I just got a new dell computer, and i installed windows 2000.
i've gotten my audio back after installing a shit load of drivers, now im having problems installing a dumb game. i insert the disk, the setup doesn't show, so i click on the E drive, because thats the one being hosted for this game.
Then an error pops up "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).
Click OK to terminate the program" I'm not a very bright person when it comes to computers, and i need someone who is, so, what should i do from here?

Are you sure the game is supported under Win2k? I don't know if Win2k has a "legacy" mode like XP, so if it's an older game designed for Win95-98 it simply may not work.

I don't know if this thread is too old, but you could try Right Click->Properties then select the Compatibility tab, and "Run this program in compatibility mode for: (whatever)".
