You do realize, don't you, that AutoDesk doesn't support the
installation of AutoCAD 2000 on any OS newer than Win2K, don't you?
At least, I can find no mention of any other operating systems in
conjunction with that specific version anywhere in AutoDesk's
knowledge base. In fact, the earliest version of AutoCAD specifically
mentioned as WinXP-compatible is AutoCAD 2002. Additionally, AutoCAD
2000 is scheduled for retirement on 15 Jan 2005. I think it's time
for you to seriously consider upgrading your AutoCAD to a more recent
(2002, 2004, or 2005) version.

You might try installing AutoCAD 2000 using WinXP's Win98 or Win2K
compatibility modes, but that's a long shot.

I use Autocad 2002 & that will only run on XP Professional, not XP Home
so I imagine that v2000 would have even bigger problems. Have yo
tried starting it in 'compatibility mode'? Also, I seem to remembe
reading somewhere that you could install on Windows2000 b
right-clicking on the Setup.exe icon on the installation CD which woul
give you the option of choosing your OS - maybe they have somethin
similar for XP?

From http://www.xpsc.net/ :

"Can be run in windows xp by just right clicking on the setup.exe
icon, choosing properties and under the compatability mode
selecting windows 2000, I do not know if it will work with xp
Home edition but will be very interested for any feedback."
