Hi,
I just want to know what version of windows 2000 I have, such as final retail, beta, rc(What are RC's?)
My System panel says: Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195

Is this the retail final version?

RC's = Release Candidates...
In the command prompt, type winver. If there is no expiration date listed you have the final release code.

Ok cool, It doesn't say an expiration date, if anyone has the beta, can you goto command prompt and type WINVER and take a screenshot of it?

Btw, can someone goto safemode with the retail? Mine says Build 2195 FREE, what does that mean?

But when I type winver in the run command it doesnt say and experation day, like Jerry said there would be if you had a trial.
And I had to enter a CD-Key when I first installed it.
