Eudora 5.0 crashes system

OK, damnit. I have tried 3 different Eudora versions. 4. 3. 2, 5. 0beta, and now 5. 0 final on 2 different installs of Win2K. Every single one of these gives me the exact same results. I install it fine, but whether i restart or just go right to it, it freezes at the splash screen.

I install it fine, but whether i restart or just go right to it, it freezes at the splash screen. Mouse and keyboard get locked up. Only thing I can do is hit the reset button.
 
I have seen that most people get it installed fine, so I'm not expecting a Eudora bashing session, but I'm up for one. Let me know if anyone has had similar problems, and if you've found a way around it.
 
Thanks,
