Running Autocad 2000 On Windows 8
I have W7P-64bit, and haven't had a lot of problems running most 32-bit programs. The one exception was trying to load AutoCAD 2000 - the 32-bit installation program would not run. Which is why I upgraded to AutoCAD LT 2009, and even then I had some some issues with trying to install some of the service packs for it - W7P-64 would not run them. Recently upgraded to AutoCAD LT 2012 and haven't had any problems.
Autocad Software For Windows 10
Will AUTOCAD 2000 (with MCAD) run on Windows 10? AUTOCAD 2000 was written for Windows XP. It will not run on Windows 7 so I have been using XP Mode on the Windows Virtual PC. Will AUTOCAD 2000 run directly on Windows 10. Will Windows 10 have a Virtual PC with XP mode (now or ever)?
Not really sure if it installed as a 32-bit or 64-bit app, but I'm thinking it was 64-bit. IMO, unless you're working on some large & complicated stuff, the difference between 32 & 64 shouldn't be noticeable.

Generally 32 bit programs will run on 64 bit machines but not the reverse. Issues can arise from the OS but Win 7 Pro, Ultimate, and Enterprise offer an XP emulation modes that allows XP and Vista based programs to be loaded. This may be what was need to be used to install the 2000 software. The start up will tell you whether or not the OS is 32 or 64 bit.
Also if you right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and choose Properties this will list the OS bit rate. Same can be done from the Help; About dropdown in AutoCAD 64 bit is the future and will run faster. Look for a minimum 6 gigs of RAM and certified graphics cards. You may also need to look at turning off Win 7's Aero theme too.

You may get the 'Failed to update the system registry. Please try using REGEDIT'. It's an irritant but doesn't seem to cause a problem.
There are some usability issues, mostly with the clip board. One user reported that it doesn't always respect file locking. Troppo 18:15.
