It works here when i use the latest compatibility update. Install the latest compatibility update from windows update, then look in the shortcut of the game for a tab "compatibility" (or something like that, i don't remember the exact name as i just did a format and didn't install compat update yet), and choose "windows 98 compatibility layer". It should work fine then.
don't worry i have been trying for ages and still can't get it to run, When i use the compatability updates I just recieve error messages
Shame as I really want to play the first mission again.

Oh it finally does work. Here's what I did to get it to work. I had to reinstall Win2k fresh, went to Windows Update got the latest Compatiblity Update. Then installed Rainbow Six and updated to 1.04. I made a shortcut to it and went to the Compatibility tab and said use the Windows 98 layer. I tried the shortcut with no registry modifications and it loaded right up and I could play. It was great.
