I just received a Optiplex 745 from the office back in Houston. My instructions were to reload to windows 2000 and use a real time data and video recorder for a process we have out here. I found an old Dell Re install cd with windows 2000. The plan was to boot to the CD and then format and reload as needed. The only thing I have found is the chipset driver and I fear that the Audio video driver may not exist that will work with 2000. Upgrading the process is not an option I need to find a way to get this 745 in place. Hoper you guys can help this none IT that is floating at sea. Take Care and Regards
