This is something that the driver vendor needs to take care when building a
driver binary for Windows 2000. From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndevice/html/newinwinxpddk.asp:

The Windows XP implementation of these functions, by default, is not binary
compatible with the implementation on Windows 2000. If your driver uses
SLists and needs to run on Windows 2000, you should build your driver in the
Windows 2000 build environment. Optionally, you can build your driver on
Windows XP and use the Windows 2000 Slist implementation by defining the
symbol _WIN2K_COMPAT_SLIST_USAGE at compile time, prior to including any
other DDK header files.
