OK: XP Service Pack 2 is a dog with fleas. It installs without organic Application Compatibiliy Tools - even for Administrator level. Here's how I spent my Friday: Go to Microsoft.com, find XP support files, backtrack through info links to original (2 years old) Compatibility Fixes, eventually run across "Application Compatibility Tools 3.0", download this! Establish new AutoCAD 2000 installer Compatibility Database, Run Application Comptibility Fix to emulate NT 4.0, Test run, get past stupid OS crashbox, cancel ACAD 2000 install, save new database, "install" new fix, run ACAD 200 msetup.exe for real..... This is more frustration than I had building my entire new "monster box" from scratch! Sheesh. The things these megacorps leave out of their flagship products make me wanna move to Antarctica & live in a pup tent. <:-O Myriad nods to those who chipped in on this thread. Unhappily, I'm extra-positive I'll be a-postin' again (I hope not *soon*) with further mysteries. TATF (thanx after the fact), ==Matt==

That's why I didn't install SP2 until now. New boxes come with it, they run fine, existing ones, I think I'll leave them until replacement. Save lots of troubles.
