Running Sim City 3000 UK/World Edition on Win2k

Archived from groups: alt.games.simcity (More info?)

I have:
Athlon Xp 2600+
Radeon 7200 Series
Win 200 Pro
DirectX 9

I have read on other forums that many people can run both SC300 UK and
World Editions with no Problems on Win 2000. Even though SC3000 uk Min
Sys Reqs are Win 95/98/ME/XP and World edition is for Win 95/98.

The game installs with no problems and loads to the Maxis screen but
the quits to the desktop. All my drivers are up to date and no patches
are available.

Has anyone else had success withthis or know of any possible
solutions?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
