We have Win2k here, and it works fine under 16-Bit and not at all under 32-Bit. 
24-Bit does work, but the starting animation is kinda slow and map movement is 
an eye strain because it flickers slightly.

I finished Wastes Edge today btw. The ending is really great, apart from my 
Alek-running anim, you can really see it was last minute work... ;)
One thing though: The travelling animation (ALek in the woods) was quite slow 
at parts, it didn't run as smooth as the one in the intro sequence.
