The problem with Shockwave 11 and Windows 2000 is related to gdiplus.dll not being in the system path (%Windir%\System32) as it is by default in Windows XP. To correct the issue, a copy of gdiplus.dll (which can usually be found somewhere under the Program Files folder) can be placed in the %Windir%\System32\Adobe\Shockwave 11 folder.
