According to this: http://www.tm-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=24517 TMS doesn't like 8GB RAM. You need to have more or less for the game to work on Win64 and I just stumbled across this same issue. Limiting Windows memory on boot works fine, but I'm looking for something more definitive. I already tried fixes for limiting the memory to 512mb and 2GB in MS ACT but they didn't work. Anyone else has a better solution?

TrackMania Original bugs out when your system has an unusual amount of memory (as far as I have tested, I don't have the definitive answer). Using a DirectX wrapper solves the white screen issue in TMO. Not sure if it would help fix yours or not.

That did the trick for TMS (using dgvoodoo2) without any noticeable performance degrade. Thank you very much!

No problem! TMO has similar issues to TMS (they use the same fundamental engine) However, I can't get TMS running on Windows 10 even when disabling driver enforcement for StarForce to work. The game still doesn't like my system (unfulfilled system requirements).

Most of these outdated copy protection systems won't work properly on Win10 wihtout some extreme workarounds, and most still doesn't work at all.
