Hi,
Click here to download your mainboard's audio driver.
If this is the solution for your problem, please rate my post, otherwise give us more details. The package contains drivers for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98SE and Windows 98/95.
Looking at the manual for this motherboard your maximum ram is 512mb in two sticks of 256mb each. Speed rating is pc133 (maximum). You may struggle with the external hard drive as you only seem to have usb 1.1 and not usb 2.0
that is normal. Once you get that message, you can switch off your PC. To avoid that message, just keep the power button pressed for 3-4 seconds continuously when shutting down, and not a quick press.
Your computer can support Windows XP, which has better hardware support and compatibility with the 2003 Office suit. XP also updates your hardware automatically once you are on the internet. You might want to try this.
Keep in mind that the older the Operating System, the harder it is for Office suites to compat. Newer Operating systems have better support for your computing. If you don't have HDD problems, the BIOS should not prevent you from loading SP2 for Win2000.
Conclusion:
1. The SP2 Source Disk may have a problem
2. The Win 2000 you have already loaded may be missing components, preventing the SP2 to load.
2. Notton Antivirus versions and the 2003 office both reject Win 2000. They just don't like it; it's getting too old.
