I can not reproduce that on XP/Vsita, sorry.
AFAIR, w2k have no GDI+ API. Try remove FarHints Image subplugin.
And show macro that you use for call FarHints.

It seems, Windows 2000 has GDI+ API. Google gives a clue for that

I've tried renaming FarHintsImage.hll to FarHintsImage.hl and it really didn't 
load
but Far/Far2 locked any way.
Macros defined:
AltShift1
$if(Index("Shell|Editor|Viewer|Dialog|QView|Tree",MacroArea)>=0) F11 ! 1 $end
AltShift2
$if(Index("Shell|Editor|Viewer|Dialog|QView|Tree",MacroArea)>=0) F11 ! 2 $end
F23
$if(Shell|Editor|Viewer|Dialog|QView|Tree) CallPlugin(FarHints, 0) $end
I've also caught Far.exe process with active window like this (see 
Far.exe.1.txt)
Window title:          GDI+ Window
HWND:                  007601BA
Window style:          A4000000  WS_POPUP WS_MINIMIZE WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
Extended style:        00000000 
Ordinary process dump in Far.exe.2.txt
Same without FarHintsImage.hll loaded in Far.exe.no-farhintsimage.txt
