I've already installed DJGPP and RHIDE 1.4.7.8 in another partition with
Win98 and it's all OK.
I've made a link to RHIDE 1.4.7.8 under Win2000.
After the first run it opens a windows telling me to set up
two environment variables of DJGPP: (PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN and
DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV)
in System->advanced->environment.
I've typed the paths in lowercase (the true names are lowercase) and
I've put them in both User and System environment to be sure.
But RHIDE continues to tell me that the DJGPP installation
is wrong: 

 RHIDE has detected, that the environment variable DJDIR
 has not been set (or not correct). This is a fatal
 mistake. For information about fixing this, please read
 the File README.1ST from the DJGPP distribution. (about
 setting the DJGPP environment variable!!!) Should I
 continue?

Then I've opened a DOS window to see the environment variables (with
SET),
and are correct (right path, right .env file). I've utterly controlled
the true DJGPP\BIN path and the existence of the C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
file. 
It's all OK. I've never modified this last file. I've downloaded DJGPP 
from the official Delorie site five-six months ago so I think is
updated.

Why RHIDE doesn't work under WIN2000? I've tried to disable the mouse
too, but the
result is the same and I think the mouse problem under NT has been
corrected,
And I don't thik it can be the cause of the malfunctioning.

Thank you very much

Matteo Della Torre
