Should work.

You need to have at Direct X version 8 or later for this version.
Unless you've upgraded manually, I would guess that a Win2000
machine has an older version.  I thought I had this somewhere in
the docs, but I guess I'm dreaming because I can't find any
reference to it.  You can get Direct X at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

Never seen this before.  What kind of graphics card is this?
It could be that this card does not support OpenGL.

>Any tips?

I'd try upgrading Direct-X and using that version.

Let me know if that doesn't work.
