any suggestions?

g200 on win2k with default win2k driver. newest vid bios
also tried newest pd & drivers but it didn't help ,actualy made my machine lock up frequeltly.

[az]

Tried compatibility modes (if win2k has these)? Win95, 256 colors etc., and all combinations of these options...

One last resort is always to use VMware... I am also at my wit's end because I cannot get X-Com Apocalypse to run (mouse just won't move).

If it is a dos game, try dosbox:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

(after finding this, I'm hooked again on Lost Vikings...)
