    Autorun....?

    i have that problem too, and my guess is that its because win2k uses an autoplay and not an autorun file. its obviously supposed to be backwards compatible but my comp doesnt autorun any of my cd's and i made sure that this feature is enabled about everywhere.

    Pincusion monitor image

    when you change refresh rate or resolution your monitor often changes shapes. play around with these settings, they may have changed automatically. also play around with your gpu's settings, like device adjustment etc.

    Loss of Free Space

    from the A+ cert exam guide by mike meyers. whatever microsoft is telling people about 2GB is minimum requirement, 7GB is what you actually need.

    Loss of Free Space

    yes ReddLefty is probably right. another solution is to limit the swap files size, and not let win2k manage it. also check the size of your account's profile, those like to increase in size. you can limit the profile's size in the Local Computer Policy, user configuration, administrative...

    2GB RAM Crash

    have you tried adjusting the swap file? dont let windows handle it, rather set it to 2x-3x the size of ram. or you can disable swap file and see if it works. i think it might help. 2k pro can handle up to 4gb of ram so its not supposed to be a problem...
