But anyway, some people on IRC in windows channels may be more familiar with this.

Friend,
Yeah, I second this. Win 2k Adv is NOT an OS that should be used to de stuff like "chat" and stuff like that. It's made to manage multiple domains and server farms. If you're running your servers off of it, then get yourself another PC and use that as your console. Don't EVER mess around with a real server by installing stuff like MSN Messenger, winamp, kazaa, all that stuff. It's called Server.
If you bought this OS to use on your home machine, then you should've looked into it first. Advanced doesn't mean it'll work better at home. Advanced has a lot of problems for end-user stuff. It doesn't even support all the same video cards that Win2k workstation or server supports. If you got this as a pirated copy (most likely) then you shouldn't have a problem getting XP like Woj suggested and install this for home use.
