I think that is a Nvidia TNT2 card, right? Did you do a full uninstall of the W2K default drivers first? Use Standard VGA Adapter, remove everything that has to do with nv* in your system32 directory (besides the usual "uninstall"). Make sure your card has an IRQ available, and you don't have any conflicts.

Yes, found the solution! Had to enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" in Bios.
And now it's working!!!
 
Thank you anyway, Palos!
