I have easytrax running under Windows 2000 IIRC I had a bit of trouble and
had to play around with the Properties to get it to work.
Just scanning through the Properties trying to remember which settings I
changed you need to change
under the Screen Tab change to full screen
I also changed a setting to give Easytrax more control (as it ran very very
very slow - ie a Black screen for several minutes before it fired up ) I
think the settings may have been under the misc tab:

Background
always suspend

Mouse
exclusive mode

sorry it has been about 12 months since I got easytrax working so I may have
changed more settings than these but it can be made to work fine under
windows 2000.
I have always been happy with 640x480 and this works fine for me.

I have used the PCX image convertor and it works fine ....
