Windows 2000 build 1745

Windows 2000 build 1745.1 is a Beta 1 build of Windows 2000 that was found on 9 September 2011.

Changes

 * The final page of the GUI setup now shows the dialog with the final tasks in a Wizard97-style window.
 * GUI setup no longer restarts automatically when this build is being clean installed. The automatic restart now only affects upgrading.

Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is completely broken, showing an error message even when trying to load an error page.

Windows Explorer
Web View does not function at all, unlike in build 1743, which fails to display icons and the file list.

Installation

 * Unlike build 1743, this build's CD is not bootable. You will need to create and format the partition and run  with a DOS/Windows 9x boot disk or upgrade from a previous build.
 * Installing this build in hypervisors will result in a BSOD on startup due to incompatibility with the floppy disk controller file . Either delete or rename it, which will disable access to floppy disk drives, or replace it with a later build's   (except build 1796) after text-mode setup by using a DOS/Windows 9x boot disk.

Hibernation
Hibernation is non-functional, as it will return you back to the desktop instead.
