Geforce2 and Jazz2 incompatibility?
I recently bought a Xtasy Geforce2 MX 200 video card. After installing the card like the online manual said, I tried to run various games to see how fast and nice they look. It turns out that a few games don't work, epsecially DirectDraw based programs. My current version of Directx is 8.0. When I try to run jazz2, the screen goes black and fills the screen like normal. But the graphics don't load, the computer locks up. The only way left to restart the computer is by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del two times in a row or pressing the reset button (of course I could simply just shut off the machine  . Any clue as to why this is happening? Jazz2 used to work with Directx 8.0, but only on my old ATI Rage 8 meg card.
