Windows 2000 build 1796

Windows 2000 build 1796.1 is a build of Windows 2000. This build changes the default desktop color from the shade of green used in Windows 95, NT 4.0 and Windows 98 to the shade of blue used in the final version of Windows 2000. A new graphical boot screen and safe to shutdown screen is now used to replace the text-based screens in previous versions of Windows.

This build still has the Show Desktop button seen in the previous build, but the menu on the right of the button has been removed.

Bugs

 * The floppy disk controller file,  in this build is broken. Either delete it, rename it or replace it with a later build's   after text-mode setup by using a DOS/Windows 9x boot disk.
 * Booting from the CD results in a BSOD, use a DOS/Windows 9x boot disk to run winnt.exe (not winnt /b) from CD.
 * mmsys.cpl can crash when clicking on CD Music.
 * Sound cards may not operate properly in this build; and can be difficult to fix the problem.
 * The ACPI driver in this build does not work in Microsoft Virtual PC and displays a system crash and breaks some features. However, if you press the F5 key to load the "Standard PC" driver during the first stage of setup, this build will work on Microsoft Virtual PC, though without ACPI.
