Installing Windows 2000

I`ve problems with installing Win2k.
I`ve reached the point where it said that it was checking for keyboard and mouse, and suddenly it said that I have harware mailfunction and that the system has stopped?
Is it possible that my keyboard or mouse (which models weren`t on the hcl list)doesn`t fit into Win 2k configuration?
I`ve tried twice and nothing; it just hangs up with the same message.

I forgot to say that this is Windows 2000 Server.

Running the risk I might have to digest some crow… I doubt it is the keyboard or mouse. Microsoft isn't much help, but what is available is here:

I would focus on the possibility of a memory problem. The display adapter keeps ringing a bell from some forgotten memory. Larry
