I have a question about Top five reasons why Windows doesn't support your hardware :

I am trying to upgrade my Win95 installation (to Win2K Pro using a full install disk). During the install, Windows Installer states that there is a conflict between my motherboard and my video card, then the installation app quits. My video is onboard the motherboard. In addition, I use an addon PCI video card and have disabled the on-board video in the current hardware profile (the chipset does not allow the video to be turned off completely; regardless, the install fails when I use on-board video also). The motherboard/video combo is on the XP approved list (the Win2K approved list is not working so I haven't been able to check against that list). It is new as of last Christmas and I have all the Windows 2000 drivers loaded on the hard drive. Is there some way to bypass this step in the installation? Hardware info: Motehrboard: MSI MS-6387 Any ideas are appreciated! -tomas (tavera@sbcgobal.net)
