System hangs after starting Privateer

When I launch Privateer, I get nada. Zero. Zilch. Zip. As far as mem goes, I've got elbow room (if I remember correctly) 624. I've copied my .TRE's to my c:\privater
directory, edited the appropriate cfgs. Should have it made. BUT...

I cd into privater, type priv. Nuthin' happens. Just sits there.

Here's the pertinents...

Bachelor number one is an 800mhz Duron w/128mb of RAM. Files system is FAT32, Win95 bootdisk. It likes Unreal Tournament, Italian food, and long walks on moonlit beaches. It just can't seem to get over this Privateer hump.

Think I've covered just about everything. Questions, ideas, comments, spelling and/or grammatical corrections? Feel free to respond.

Thanks in advance.

What is your OS and sound card are you using? How did you install P1? Which version CD or floppy.

OS on the machine is Win2K, however I am booting off of a Win95 floppy. Soundcard is an SB Live!. I've got the CD, but I've gone so far as to copy the TRE's from the cd onto my hard drive and edit the CFG files to point to the image.
 
O'kay try is. You'll need to get a mouse driver. You can get one here http://www.bootdisk.com and add it to the autoexec.bat. The LASTDRIVE=F in the config.sys is suoppose to be the last drive letter in "My Computer" please change it to the correct letter.
Autoexec.bat:

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE
ECHO=OFF
SET PATH=A:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV;C:\PRIVATER;
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PROMPT=$P$G

I just realize that Windows 2000 by default installs to C:\WINNT unless you tell it difference. Assuming that it is in C:\WINNT you will need to change every C:\WINDOWS to C:\WINNT in the autoexec.bat.
