Currently my autoexec.bat is empty. Can you give a little more detail on what I should set? I also have seen comments to the effect that Win2000 does not use autoexec.bat though it can be forced to do so. Don't know if that is relevant. I'm wading in deep waters here.

AFAIK, on 2000/xp you are supposed to set environment variables via GUI somewhere in the system settings. Search your "start" button, or google for "environment variable windows 2000".
