Windows 2000 still has many bugs and problems as well as bottlenecks that affect system performance and stability. Microsoft only becomes aware of this after a while and gradually brings out programs (so-called updates) that eliminate the problem. Windows Tweaks now presents the most important updates for your Windows and its components.
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 – das Komplettpaket
Since the release of Windows 2000, a lot has happened in terms of bug fixing and enhancements. Microsoft has now combined all these updates into one large service pack and offers them for download in 125 megabytes. The following updates were released after SP3, which is why you should still download them if required.
The 1394 Firewire update
Besitzer des schnellen Firewirezugangs (Externe Festplatten, Kamers…) haben in einigen Fällen Probleme mit Windows 2000 Professional. Die Geschwindigkeit sinkt ins Bodenlos. Falls Sie eine Firewire Karte/Schnittstelle haben empfehle ich dieses Update.
The new Internet Explorer 6.0
It had its premiere in Windows XP and is also available for Windows 2000. It has been further developed and offers the user increased security, comfort and a faster speed when surfing the Internet. I recommend replacing the existing IE 5.5 with the current 6 version.
The latest security update for Internet Explorer 6.0
Even the new IE 6.0 still has a few gaps that resourceful hackers can break through. With the help of this update, these are completely plugged and thus made inaccessible. So that you can protect your data and your system, you should definitely install this patch.

If you often use the standby mode, which switches off all devices to save energy, you will have noticed that some components, such as modems, no longer work correctly or can no longer be addressed at all. Microsoft has done something about this.
