Try using compatibility mode
Compatibility Mode

This is a function built into Windows® XP, and added to
Windows® 2000 as of service pack 2.

(To enable it on Windows® 2000, execute the command ''regsvr32
%systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll'' from the Run prompt or a
command console(without the quotes). You will need
Administrator priveledges to enable this. Service Pack 2 or
higher must be installed. This will add a tab to execution
shortcuts called 'Compatibility'. You may want to check first
to see if compatibility mode is already available. Do not do
this in Windows® XP -- you already have it active by default.)
