I just spent 15 min searching trying to find the answer to my question, which I *know* has been asked previously (because I followed it previously). However, I can't find the thread that deals with Win2000. I'm building a new machine with a fresh install of Win2K. What order do I install all of the drivers, directx, SP1, etc in?

The best that I can come up with so far is as follows:
(Network drivers - needed to grab files, access net)
VIA 4in1 1.429
DirectX 8.0
SP1 & Critical Updates
Video Card Drivers
Sound Card Drivers
AGP Patch
Modem drivers

Mostly worried about the 4in1, DX8, SP1 order. Anyone?

Lucifer Ahh what are you talking about?

stultus I don't know about the order myself. I tried looking when I did my install. I think its this order though and my system is running like a champ.

Via
directx
rest of hardware drivers
sp1 and critical updates
sp2 hotfixes/patches
