However, the piece it sticks in the Start menu is blank (Start, Programs, Activision, Wizards and Warriors, *BLANK*) and I can't find an EXE named properly in the directory.

Wha'd I do wrong?
Mine dod the exact same thing - I just created a desktop shortcut to the Deep6.exe file and it worked after I did a couple other things. Do a search on Win 2000 or Win2k because you will need to run the program in a Win95 compatibility mode which is not turned on by default - here is the command you need to run: regsvr32 c:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll

This allows Win95/98 compatibility and will allow you to modify your shortcut properties to use the compatibility. To install the game properly I had to run apcompat.exe from the Win 2000 CDROM - its in the admin tools. Also one other important thing, mine only works good when logged into my PC as Administrator.

Good Luck !
