Has anyone else had problems running NASCAR 4 on Windows 2000?

It was one of the few games of mine that ran WITHOUT problems on Win2000

What speed is your CPU?

AFAIK, that should be totally irrelevent.  N4 runs perfect on Win2K, regardless of machine speed, as
long as the machine is decent enough to properly run Win2K.  Unfortunately I see way too many
knuckleheads trying to run Win2K on old K6-2's with 64 MB ram.  Sure it runs, but I can walk faster
than that...

I've tried running it on a PII-450 with over 400 MB RAM and a PIII-500 with 512 MB.  It takes two
minutes to go from the opening menu to the next screen.

My PIII 500 only takes a few seconds, I would suspect either video or sound card drivers causing the
slow down....what video and audio cards are involved here?  That may help to identify the problem.
If they have Geforce cards, then on systems that slow you would benefit by running OpenGL since the
GF cards are faster at OpenGL especially on slower systems...

Each machine has an inVidia TNT2 chip set.
