Hey, guys. I was just trying to see if I could play WC3 from the Kilrathi Saga in Win2k, as I don't dual-boot into Win98 anymore. 
I installed all three and this is what happens: WC1 starts up and runs just fine, when I updated the compatibility patch and made a shortcut that uses Win95 compatibility; WC2 seems to work just fine; and WC3 won't start up at all. WC3 gives me a "VirtualProtect() Failed" message on startup, and won't even launch the intro movie. Does anyone might know what is going on with either of these games?
I checked ntcompatible.com, and they had WC3 in Kilrathi Saga as running fine with no tweaks needed, in WinXP, that is. I would assume it would go the same for Win2k, but perhaps not. At any rate, if anyone has gotten this to work and might have some tips, they'd be appreciated greatly. I'll leave my critical specs below. Thanks guys.
