I am trying to run a number of RM2K3 games on my Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine. When I run RPG_RT.exe, the game opens in full-screen mode, displays a black screen, and then gives me the following error message:

The game quits immediately after. Can someone tell me what is causing this, and how I might fix it? I might add that my computer didn't always do this; this only started happening recently.

I've had a similar problem since upgrading to Windows 8. 2k/3 games won't run on any of my machines.

There's been a few topics where this(or something similar) has been talked about.

I know there's at least one more that I can't find.

Generally, it's a video card issue because lots of people with Windows 8 have no issues at all(like myself). Although your running a virtual machine, so maybe that's different somehow.
