Use Windows Classic theme. That's working for me. Image

Note that's on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 not on VMware.

you can just extract the archive with other OS, or use command line 7z.exe.

Try an older version (e.g. version 9.62)

Try also Opera 8.54 if you cannot install 9.62.

Hmm, Firefox also gave me a bsod on 2428. Try Opera 12.09 with the classic theme enabled, it works for me though. That version of Opera was the last one to be supported on Windows 2000, so well, I think that regardless of virtualization program, if it has worked for me I think that it must work anywhere though.

Give this one a try ;), i'm using mypal with windows XP. I don't see why mypal couldn't be 2000(-ish) compatible.

Do you get a dump file of your BS?

2428 is different than RTM version and it is sensitive to embedded manifest.

and Mypal requires XP SP3
