Yeah, Windows 2000 and XP don't have the DOS platform as the older Win95 and 98 did. I bought a cheap laptop off ebay and it works great. Only thing on it is DOS and the Haltech program.

Win2000 has a DOS "emulator", and it'll run buy VERY SLOW. Running the Haltech proggie off a DOS boot disk is a LOT faster on laptops with Win2000 OS loaded.

93 rotorhead, i just bought a 20$ antique laptop to run mine. I feel alot better when its bouncing around in the car. Check your local computer stores for used units, thats where i found mine.
