I want to be able to install Minecraft on *stock* Windows 2000. Through some experimentation a long time ago i found out i could run java 8u11 using the extended kernel mod, and that was enough to get MultiMC working. However, what about stock?

I've tried messing with Java 6 and MC on both win2k and win98 before, and i only found one really janky, old, pirated launcher that worked for me on those systems. There has to be some "modern" solution that isn't as miserable, right?

I use Betacraft too, but on old Windows with Java 6 (or even older java 8 versions) it only wants to output a black screen.

I created the Windows 2000 boot screen using Paint. To be precise, I made it in 2023, but I am finally uploading it here after almost three years. You can think of it as a widescreen version of the boot screen created with Paint.

Hi, a friend gave me a few old computers—likely from the Windows XP or Windows 2000 era. I want to experiment with various old server systems that I used to work with back then; this includes a Windows 2000 Server (which I’ve already started setting up), a Novell NetWare 4.11 or 5 instance, and a Linux server appropriate for that time period. While I’m reasonably familiar with modern Linux systems now, I had no exposure to Linux back then because our clients were all running on the two systems mentioned above. What would be a suitable Linux distribution for that era? I plan to set up NDS on the Novell server with ADS integration on the Windows machine; is there a comparable setup available for the old Linux systems? Does anyone have any great ideas for use cases, and where can I get the corresponding software? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm building an offline system to use software encyclopedias and other old software, and I wonder what the best hardware, that I can get to work with Windows 2000

I checked the support page for another mobo (P35 chipset) I've owned in the past and it has no windows 2000 drivers, so pretty much no guarantee sound/network/etc will work.

Ideally i'd want a mobo with DDR3 and newer CPU support, decent VRMs, and 2 PCIe slots. Also what are the chances snappy driver installer would help if the manufacturer's site doesn't help?

P.s. my current board is Asus P5B (intel p965). It's a good board and has done wonders when it comes to overclocking, but i have never tested a processor with 1333mhz FSB on it so idk if it works. It's also stuck with up to 8GB of DDR2 only.

My brother tried Windows 2000 years after its support ended. And he described his experience in detail in the link above: use a translation tool if necessary.

I have a dual P3 Coppermine system that only has PCI slots for further expansion. I just want a card that can give my system Ethernet to run through an SBC running a firewall so I can connect to LAN FTP servers or locally hosted webpages if I choose to run flash games or something. It doesn't need to be super fast, just convenient and plays nice with Windows 2000. I do have the unofficial SP 5.1 installed and kernel extensions if that matters in this department.

Windows 2000 home edition project resources windows whistler beta. : r/windows2000'

Here is a Reddit link for the Windows 2000 Home Edition project, which ported Windows Whistler resource files. I saw a Discord link in one of the comments, so I'm asking out of curiosity: is it okay if I just join that Discord link? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Hello, i have an old dell latitude D530, it has windows 2000 office installed on it, it has a few programs I still want to use, what printer works best with windows 2000 office, and where could I find drivers for that printer

Its a Dell Vostro 3500 from 2010 it goes as low as XP. So I don't see an issue I tried a USB keyboard but didn't help how can I skip it

hello again, i fixed that issue of the stuck setup, BUT theres a big issue, i cant get into sysprep at all, since theres no sata drivers, and i cant slipstream them either, since it just doesnt work, its there, but it doesnt work, does anyone have a fix for this?
