Management Studio scripts for SQL 2000

When I use the generate scripts task in Management Studio to create tables
for a SQL 2000 target, the scripts do not run in SQL 2000.
I selected SQL 2000 compatibility mode. The scripts work fine on a 2000 database
running under SQL 2005 but not on the real thing.
Is there a easy way to generate scripts that run on a SQL 2000 instance?

Exactly why do they not run? Because they refer to sys.objects, of because
of some other problem? I just scripted a database on SQL 2005 for SQL 2000,
and the script ran on SQL 2000.
I seem to recall that that there was a problem with scripts for SQL 2000
referring to sys.objects in the RTM release ot SQL 2005, but this was
corrected in SP1. You can find SP1 of SQL 2005 at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/sp1.mspx.
