AutoCAD2000 not running on XP

Hi. I have a secondhand copy of AutoCAD2000. It wont run on Windows XP. Is there an upgrade I can get or is the XP version a whole new purchase?

There's no specific "XP versoin" of AutoCAD 2000; it should run just fine on WinXP. Do you have Administrator rights on the XP machine? ___

Set the compatibility mode to Win2000 or WinNT

Can you please tell me where I do this? The application doesnt load. I get an error that says:
"System requirements error Wrong OS. AutoCAD supports Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 5.0, Windows95 and Windows98"
and thats it? All ideas appreciated...

I've read a little about it on mine, too......XP Home edition, anyway. 98 here at work, so I can't check it at the moment.

I have Windows XP Pro as the OS on two machines and have AutoCAD 2000i installed on both.
They work just fine.
The "secondhand" version you mentioned in your original post is probably not a "good" or a valid version.
Perhaps, buying a "new" version would eleviate you problem with whatever OS you are running.
I have never had a problem with AutoCAD installing on any system OS. It's practically fool-proof as long as you have a valid version of the software.
Best regards ...
