This is more art than science & needs luck.
 
Start, Run, CDpath\setup.exe -Lgntforce
 
Then apply the update patches. Start the game from the CD, sometimes it works better than the disk command or a shortcut. Get a patch from Game Copy World removing Safedisk copy protection.
 
Do not use Sound hardware acceleration. Graphic configuration 1024 X 768 at 32 bits.
 
It should play but changing adapter drivers for older drivers is often necessary, as it is with Geforce2. Side note: Matrox maintain they will soon finish a driver enabling Thief to play on G200 and G400-450 cards.
 
Tell us what you did when you make it play.
