Need for speed 3 under w2k

This is a discussion about Need for speed 3 under w2k in the Windows Games category; I downloaded nfs3 fix from here, and did all as was written in readme file. But I fail to run the game. I click on nfs3. exe, and nothing happens (clock icon appears just for second, and that is it).

I succeeded to run 3dsetup, but nothing more than that.

What the patch does, is just copying files manually and updates registry manually.
I have Win2k with sp1 and latest compatibility update. Nevertheless, when I try to install the game, it tells me that it can only run under win95/98.
