I decided to revisit Startopia, a nifty Windows XP game. I had trouble because they don't use Direct3D correctly; they make assumptions about your card. I had to teach it about mine to prevent a bluescreen every time I ran the game.
Startopia uses a file called "CardID.tom" to describe video cards which are identified by PCI ID. The Vendor is specified, then the device, and some characteristics are given. I just copied the top GeForce entry and changed the device ID. This is what I added to the file under the nVidia section:
Device:0CA3 GeForceGT240
Tweak:SRT_Z_BUFFER_USE_SAME_DEPTH 1
Tweak:SRT_Z_BUFFER_USE_SAME_SIZE 1
Tweak:SRT_Z_BUFFER_DONT_USE_BACKBUFFER_Z 1
Tweak:SRT_POLYGON_SUBRECT_CLEARS 1
Tweak:SRT_ENABLE 1
Tweak:IMPOSTOR_ENABLE 1
Tweak:RENDERSTATE_STATE_BLOCK_MACROS_ENABLE 0
It has completely fixed my problem.
