Well win2k (alias windows NT 5.0) unfortunately severely limits hardware acesss by dos programs(so that tit would be more stable ;))...so most probably DOS programs that need to acesss a lot of hardware like allegro won't work... I haven't tried it myself, but maybe if you use the DirectX version of Allegro your program might work under windoze 2000... BTW A good solution would involve ditching that monstrosity win2k and installing the much faster and less memory intensive win98 if possible.....
