There is no version of Vista that you can "make emulate Win XP". You may be
thinking of the capability of some versions of the upcoming Windows 7 to
include a "Windows XP Mode" but this mode is only supported on specific
hardware. There is no way that processors in machines designed for Win2k
will meet those requirements. Again, it is very unlikely in general that
computers designed to run Windows 2000 will support Vista. Either simply
upgrade those computers to XP - which is certainly still available - or
purchase new computers running whatever operating system you need.
I don't mean to hurt your feelings in any way, but based on your posts you
would be best served by having a local computer tech/consultant come
on-site to help you figure out what you need. This will not be someone from
a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.
