Hi it's Kylie

Anybody have any experience converting a physical Win2000 install to virtual? I'm stuck on inaccessible boot device and a lot of the resources on the Internet are dead links. Trying to preserve whatever was on this old drive. This seems like a driver issue but I don't really know.

Another random tip:

works pretty well under modern versions of QEMU, though not quite as well as WinXP. Try this:

* Video: vmvga or vmware-svga
* Audio: ac97
* Net: rtl8139

Install the video driver from an old VMWare Guest Utilities CD. One from the 3.x or 4.x series should work well. This will give you better video than the Cirrus card that's usually recommended, though you'll still be stuck with 4:3 or 5:4.

NT4 and earlier are a mess. Use or for those.

This package containing all Windows 11 fonts and some extras like Fira, Noto, Open Sans and IBM Plex for Windows 2000 and later.

My intention is simply to provide more modern fonts for older versions of Windows. Ideal for those who enjoy retrocomputing running Windows on a VM.

Installer only tested in Windows 2000 and XP.

This is XFCE with the standard Adwaita theme and Win98SE icons. A nice, Windows2000-ish working environment without much ricing.. the Win98 icons alone make for such a clean simplicity IMHO. It's always a joy to work with this VM.. I'm mostly using it for network maintenance wherever I need it.

I’m developing an irrational affection for . Especially the Explorer (of all things …). It hit a sweet spot between simplicity and features. (And it was awful in many regards, but we’re going to ignore that.)

Win2k was also the last Windows before that “product activation” nonsense. That was the point where the complete enshittification of everything began, imho.

The closest thing to Explorer that we have on Linux/BSD might be XFE – without the integration into the rest of the system, obviously.

(Other similar file managers like PCManFM also still exist, although they have adopted the current ultra flat UI even more than XFE.)

Found an old installation of mIRC.

This was a curious time. I was using IRC basically 24/7, mIRC was my “home”, and so I naturally made extensive use of its scripting facilities for many years. Much of it had nothing to do with IRC – for example, I apparently had a shortcut on Shift+F6 that swapped MP3 codecs around before launching a game.

In a nutshell, mIRC was my supplement for shell scripting. (And I know of at least one coworker who once confessed of doing the same. )

(Also, this obviously predates things like Git, so there’s a ton of dead commented code, earlier versions, … chaos.)
