I'm no expert when it comes to what Operating Systems that Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs supports, but the minimum requirements state that you require Windows Vista at minimum to run the game. Your error log suggests you have Windows 2000, which is quite an outdated Operating System.

You can find the minimum requirements here: https://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-22991.html

I actually think the log is wrong about that. It should say Windows, not Windows 2000. The version is below.

Version 6.0001
Build Number 7601
Service Pack 1

I think this might be Vista. Windows 7 is actually Windows 6.1 on the back-end. It might also be 7, because the build number is the same as mine on 7.

Probably some background device/service/driver/program is causing this issue. Try disabling everything. There is a small list at the troubleshooting guide but there are bound to be a lot more incompatible programs.
