W2000 on a Pentium 200

Sandstorm
Right now I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro running Windows 95 and I want to upgrade it to 2000. How do you think W2000 could run on a Pentium 200 MHz computer with 64 megs of RAM? Will be really slow or liveable?.

Bios problem

tessx
I don't think its a 2k problem but just general: I've got a compaq desktop 5200 mmx running 2k on a pentium 200, and since I installed a superior version then 95, I can't acces the bios, and can't install 95 anymore.

Why install SP3?

twolfson
It seems the general concensus is that Win2K-SP2 is pretty much bullet proof. It has been on my computer. Why install SP3 if this is the case? Isn't that just opening up a new can of worms? Opinions.

I am running w2k with office 2000. I upgraded the publisher to 2002 and have problems. When there are background colors in a. pub document I can't see them (just a white background). The background also won't print (although it shows up in print preview).

windows update doesn't work anymore

apaul38
Windows Update on my W2k machine stopped working when they changed the web page layout a couple months back. I had to download the server package of SP3 and run it from my machine instead of letting Windows Update decide which components I needed and only downloading and installing them (125 Meg - thank God for DSL).

IE6 (XP) Null pages/windows?

ofelas
Seems like the past few days, every time I open a webpage, another page automatically pops up. Also, 50% of the links I click freeze IE. Sometimes it freezes IE6, sometimes it stays minimized on the taskbar-tried to maximize these pages/windows, but it doesn't do anything.
