1. Don't do a Windows 2000 upgrade; always do a clean install for two important reasons (a) this will leave your old system for dual boot, so if anything does not work you can just boot to the old system (b) upgraded systems are notoriously unreliable. 2. If you do a clean install you will have to reinstall all software. But this is recommended in any case. So, reinstall all your Adobe software but be VERY VERY sure not to install ATM 4.0, as that will break Windows 2000 beyond easy repair. 3. If you did not do a clean install and things aren't working right, backup your data, wipe the disk and do a clean install of everything. Aandi Inston
