What can I do to get TTO working in Windows 2000 (what a uncompatible OS!)

I'm afraid it's impossible on Win 2000/XP.

Unfortunately you cannot run it under Windows 2000. However, if your hard drive is formatted with the FAT32 filing system, then you could install it anyway, then run it via an MS-DOS bootable floppy disk.

If you are using NTFS but lots of RAM, you could try creating a DOS boot disk that sets up a very big RAM disk, and then copy the game from the CD to the RAM disk on bootup.

Or just go out and spend £30 on a Pentium 100 system and install MS-DOS on it

or download TTD

You can't get it working on NT, 2000 or XP, I'm afraid. You might be able to get it working for 15-20 seconds or so (I can manage about that), but that'll be it - it'll then give an error very briefly and close.

Hmm £30 are R$ 180, and the brazilian minimun salary is about R$ 200... bad idea.

It won't work... file system is NTFS

Your best bet is just go out and buy the cheapest old pc you can. I have a Pentium 166MMX that I put Windows 3.1 on (haha, what a great OS) and use for TTO.
