Hello,
Thank you for posting here.
You may perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 2000:
1. Insert the Windows 2000 Setup CD into the CD-ROM drive, start the
computer, and then press a key to start from the CD-ROM.
2. On the Windows 2000 Setup screen, press ENTER to run the "To set up
Windows 2000 now, press Enter" command.
3. Click Accept to accept the License Agreement.
4. Setup should now detect your installation. NOTE: If the Setup program
does not detect a previous installation but just continues to the
partitioning screen, there is a problem. An in-place upgrade may not be
possible.
5. When you are prompted to repair the existing Windows 2000 installation,
press R. Windows 2000 Setup performs an in-place upgrade of the existing
installation. Note that you might lose some of your customized settings for
the system files.

| Well.... I can't even get into my Control Panel. Here's what I did:
| - closed all programs,
| - restarted my computer,
| - Start, Control Panel (click), and...
| - ...instead of having the Control Panel open, the Desktop screen went
| blank (all blue) for a few moments, then all of the shortcut icons on the
| Desktop re-appeared. (back to where I started..)
