So, my backup desktop is having trouble starting.  It hangs when it gets to AGP440.sys file.  I did some research and found a possible, simple fix for this issue at Microsoft's website (linked below).  The problem is I only have a Windows 2000 CD, BUT it does have the AGP440.sys file and what should be a very similar/same recovery console as Windows XP.  Does any of you tech-oriented people know if I can use the recovery console on the Windows 2000 CD to do the procedure outlined in the article listed below?

Not only does he paint awesome paintiness, navigate the streets of Boston like a pro, and frighten young virgins, he is also a tech support guru!

He picked me up at the airport in Boston.

I was never heard from again.
