I am running W2k with a banshee card and I have not found any games that will not play. I am having a little trouble with grim fandago's sound but thats it. All others work fine for me. I'm sure there are some games that don't work but I haven't run across any yet
 
These games work for me:
UT
Motocross Madness
Homeworld
Quake2
Heritic2
Hexen2
 
I know it's a short list but I don't play that many games.

OP
I'm getting an error with
this program has performed an error, there will be a log generated. something like this
 
or... is my overclocked cpu the source of all these problems with games? celeron266@400
I'm not much games but an OS without games...
just for a few minutes, i mean hours )
If I can run unreal/prince persia .. that's more then enough. the rest of my software
is working perfectly. games are the only problem.
ThankS

I would say you either have a bad driver or it's due to your over clocking. And my first choice would be the over clocking which could have horked a driver.
 
Does it work without over clocking?

I don't get it anymore...
I'm still getting this message:
... has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. It only happens with games, NO problems with apps. I tried it with a voodoo3 and retail drivers, with a banshee card, once with the hacked drivers and once with the nt4 drivers, pc is no longer overclocked, reinstalled win2000......
why o why..
