The game was Chessmaster Grandmaster edition, and the problem was it was trying to check for a function in kernel32.dll that is only supported on winxp and maybe vista, so the wrapper fixed that. Thanks! “The procedure entry point IsWoW64Process could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll” Fix at: http://win2kgaming.siteburg.com/ With xp api wrapper. 1.) Run regeunknowndll, reset computer 2.) Extract needed dll into the application you are trying to run directory, do not rename 3.) Copy the proper same named dll from elsewhere on your computer and rename to the designated targetname in the readme, put in the application you are trying to runs' directory That should work. If that fails to work extract then try and extracting the entire .rar file into your applications directory in case the dll rename function requires one of the files in the rar to also be on your drive. I don't think they do but I ended up extracting everything to begin with so I can't be sure. thank you Robin, i believe it was that particular wrapper hack that ended up doing the job for me, i had an older version made by the same programmer which wasn’t working, and I spent a lot of time figuring it was a human error on my part using the wrapper, until I gave up on it and did a lot more searching and posted on forums and what not and came across that site myself and got that wrapper and got it to work.

With xp api wrapper.

1.) Run regeunknowndll, reset computer
2.) Extract needed dll into the application you are trying to run directory, do not rename
3.) Copy the proper same named dll from elsewhere on your computer and rename to the designated targetname in the readme, put in the application you are trying to runs’ directory

That should work.

If that fails to work extract then try and extracting the entire .rar file into your applications directory in case the dll rename function requires one of the files in the rar to also be on your drive. I don’t think they do but I ended up extracting everything to begin with so I can’t be sure.

Your best bet is to look on the Windows 2000 Gaming forum here: http://win2kgaming.siteburg.com/ Hmm, it's down right now, but the wrapper pack you can download there may work for you.

Great to see that there are still some of us left. Wow, I thought I was the only person who still believes in using Windows 2000 over anything else.
