I recently tried to run the Infograme-game 'Silver' on my computer running on W2K. The ntcompatible.com site lists the full version a s being compatible with W2K and doesn't list any specifics. Still, the game doesn't run: upon starting it, the cd-player starts to run, I get the 'hourglass' for about three seconds and then...., nothing.
 
I've already contacted Infogrames and they took me through my display settings, cd-rom drive letter and the rest. There's nothing wrong there and so they suggested I'd try your forum.
