I have to ask..are you really using Photoshop 2 ?
This was released in 1991 and was only Mac platform compatable. Also Photoshop was not colour managament compatable untill Photoshop 5 in 1998. If you mean Photoshop CS2 then Woofies suggestion is fine bit instead of sRGB I use Adobe 1998 RGB for a wider gamut.

Adobe 1998 RGB is fine if you want high quality prints or for publication and your monitor, printer etc are colour calibrated to match each other. On the other hand, if the main use of your images is for the web or emailing, or the occasional A5 print then you should use SRGB as your standard otherwise your web colours will be very different to the way you saw them in Photoshop (any version).
