![]() And-as Microsoft admits-plenty of other Windows programs just won’t run under Windows 2000. ![]() In the meantime, Microsoft offers a “workaround for the technically minded” which is a euphemism for “forget it if you’re a mere mortal.” I couldn’t get Windows 2000 to run Art Explosion T-Shirt Factory, Barbie’s Magic Hair Styler or EdMark’s Mind Twister Math game. Even the software required for Microsoft’s own MSN Internet service won’t support Windows 2000 until some time in March. Although Windows 2000 works with more than 3,000 printers, it won’t work with my Hewlett-PackardPhotoSmart ink jet printer until updated software (called a driver) is made available sometime this spring. Not only do all those programs work, I was able to run them all at the same time-along with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer and several other programs-without any of them crashing. It did fine with the Quicken 2000 personal finance program, Paint-Shop Pro photo editing software, the Lego Friends music and activity program for kids, my son’s copy of Quake II and WinAmp, a popular program for playing MP3 audio files.
