So i tried 2000 and that doesnt even install windows Specs: 3200+ 2gig 7800gt 200gb maxtor
You may have a driver issue with the directx 9. Try a google search for problems with directx 9 (there are several listed). There seems to be no advantage to using Windows 2000 over Windows XP, except for some hdd space if your capacity is limited. I had one with 2.1 gig of space and decided to use it as a backup and found 2000 to use 500 meg less space than XP w/service pack 1. Good luck.
