Ohhh, you cannot play older games on nVidia Geforces with newer ForceWare releases either...
In particular, I wanted to play (again) with Blood 2 many years ago but already the main menu screen kept flickering. (Double buffering problem, I think.) I even "uninstalled" (read: manually eradicated, with lots of work) the back then current version of DirectX and installed an older one, only to find out that the problem remained the same. I haven't tried my own suggestion yet but it would be: install Windows 95/98/98SE within an emulated machine (VMware, Virtual PC, whatever), install old(er) drivers and then you'll be able to play your old Windows games. (Just like DOSBox helps with DOS games.)
