I cant get Need For Speed 1.0 to work properly in the windows xp dos window.(the very first Need For Speed game, suppose it was released in 1995)

I just get a black screen after I load it.

I also tried Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition and same screen problem.

I have the following hardware:

AMD Athlon-XP 2600+ 1.92GHz (Barton) CPU
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
ATI Radeon 9100 AGP 64MB Video (Visiontek XStasy 9100)
ECS N2U400-A FSB400 Motherboard
NVidia NForce2 Chipset
SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 PCI
Windows XP Professional SP1

What do i do to remedy the problem?

Thank You!

You probably trying to run them in vesa mode, but new gfx cards aren't fully compatible with vesa. Try run them in 320x200, without sound and music. Then install VDMSound from http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=2071, and if you aren't familiar with this emulator, read guide from
