Subject:ACID 2 crash while opening old files under 2000

(I looked hard to see if anyone else had asked this
question but came up with nothing so I hope I'm not being
redundant.)

I recently installed Windows 2000. ACID 2 works just
fine. However, upon opening large songs (with a lot of
tracks) I had created before the OS change, I get an error
message right after the last track is loaded in.

PROGRAM ERROR
sfacid.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.

I can open pre-Win2000 songs with a small amount of tracks
just fine. The weirdest part is if I hit Esc half way
through the loading of tracks, they stop loading and the
tracks loaded up to that point remain. The file can be
played but BPM and plug-in information hasn't been applied
yet. I actually experienced this problem a few times under
Windows 98 but found if I loaded songs with ICQ turned off
everything worked fine. Under 2000 I've tried opening my
songs with ACID 2 being the only application up and I still
get a crash just as the file comes to finish.

If I compose new songs under 2000 I can reload them just
fine. they can be really long and contain many tracks and
I have no problem.

I'd really like to be able to get to those pre-Win2000
songs.
