Default win2k pro sp4

is there ne way to get wmp10, msn 7.5, and ie7 to work on this? also where can i download an xp sound scheme? i had xp pro before, but the system was laggin on the inet, so i down(up?)graded to 2k for the preformance, and it runs great, i just miss all the cool things from xp, like syncronize device(mp3 player, wmp10) some cool features from 7.5, and i wanna try out beta7. i might do a dual boot with xp, but its not that big of a deal, i rather the preformance of 2k over the visual style of xp. wait, is there a way to mod 2k to give it an xp visual styles, like the taskbar, title bars of windows, start menu, etc...? gray is a lil bland

Your old rig was made to run 98 or 2000. XP would work but won't run that smoothly, you can disable most of the visual stuff on XP if you want.

*Turn it into a firewall/router

Why, it would just slow it down.

You can with WindowBlinds or something, but I don't use that crap, just a waste of RAM really.

lol. i mean like manualy modding a file or something with paint or photoshop or something, so its natural to the system, like the startup screen, i want to change that too, make it look like the bios screen, but instead say starting up
