Windows 2000 FAQ
We solve 20 of the most vexing problems with Windows 2000.

With all the hype and hoopla about Windows XP, it's easy to forget that this next-generation operating system isn't really all that more advanced than the current Windows 2000.
These two operating systems share more than Microsoft might want you to know. Both were built on the same solid base, which means crashes are about as rare in these new operating systems as they are common in earlier versions. But because both new systems trace their ancestry back to Windows NT, they can be unfamiliar territory to home and small-office types used to Windows 95 or 98.
Windows 2000 has a reputation among some home users that it's tough to use. But we at PCWorld.com just think Windows 2000 is misunderstood.
To show you what we mean and to help you get the most out of Windows 2000, we devised 20 of the toughest and most common problems that new users have with the OS, then came up with detailed solutions. We can help you whether you're using Windows 2000 now, thinking about upgrading, or wondering if you should wait for XP. We hope our FAQ will give you a head start in transforming yourself into a world-class Windows 2000 power user.
