Actually, there is nothing wrong with 2000. It doesn't have the gaming problems of NT. And XP is basically the fisher price Version of 2000 anyways.

Then 2000 has problems too Every single game I've tried to instal on my new XP laptop (old one's screen imploded) has failed to work right. This is all in compatability mode BTW..

TWE: Gun animations play very slowly.
Worms: Crashes every time it switches resolution. So I can only play in 640x480.
Pinball: crashes, period. (this is somewhat ironic because an inferior Version of the SAME GAME comes with Windows XP, and works)

That's cause fisher price XP has no DOS kernal.

99% of games I have tried to run on 2000 have run with no problems.

Not one of those games uses DOS Two of them use DirectX, actually.

Well I can't explain all of the crappiness of fisher price XP.

The best gaming platform remains Win98SE period. Greatest compatability with games and gaming peripherals. Yeah, it is not as stable as XP or 2000, but for a gaming only system it just works better.

I'd love to instal 98 on this laptop, but I doubt I could find the drivers to do it.
