I asked for comments from people playing under Win2000 a couple of weeks ago and didn't get a response.

Could you specify what error message you are running into?

Trying to start AH under
Windows 2000 Pro, the game will on the original start up allow me to select video resolution and then goes to the start screen
(The  online/offline  H2H/Film screen) and then the mouse cursor disappears unless it is on the very left or top edge of the screen. Numerous reinstalls see the same response. Since I can not select anything thats as far as she goes 8-/   same results on both my home systems

P2-450@527
384MB PC100 Ram
Abit BX6-2
GeForce 256 DDRam
Soundblaster Live
Adaptec 2940UW
SCSI Quantum Viking II
Hayes-Accura V90 Modem
MS Sidewinder PP USB

Celeron 500
128MB PC133 Ram
Abit BH6
Voodoo3 3000
Soundblaster Live Value
Adaptec 2940UW
SCSI Quantum Viking II
3Com 36.6 Modem
Saitek Cyborg USB

The Celery is NTFS format and the P2 is a dual boot configuration with FAT32. Any info on how to get this sim running (on either one) would be appreciated

I have the same problem with WIN2000.
I recently installed a new Viper v770 and had some driver issues with WIN2000.  I had to use a driver that was not from the manufacturer to get other games to work, but it doesn't seem to help in AH.

I start up the game after all of the installations are complete.  Doesn't seem to matter what screen res I pick.  I get to the opening screen and loose my mouse except at the edge of the screen.  No keyboard basics seem to work to activate the options on screen (TAB, ARROW keys, etc.)

I've even tried changing the drivers for the mouse, switching to a USB mouse instead of PS2...nothing seems to help.  

I don't know if this helps, but during all of this inactivity on the opening screen/menu the processor is pegged.  I'm running a PII 300 with 96MB RAM.

Anyone have any ideas about how to get this to work...I'm having withdrawal symptoms not being able to fly...

Same problem here with Win2000 Pro RTM release (final). Mouse disappears only vis on borders of main screen.  It acts like the mouse is behind the screen image and cannot fire the events for the button images.
