[chasmanian]

open mplayer2.exe then the file. right click and notice which codec is being used. then reinstall that codec or raise its priority level in control panel/multimedia/devices/video compression codecs

[chasmanian]

the priority setting should be on the properties page for the specific codec in the control panel items i listed above. double click the codec and you will see it. hope this helps.

try installing the divx codecs from the tools section here on this website, too. that may be a problem. if win2000 came with a built in mpeg4 decoder, it may be locked.
