Believe me I would love to know why it is not working for me either. I have tried the patch, the compatibility program. When/if Microsoft releases a December compatability update it may or may not contain something that may be of some help to us 2K users. I have no faith in EA doing anything to solve the problem.
Peejay,
I am in the same boat as you - The unofficial "fix" doesn't work for me either. I do have a dual boot though and I understand that if I create a season in Win Me, I should be able to play it in win2k, but obviously this is a "work around" that shoud not be nec***ary. However, I haven't given up up yet, maybe if we continue to yell and screen enough, ea will get their act together. Keep us posted with your findings.

I was able to get it to work perfectly, and I think I know how it will work on all computers.
I was getting the same "Error: Hard Drive Full" error and tried the unofficial patch & QFixApp. Neither worked. However, when using QFixApp, I saw the 2GBFreeSpaceEx thing and thought that it might work if I got my hard drive under 2 GB, it would work. Lo and behold, it worked fine. So if you can get your hard drive under 2 gigs, it might work. I don't know whether or not this will work for everyone else, but it's worth a shot.

What exactly do you mean? Free space less than 2 gb or total drive size or what?

Free space under 2 gigs. Sorry about that.

That is the full path at least to the update program that I have installed on my computer. The paths and such to where you have it installed of course are going to be different.
The version (it will say when loading) that works with Win2K fine is v1.03
