Windows 2000 build 1964

Windows 2000 build 1964 is a Beta 3 build of Windows 2000, which was originally found on 23 June 2015.

It lacks a proper branding, having "2000 Server" branded in places, "NT 5.0 Beta 2" branded in others, and "2000 Professional" branded in.

Changes

 * Changed the icons, hibernation and safe to shutdown screens to the versions used in the RTM.
 * The "Network and Dial-Up Connections" applet received another new icon, now with the computers overlapping.
 * The icons in the toolbar of Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer have been slightly shrunken in spacing between them.
 * The  command for Command Prompt now reports the same version string as in the header rather then printing out the version number only.


 * The shell has seen an update, with new branding and a new Active Desktop wallpaper. However, the old NT 5.0 branding is still present in a few places, like the bootloader and the "Logon Screensaver".

Bugs and quirks

 * Booting from the CD results in a quick crash. This bug persists until build 2020.
 * The banner of the Configure Your Server Wizard cannot be displayed, as instead an error page takes place.
 * The About box of Internet Explorer 5 does not display the version number, as the "Version" string was left blank. This can also be seen in build 1965.
 * An error might occur during the network setup. If this happens, restart the computer and go through the user information portion of setup again. This bug persists until build 2000.
