I had a problem with the Win 2000 install. When I try to install ACPI mode the system is froze then I installed with Standard PC mode it is done with the install but slow. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens LI1718 with 2GB RAM and Intel Core Duo 1.87 Ghz processor. I installing now the USP5.1 update.
I don't think so as it should be in I386 and again in driver.cab. So it may not work best for the job.
Using the extended kernel plus the ntdllx3 built by the same guy who made the KB979683 installer, I have upgraded MMC to version 3.0 in Windows 2000. I copied over the files and registered mmcndmgr.dll and mmcshext.dll.
This will allow XP-compatible MMC snap-ins to work. 2000 native ones work, but some may give off non-fatal errors.
I'd like to add OpenRCT2 to the list of compatible games. I used the Vista version of MSVCRT.dll in the extended kernel, and the latest build for Windows XP, which can be found here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/releases/tag/v0.2.6
X99 is the highest known to install Windows 2000. You should try disabling extraneous devices like serial and parallel ports before you try to install. And hopefully you have PS/2 ports on your board because of a oversight in Windows 2000's usb.inf, but try making this change:
Otherwise, it only copies over usbd.sys if UHCI controllers are detected, and the USB 2.0 stack also needs usbd.sys, causing them to fail by default on H61 and above.
Later ones (like this unknown board with an i7-8700K) seem to need a more convoluted procedure:
Storage is not an issue I'll wind up slapping the LSI 20320IE and use SCSI disk. So I don't care too much about that. And luckily there is a PS/2 combo port, I'd just need to find the y cable. And I think I have a PCIE x16 GPU with 2000 drivers. It's just figuring that USB 3 that'll probably be the difficult part. And getting ACPI working.
OK. I'm stuck trying to install the windows update agent so that I can get updates to work with a WSUS server. I have installed the pre-reqs and I am logged on as admin but it wont budge:

I'm assuming that the USP doesn't work at all. Maybe KernelEx still manages to work?
Stay safe and thanks in advance!
It's also far too unstable, as it will bugcheck/BSoD if you try installing 7zip.
Well, at least I can eliminate this idea from my checklist! 😄
Guess I'll stick with regular Windows 2000. But thanks for the response.
2416 was better, and is the last of the "True" whistler before it moved to Xp-like. I actually used it day-to-day for some time.
I digress. Has anybody tried Windows 2000 on a 170 board? I've got a z170 board I'd very much like to run 2000 on, however I'd think it is too new.
usbd.sys
usbehci.sys
usbport.sys

Thank you very much.
