Lexia XP or Win 2000 pro?

Post by Gibbo2286 »

I'm just fitting up another laptop ready to dispose of, it currently has Windows 2000 Professional as an O/S, will Lexia work on that or do I have to put XP on it?

Pretty sure I've read somewhere that it doesn't work too well on 2000, however according to the requirements on the easy diagnostics site it works on 98SE/2000 or XP (all with latest service pack).

I would change it to Windows XP if you can. Windows 2000 hasn't received any security updates for years now and is considered end of life. Even connecting it to the internet to download or update Diagbox would be rather risky...

Diagbox is known to work well with Windows XP and those who create the patches for Diagbox actively test them on Windows XP however I highly doubt any testing is done on Windows 2000...it might work fine but if it doesn't you're probably on your own trying to figure out why...

Thanks for the replies, I think I've got an XP set up disk here somewhere.
