Christer Thrane ([email protected]) is having trouble starting
Stata 10 immediately after installation on a computer running
Windows 2000:

Christer translated the message reported as

and Christer correctly surmised

The problem Christer experienced is easily fixed, and only affects
Windows 2000 computers. Unaffected are the modern Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.
For instructions on how to install gdiplus.dll by hand, see
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/gdiplus.html
Windows 2000 computers sometimes do not have the file gdiplus.dll
installed, and the Stata installer mistakenly did not install it.
