It has to do with directx which dosen't have same level of support as win9x os sorry there nothing can be done about it.
A better way put it there a key features that is miss from directx that allow the voodoo1,2 and rush to work under Win2000/XP OS.

What I know is that early drivers (Win9x) could handle OpenGL/D3D and glide of course. But with the following ones, D3D wasn't available anymore which, I assume, was due to subsequent DX7 and later...
As for Win2K, only Glide and miniGL worked (Quake the Ist).
About XP, I'm still waiting myself for drivers, though I don't really need them anymore since my early Rage128, then Rage128ProViVo, and now the RADEON 7500...
