Please provide any additional information below.

I installed Python(x,y)- 2.7.5.2 successfully 1 month ago on another machine 
which OS is Windows 7, I had no problems with "import numpy" and "import scipy".

I am wondering if the issue I met this time is related with Window 2000 server.

I'm sorry according to Wikipedia windows 2000 server was discontinued in 2010.

The best workaround I can suggest (except upgrading to a supported OS) is to 
keep using 2.7.5.2.

I have a similar, perhaps exactly the same, problem.
I use iPython and have recently installed Python(x,y)-2.7.5.2

My answers to the questions you asked of kay.wan are the same, except that my 
os is windows 7 64bit.

In ipython notebook, I get:::
