You don't need to download the actual RPG Maker 2000, you only need the runtime package = RPG Maker 2000 RTP. You can easily get it here.

Also, I know nothing about Windows 8 as I use and prefer WinXP. It is logical that some old software is not supported by Windows 8. Sadly, I have no idea how to solve this, I'm sorry.
