AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

(OP)
Please,
I want to install Autocad 2000 on Windows XP, but it was impossible to me. Would you give me a solution for this problem. My email is jlchm@hotmail.com
Thanks

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

First: what version of windows xp are you using (home or pro)?
Second: At what point are you having problems, and are there any error messages you could share with us?
I just recently installed A2K on a xp home addition with no problems; however, this doesn't seem to hold true for every machine.
Last: was your windows xp a clean install or an upgrade?

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

OEM copies and upgrades of XP home apparently have horrible problems with installing 2000.  The professional (both OEM and clean install) have had absolutly no problems installing both 2000 and 2000i on several different machines last month.  Everything went smooth until we started installing it on peoples home PCs.  Only 2 out of 11 installs worked.

If you do not have XP Pro sadly you may want to fork over $399 for it.

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

    You would think that XP Home and XP Pro would have the same underlying structures. Does anyone know if it's linked to a specific .dll?

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

See the Autodesk website for a list of limitations re Windows XP ... do a search for XP on their support pages.

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

I was not able to Install A2K on XP Pro. The Error message said, it only works on 98,NT,2000. I Don't get it

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

Saleen:
See messenger's comment above.  This worked for me as well on an OEM version of Win2K Pro.  You may have to copy the installer file locally to change the compatability mode setting.

RE: AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

Hello All:
Windows XP Home Ed. and XP Pro are exactly the same program with the exception that Pro has Network capabilities and Home doesn't. Therfore if you are running a stand alone machine, save the $400.00 and buy HOME ED.
