AVP2 and PH aliens and Pred vision issue

I recently installed AVP2 again cause it's the best game ever, and I cannot play as if I try to change the aliens vision mode I just get a black screen.
I am running windows 8, and I tried it in an xp vm also
latest video drivers, latest directx(and directx 8 on the vm)
it's a laptop with nvidia GPU and Intel Integrated GPU. both have updated drivers.
I have searched the forums and found others with the issue, but no definitive solutions. Anyone around know what I can do?

Hi there,
This can also be down to a 'resolution' problem i've had this problem many years ago.
Try to lower the resolution and see what happens (worth a try)
- Game Fully updated?
- Any Vision Mods Running ?
- What Resolution you playing at?
- Windows 8 64 or 32?
--- Let me know.

Tried lower resolutions, and lower detail settings.
Game is fully updated
I tried vision mods to see if it would fix, it didn't.
1024x768, 640x480, (widescreen hacked) 1600x900 all with the black screen when trying to use vision.
windows 8 64.
I really hope I can figure this out as even though it's 10 years old the game still rocks.

I think my computer is too new. the oldest drivers I can find are from September 2012. Not exactly legacy.

Tried a different, slightly older machine with an ATI card instead of Nvidia and it works no problem and with a base install and the patch the game defaults to a widescreen resolution for some reason...

So an old ass machine works fine ? hmmm what about your main rig? you running SLI or have any advanced settings enabled ? - Remember dude AvP2 is 13 years old.
The problem on your main computer could be the GPU settings? something really new/high tech is enabled but AvP2 doesn't like it perhaps?

When you run win8 less and less games become uncompilable. i can not run south park or south park rally anymore. coz its a win98 game so only XP can run it. AVP2 is a 98/XP game. where just lucky win7 works. if i use to install win8. meany of my old games wont work anymore. my XP/pc dead 1 year ago. i still miss playing them games. but i have them backed up. till someone makes a patch. maybe someone will bring a win8 patch for AVP2

Not even an old machine. I bought it two years ago. It looks for now I'll have to just switch machines for this one game. Even in an xp vm on my windows 8 box. I couldn't get the game to not have this issue.

Tell Me,
When you installed 'Aliens vs. Predator 2' - Did it ask you about installing Direct X 8.0 ? and i assumed you choose 'yes' correct?
If you did, - Maybe you've caused a conflict somewhere, because your running DX 10 or 11 on windows 8 right?

Said no actually. On the install on windows 7 I think I did say yes, and I did try to reinstall directx8 just for kicks, didn't work.

That's an odd one, because any graphics card from 2001... to now 2015+ can play avp2 fine.
Remember chap, this game is 15+ yrs old
I remember playing AvP2 on my old very old X1950 256MB and it breathed.
