Installing 2k over an older 2k

[breeze76]

Can I reinstall 2k over my older copy of 2k and not lose any of my programs I have already installed and things like that??

Have you backed everything up? Why do you want to do this? If your system has problems, a better idea would be to fix the problems. If it's a system problem, run system file checker from the command prompt: sfc /scannow (have the 2K CD in the CD drive.) If it's a compatibility issue, uninstall questionable hardware or software and try again. If the system can't be salvaged, just reinstall everything, or attempt to repair your installation. There are other things you probably could do, but you haven't told us what the problems with the system are, so it's difficult to help. I would attempt to fix issues first, before pulling out the 2K installation disk. What's going on with your system? whythisagainwhythisagainwhythisagain

If you run the install off of your win2K cd, it will give you an option of doing a repair install. Thsi will only replace missing or corrupted files. All of your programs and groups will remain n tact.

Good luck,
