Re: xp to win 2000

If you have a third party keyboard, you might try and find new
drivers, seems like the driver is corrupt, or your keyboard is
misfiring. In a document, if there are multiple pages, does pageUP/
down register twice? Or only in this program?

I don't care for the Fisher-Price interface, but that's not why I want to go

behaves as if I'm holding the shift or control keys down. If, for example,
I click on the text in a file rename dialog box, XP will highlight the the
text from the from the point where I clicked to the beginning of the line.
The backspace and delete keys sometimes stop working. Also, I use a freeware
program called CDisplay to sequentially view images. You hit either Page Up
or Page Down to view the next image in the list. CDisplay worked fine when
I was running W2K on this pc, and it works on other XP machines. But on
this pc, it skips every other image in the sequence. If anyone has any idea
how to fix this please let me know.

About a month ago I bought a new, bigger hard drive for an older PC. I
decided to install XP Pro on the new hard drive. I've since
decided I'd rather use Windows 2000 on this machine. My question is:
does anybody have any recommendations on how to remove XP and do a
clean install without reformatting the hard drive? Thanks in advance.

Alas, not possible. You will need to flatten & reinstall from scratch
(after backing up all your data) and then reinstall all your programs -
there's no downgrade in place possible. .

Since XP Pro is really still Win2k with more bells and whistles (many of
which you can hide/disable if you don't like the Fisher-Price interface,
as many don't), I don't really see why you'd want to go to the trouble.
