Don't know why win2000 might be causing trouble but there's a nasty memory 
problem in windows ME, that is causing you trouble.  Have heard that 
there's no way to patch ME without breaking a lot of prebuilt software out 
there already.  Any big application using lots of memory is going to have 
problems running on ME.

Wish there were an easy answer to your problem, I'm switching over to Linux 
for all my important or big applications; like squeak and the hercules 
emulator.
