I e-mailed the file to you. it's 12megs!! so I hope both our respective servers let it through!

Apparently virtualdub is needed for win2000 as well. Here are the instructions from the tech tips thread for running vdub:

6.1) Can´t enter buildings in town or exit through the gates
Problem: Your town*.avi files are compressed and won´t work in Windows 2000/XP
Solution: Download Virtualdub. Open a townmsk or townhub file with Virtualdub. Save the open file in Vdub with the "Save old-format AVI" option with a new file name (such as mask1.avi). You should see some strange graphics appear; you will get back a large 32MB file. Now exit Virtualdub and then in Windows Explorer rename the new file from mask1.avi to townmsk1.avi (over the old file - say Yes to the "Do you want to replace" dialog box). Do the same procedure to the other two town mask files (townmsk2.avi and townmsk3.avi) changing the initial save names as appropriate. Then repeat with the three townhub files. Note, this will require an extra 180Mb of diskspace.
