Problem playing Turok, GeF2 & Win/ME

Turok runs/doesn't run on geforce 2

I am trying to play an old game called Turok Dinosaur Hunter(retail version) on my PC. I have Win Me/geforce 2 mx (tv out)/ P4/Sb Live. After clicking start game a black screen comes up saying Turok D3DHal and my display freezes. Strangely enough, the game has worked twice but the other dozens of times I have tried it the black screen comes up and freezes my computer. I am very confused. Anyone have any suggestions or any luck playing this game on later gen. computers?

If you are having difficulty running Turok, please make sure that you have the latest driver downloaded from your chip manufacturer's website.

Hey, Timber, do you have the latest drivers for your video card?

If it's a DOS game, Win/Me is the problem. Some old classic games need to run in exclusive DOS mode. Windows Me is able run DOS programs inside a window, called "virtual DOS mode". Your description sounds like that problem.

I was recently faced w/ that problem.
Win/ 98 -or- Me ?
