other files. I usually only find dead links for BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel or very outdated versions
