Err... you have to press F(something) key, F5 if I've remembered it correctly.. at the beginning of setup (Setup is checking your hardware configuration...)
This was the way how I made it work on my laptop with VIA processor.
JackTheStripper, I dont think his CPU is slow, maybe its unsupported (like my VIA), or the installation program just cant determine correctly what type of processor it is.
why would you even waste time putting 2k on there? Windows checks the processor speed for a reason - too see if your hardware meets the minimal requirements to run Windows. I'm sure you obviously know that though. However, how much memory do you even have?
If I were you, I'd just hang out with Windows 95..depending on your memory though, you could most likely run 98 decent.
Windows 2000 is going to crawl, its going to be completely unbearable on a 100MHz CPU. Even if the CPU were overclocked to 133, it would still be completely unbearable, even more so if you have the bare minimum on RAM.

If you don't have a fast enough CPU I wouldn't try since the minimum is 133MHz and anything under that is slow as shit.
I have an few socket 7 CPU's that run up to 450 MHz for example and they can run win2k reasonably well

-Q
Install things like updates and you should be able to use it fine without crawling too bad.
