This is a known issue. I think the standard Cirrus graphics driver in 
Win2k doesn't support hardware cursors, so autograb doesn't work 
out-of-the-box.
There's a newer graphics driver for Win2k at 
http://www.hofnet.com/fire/browse.asp?target=%5CCIRRUS%20LOGIC%5CCL-GD5446%5CDRIVERS%5CWIN2000

This driver supports hardware cursors; but you still have to use 
non-colored mouse cursors and disable mouse shadow. It then works nicely 
for me.

Btw. you should always be able to release mouse by pressing CTRL+ALT. If 
this doesn't work with my patch, it's a bug...
