I would be very happy, if someone could help me with this. I can't play mortal kombat trilogy in Windows 2000

Why? because when i get to choose the character, it crashes. I already heard that...there is and there isn't a solution. So i leave it to you guys, to help me with this. I already tried hard to find, but...no results

It doesn't work at all, it needs access to VESA drivers and crap and that stuff is just not NT friendly. The DOS might work, but it too needs VESA, sound will be problematic.

Actually, you might play it... I have Windows XP, and I'm running it under the "Windows 2000" compatibility mode.

There is a patch for this thing, here's the link: http://home.comcast.net/~masterpisgreat/MKTSetup.exe

That's the Xp patch, but it might work... try it.

I wrote the 2000/XP patch you are linking to, it works perfectly on both OS's and requires no screwing around with anything, just installing it will make everything work.

The site for it is here: http://shortfilms.tk/
