Demolition Racer Help in Win2k Pro Needed

I'm having trouble getting Demolition Racer working in Windows 2000 Professional. The game compatibility list says this game works better in Windows 2000 than Win9x (I if the guy that wrote this was on drugs).

I'm having trouble getting Demolition Racer working in Windows 2000 Professional. The game compatibility list says this game works better in Windows 2000 than Win9x (I if the guy that wrote this was on drugs). I try and launch the game and immediately the game crashes and claims to be writing some kind of a log file showing the errors. I have never been able to find where this log file is!
 
Wondering if any of you have any ideas for me. I've tried the applicable items in the FAQ to no avail.
 
I'll give a few of my system specs, they may be important.
 
Celeron 1 Ghz on an ASUS P2B-F (on a Socket 370 slotket)
Voodoo 3 2000 (should be fine for a game this old)
256MB Micron SDRAM
120 GB WD, 60 GB IBM and 30 GB Maxtor Hard drives
Promise Ultra100 IDE Controller
SB Live! Value
 
I think those are most of the important specs. I have DirectX 8.1 installed (didn't matter nothing worked in DirectX 7, 8.0 or 8.1). One other thing I think is important to note is that I did not install the SB Live Drivers and crap utilities, I just let Windows 2000 use it's own driver. MP3s appear to play fine so not sure if this matters. For the Voodoo 3 2000 video card I had the latest official 3dfx drivers and also a 3rd party driver and had no luck. The problems did not appear to have symptoms of a video problem, the game simply crashes before it even has a chance to have a video problem!
 
Please give me a few ideas and let me know if there are some system details that you feel would help you help me better
