Question
Will the games work in WINDOWS 2000?
Answer
Electronic Arts does not officially offer support for any of our products running on Windows 2000, unless otherwise stated on the game box. Windows 2000 is an operating system based on an operating system specifically designed for networking (Windows NT 4.0) and aimed at business as opposed to the average home user.
Many of our games that were designed for Windows 95/98 will not detect Windows 2000, as an optimized operating system, and therefore may not properly install. The Windows 2000 family of products are developed as business applications and optimized for this unique environment.
Also, most of our games that use Microsoft's DirectX will not function properly in Windows NT or Windows 2000. This is because DirectX is a Microsoft standard for running games in Windows 95 and 98. Even though DirectX is included with Windows 2000, it has been optimized for the Windows 2000 environment and may still have problems with some Windows 95 & 98 games.
Until hardware vendors develop fully compatible drivers, these games may have issues with Windows 2000. New drivers are being released almost daily from hardware manufactures. To get any game to run in Windows 2000 you will need to make sure that you get the latest drivers for your hardware (video card, sound card, etc.) installed on your system.
