Yea, that's it!

Have you downloaded the newest version from:
http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/adagide.html

If so and the problem persists, try to search this group's 
archive on google, I'm not sure if I remember well, but there
was a thread devoted to similar problem. AdaGIDE should work
well on W2K, it worked on my tech. university.

I case you couldn't force it to work, and want to try something
else, here is what I have:

GNIDE - GNAT IDE by John English, simple IDE:
http://www.comp.it.brighton.ac.uk/je (but it is no longer available
under this address)

ConTEXT - quite nice configurable editor. I used it before AdaGIDE:
http://www.fixedsys.com/context/

GRASP and jGRASP. GRASP is not actively developed now, but still
possible to download. jGRASP is is newest, but it runs on Java and
therefore is terribly sloooow (+ JVM crashes):
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp/

SciTE - quite advanced editor:
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

I hope this gave you some help,
Mike
