Can't upgrade under Windows 2000

I'm trying to upgrade my existing AIR 1.0 installation, in response to a Secunia PSI security threat warning. When I try, I get the message "The procedure entry point GetAdaptersAddresses could not be located in the dynamic link library IPHLPAPI.DLL." When I close the message, I get the message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version." Of course, the link doesn't help, since it just sends me back to where I got the version I'm trying to install.
My system is running Windows 2000 SP 4.

A lot of software companies have built programs in the last few years that don't work out of the box with Win2k. I attribute this to laziness as it is pretty much the same core system as Windows XP 32bit. You might be able to get a later version to work, but you are going to need to hack around a bit.
This guy has a whole blog on it: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/
I was able to install Framework 3.5 SP1 and Zonealarm 8 with his instructions. If you have a hard time following, use google translate.

Has anyone had success with Messaging Server 5.2 under Windows 2000 Server?

Just to be up front - we MUST use Windows 2000 - they're not giving me a choice to move to Solaris or Sun Hardware. Linux isn't even a choice, nor is WinNT. (I know, it's annoying).
I've managed to get Directory Server 5.1 to run under windows 2000 without active directory installed. I found that I needed to modify the ims_dssetup.pl script that comes with the Messaging Server 5.2 to reference the full path to my ldapsearch and ldapmodify executables. Apparently, this is a win2k specific problem, and is not necessary on WinNT. This made ims_dssetup.pl work and the install of Messaging Server 5.2 work on a windows 2000 machine.
However, at reboot, the job controller and dispatcher do not automatically start. When I try to start the services manually, I get "Error 1067: The Service terminiated unexpectedly".
Any ideas? I'm desperate here - they're gonna make us use exchange if I can't get >>something<< working. Even a 4.x version of messaging server will do.
Thanks

Well, I do understand that.
However, I've installed iMS 5.2 on win2k several times (I admit, w2k pro, not server), and i've never installed AD.
If you can get it installed and working for your default domain, but not for other domains, then most likely it has nothign to do with AD or AD domains. iMS idea of domains is very different from AD's idea of domains. We need to be very clear about such.
for iMS, you have to create additional domains through Delegated Admin, as either "Hosted Domains" or as "Vanity Domains". We do not suggest using "Vanity Domains", and support for such is deprecated.
Once you have created "Hosted Domains" through Delegated Admin, you can add users to those domains, and they should work, just fine.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

By the way I think Oracle Designer is not certified against

IIRC this file, sasl32.dll, should get installed onto %WINDIR%\system32 when you install DS5.2 windows version.
You may run WinZIP and File/Open "d52diu.zip" (DS5.2 zip image) and look for "nsbasesys.zip", double click to Open it and you should find "sasl32.dll" there.

AC97 onboard sound DOES NOT WORK under Windows 2000

Just an FYI, the AC97 Audio on your MSI mainboard will not work under Windows 2000, for which the AC97 hardware is not certified. If you try to use it, your audio output will be intermittant at best and will crash your audio applications at worst. A maddening and disheartening problem for people like me who didn't realize the problem existed and spent many hours trying to getting it to go away.

hiya -
I am have this trouble as well!
Are you useing professional, or Advaced server?
I have done EVERY kind of update... so dice.

Can i upgrade to windows 8.1 enterprise from 90 day evaluation version

can i upgrade to windows 8.1 enterprise from 90 day evaluation version? as our company has volume license key for win 8.1 enterprise purchased

yes you can.
Skip Product Key Input in Windows 8.1 Setup
To achieve our objective, we need to edit the ei.cfg (edition configuration) file present inside the
/sources folder of the ISO image. All we need to do is to provide the version details inside this file so that Windows Setup is not needed to ask for a product key to install the appropriate version relevant to that product key.
If you are going to install Windows 8.1 using a USB drive, transfer the installation files to the USB and then proceed to step 2. On the other hand if you need to create a DVD, open the ISO using a utility such as MagicISO so that the structure is not affected.
Browse to the /sources folder.
Look for the ei.cfg file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++ (preferred). If the file doesn’t already exist, create a new text document and rename it as ei.cfg
Now amend the file depending on the version which is included in your particular copy and the version which you want to install. For Professional edition which will be the best bet for most of the users, paste the following context into the
ei.cfg file. Make sure that anything that already exists in the file should be cleared first.
[EditionID]
Professional
[Channel]
Retail
[VL]
0
Save the file and run the Windows 8.1 setup again. The setup will not ask for the Product Key anymore.
This is not a hack or anything illegal. The configuration above is supported by Windows installer and is well documented by Microsoft and can also be used on some other versions of Windows as well.

FAQ: Fix for Problem Printing PostScript "to file" Under Windows 2000

PROBLEM
A number of Acrobat users under Windows 2000 have reported a problem in which printing via the PostScript driver fails when printing "to file" instead of to a standard printer port (such an LPT, USB, TCP/IP port, or even Acrobat's internal port). Printing "to file" refers to the ability to check an option in programs such as FrameMaker or Microsoft Word that causes the PostScript that would have gone to a "real" printer port, to go to a specified file name, prompted for by the driver or application itself. The symptom of the failure may be either (1) no file produced and/or (2) a nondescript error message about "unable to print."
Although we have not yet heard of this problem occurring under Windows XP, we have no reason to believe it couldn't given the extreme similarity in architecture and software components. If you are seeing this with Windows XP, please advise me of this via email and simply substitute "Windows XP" for "Windows 2000" for your purposes in this posting.
CAUSE
The problem is caused by a missing printing port named "FILE:" used by the driver whenever it, guess what, prints "to file." This port is automatically created when Windows 2000 is installed and normally would never disappear. What seems to be happening, based upon reports that I have received from several end users, is that under some conditions yet unidentified, uninstalling one version of Acrobat in preparation for installation of another (newer) version of Acrobat causes the "FILE:" port to be deleted from the system. This printing port deletion does not appear to be caused by any end-user error.
Adobe's Acrobat Quality Assurance group has been alerted to the problem, but to date has been unable to internally reproduce the problem. We would appreciate any information from any user who encounters this problem in terms of exactly how the Acrobat Distiller printer instance was being used prior to an uninstall of Acrobat (for example, were you printing a FrameMaker book "to file" with the
Acrobat Distiller printer instance for purposes of subsequently distilling the whole book manually?)
FIX
Fortunately, it is very easy to add the "FILE:" port back into the operating system:
(1) Logon to Windows 2000 as a user with Administrator privileges.
(2) Go to Start=>Settings=>Printers.
(3) Select File=>Server Properties.
(4) Click the "Ports" tab.
(5) Click "Add Port".
(6) Select "Local Port" and click "New Port".
(7) In response to "Enter a port name:" respond "FILE:" (without the surrounding quote marks, of course) and click OK.
(8) The "FILE:" port should now be in the list of available ports. You may close the remaining dialogs.
At this point, printing "to file" should work correctly. Most likely, you will not see the problem reoccur unless you do another round of uninstalls of Acrobat.

How do I find out whether my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?

I have been searching the HP web site to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10. I also tried the the hp support assistant and it just directed me to a sales page about windows 10. I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software if it is not compatable. Is there a list of compatable HP computers or an app I can run to check? I have wasted lots of time searching HP support for this information. Microsoft says to go to the manufacturer for this information. Please help.

They are in process of making that webpage to check, you can keep checking, the link on the page below is still broken. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810-400-Desktop-PC-series/7477706/model/7485498/document/c04758308/

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Can't upgrade to Windows 10 - "Something happened" error

I've tried several times and I simply can't upgrade to Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The instalation process exists with the absurd "Something happened" error. I tried to set the Locale to en/us, and tried to install the ISO through a USB stick but no luck! Earlier I had setup my yoga 2 pro as a dual boot with both Windows 8.1 and Linux. Although I've never made any change to my OEM drives, since I went dual boot the one key recovery service also doesn't work. I still have all those OEM drives intact. When I go to the BIOS setup, I have two boot sectors, one is the original windows boot, and the other is the new linux boot; but I'm not sure it is related or not.

Hi SteveU,
Many things been tried (read the original post) - hybrid shutdown, intel drivers, uninstalling and installing again Lenovo Energy Managment driver (win 8.1 one), trying to use the Windows10 default driver for Energy management, shutting down with holding the shift (or alt button) can't remember now, many many things and clearly this is a Micorosft issue + Lenovo. Not enough testing down before hand, but everyone is happy at Lenovo as our money is at their bank... and have got expensive bit of kit that we shut-down holding down the button - because is just better than pressing shut-down...
This is the second time I'm let down by Lenovo - was thinking will give them another chance but as you can see moderators viewing or post but none of them has got a solution - isn't that right Amy@Lenovo or Majestic
Clearly Ms and Lenovo will blame each other now.
Fed up with this...
Windows 8.1 is the way to go, don't know why I was hoping that the latest MS updates will sort the issue out - wrong again
At least the Mail app works fine now

How do i "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sys file on your machine" Where do i go to do this?

I keep getting an error message on the blue screen of death. Beginning dump of physical memory. To fix it a messgae board said "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sys file on your machine with the one that is attached below and then reboot the machine." Where do i go to add this file?

I will get this error randomly, once when I was opening a file on another computer on my network, once when I was logging onto to my bank website on the internet, and another when I was searching through my d drive. Nothing to difficult, I do not even have other programs running when it happens sometimes. Thanks for any help!

OS upgrade from windows 2000 to Windows 2003/ 2008

Hi friends,
We are planning to do an OS upgrade of our current production system from windows 2000 to Windows 2003/ 2008.
Can you please refer me to any existing document /Forum link which has a detailed strategy outlaying the activites to be performed for this.
Regards,
Rohit

Hello,
Just upgrading the OS to 2003 should be OK as 640 - 700 kernel is supported on Windows 2003

For 2008 minimum level is 700 SR3 best to do a system copy

Upgrading from Windows 2000 to XP

Help! I have my iPod installed on my work computer and my office is getting ready to upgrade my computer from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. Our IT department won't transfer personal music files. I don't want to lose the music in iTunes, what can I do?

Back them up to an external drive, DVD, or CD? This is generally a good idea even when you're not planning and upgrade...Apple won't let you re-download tracks you bought and downloaded, and You don't really want to spend all that time re-importing CDs.
An external hard drive is one good way to back up the music; they've come down a lot in price recently. If you have a DVD burner, you could back up your music onto DVDs (I don't know how much music you have, but each DVD holds 4.7GB). Barring that, you could back up onto data CDs, which hold about 700 MB each.
