I am in the middle of upgrading from ME to 2000 Pro. When the upgrade process start to perform final tasks, at the step UPGRADES PROGRAM AND SYSTEM SETTING, the PC will restart without displaying any error message. It will start back at performing final tasks again, at the step INSTALLS START MENU ITEMS. It will register components, and then restart during the step UPGRADES PROGRAM AND SYSTEM SETTING. Only two steps after that are remaining: SAVES SETTINGS, REMOVES ANY TEMPORARY FILES USED.

There were programs that were incompatible with Windows 2000 on the computer which were reported by the Win 2000 upgrade process.

PC: Compaq Presario 5000

How do I complete this upgrade?

what kind of file system did you choose during the install?

Probably it's the best decision to make a clean install

i would go to compaq website and get latest rompaq for my system and see what they had to say about my model and windows 2000. you have bios level virus checking turned off, yes?

queen1 is right on the mark.
Before you start get all the drivers for your PC and burn them to a CD. Make a check list of drivers.
All motherboard drivers, video, audio, modem/ ehternet, usb, mouse ( if other than the 2 standard 2 button), and others as needed. And SCSI if needed.
Installing Win2000 do a clean install, so that you do not have problems caused by Win ME. If you just update you will have problems and them will be hard to fix.

Good Luck
