Wrong Operating System - Help!

[Dan J]

I just purchased a new computer and bought the upgrade to
Windows XP Professional. I tried to load Autocad 2000
onto the computer because I'm an architect and
occasionally work from home. When I tried to load the
software, I recieved and error stating that Autocad only
supports Windows NT 4.0, NT 5.0, Windows 95 and Windows
98. This is very frustrating since I bought the computer
specifically for running the Autocad program.
Is there a way that the Windows XP Pro Operating system
can be made to support the Autocad 2000 software?
All answers are greatly appreciated, Thanks!

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.
