I have used it on windows me, windows 98 and windows xp without any problems
but there are a couple of things you can do.
1 make sure you have updated windows 2000 via windows update fully and
completly if you have not done that it will take a long time and you will have
to revisit windows update several times.
2 make sure you have patched baldur's gate if you are talking about BG 1 then
there is also a patch just to patch direct x you will need that as well.
3 if both of those do not work then if windows 2000 has the ability to run
programs in prior windows versions then click on the .exe file that starts
Baldur's gate and switch it to either windows me or to windows 98 or 95. I
don't personally know if this is possible because I have never used windows
2000 but you can do this with windows xp to run old programs that won't run in
windows xp mode.
