Hi guys,I'm an italian boy.I've choosen this forum because I've a problem.I want running the first Tomb Raider.My operating system is Windows 2000 and my video card is a Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64.I download the last version of GLIDOS,the VDM sound and the Advanced Tomb Raider Installer.This has installed in my Pc a new TOMB.EXE file (about 853 KB) necessary to use Glidos program.After I launch the program,the game not starts, and apperars a GREY window of Glide Server and I can't play the game.If I use the Windows Task Bar appears a Warning on the applications list.
What do I do? Any Ideas
Thanks everyone and sorry for my Beginner English

That sounds like the error you get if you use the standard drivers for the TNT that come with Windows. They don't support OpenGL (except in software mode). You need to get the latest drivers from nVidia

So I must downlast last drivers of my video card.I've also a problem to play Tomb Raider 2.In the install menu, I can choose only the software rendering (256 colors) and not the 3D acceleration hardware.Is it the same problem?

The TR2 problem could be related. It sounds like you may have no drivers at all, and your computer is driving your card in VGA fall-back mode.

On the other hand it could be an effect of running you desktop in a 256 color mode.
