I don't know if this is going to help anyone:
Last night I was randomly wandering through the W&W directories when I found something interesting...
There's a directory called townavi and that's precisely what it holds: AVI files with the animation of moving through the town. There are six: one holds the animation for each town, the other holds an animation of the masks that cover each building when they're highlighted.
In other words, the towns aren't rendered -- they're PLAYED as video files!
Could it be that the reason you're having trouble is with the Media player in Windows 2000? I have 95, so I don't know off the top of my head if 2000 uses a different player for AVIs...
Just a thought.
