I've had similar thoughts though I don't have a clue as to where to being.
I've done some checking with a dependancy checker and I've monkeyed with the
.ini files all of course to to avail. If anyone has a direction to point me
I'de be much obliged.

I'm willing to bet that the issue here isn't even technical (as far as the
software is concerned). It is probably the installer script which was • written
to check if the platform is for Win 98 or NT - and when it doesn't find • either,

supporting it. Technically, there is very little new in Win2K - it is • mainly
Win NT guts with Win 98 add-ons.

Oh man, I didn't even try, I'm moving to 2000 in a week. Damn!

C'mon LEGO(r) if your only going to support Windows THEN support • Windows...
