Installing Chromium Browsers:

1. Obtain a Windows XP-compatible web browser

If you are using a web browser other than Advanced Chrome, be sure to include this dll file in the same directory as the web browser's executable. Otherwise, an error will popup and the browser will not launch!

Notes:

• You may wanna grab BWC's OS Spoofer to trick Windows XP and later applications onto launching on Windows 2000.
• If you are using Windows 2000 on a multi-core PC, be sure to apply patch which is on this page after installing the Rollup Updates! The Rollup appears to cause an issue when using multiple cores!
• Major BUG: wireless laptops using boingo wireless client disconnects if attempting to use a Chromium web browser!! To workaround this issue, install and use Odyssey Client or boingo instead!!
• Official download page by Blackwingcat is here!

Windows 2000 is a rock solid OS and is very lightweight compared to its brothers. However, a few patches are required to modernize the OS. Windows 2000 cannot recognize dual-cores without a patch, so just apply this registry file and enjoy the full speed of your CPU.

Instructions:

1. Unzip file
2. Open registry file and apply to Windows 2000 registry
3. Reboot and enjoy!

Notes: Be sure to apply this patch if you install Update Rollup for Windows 2000! The Rollup appears to cause an issue with dual-cores, so this patch becomes essential.
