Hi, due to a recent feeling of nostalgia I wanted to play some of my older games on my machine, but I get this particular error.
When I start the game I get sound and all but the screen stays black. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del I see the menu of the game just fine for a split second before it minimizes.
I already tried compatibility mode and have the latest drivers for my graphics card. Some other old games run just fine, the ones I get this problem with are Combat Flight Simulator 1+2, Mech Commander 2 and American Conquest. Oddly enough those games work fine on other machines running XP, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Some of my system specs:
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz
Asus P5N32-E
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS
Thanks for any help!
