Looks as though it might be time to invest in new cards as opposed to trying
to make the ones you have work in systems for which they weren't designed.

The ESS card is not on the XP Hardware Compatibility List and you shouldn't
be using an ISA card with either Win2000 or XP. The Geforce2 MX 200 is on
the list but it's pretty ancient by today's standards and they likely are no
longer updating the drivers for it so getting the full functionality you
expect may be problematic.

Better suggestion would be to waste no more money in this equipment and for
sure not to install any kind of XP products.

Agreed.
