I have found a temporary solution. It may work for those ATI video cards also. My brother told me to run a "compatibility wizard" in XP. It runs the program in question as if it's operating system was windows 95, 98, 2000, etc and sees if it will work without crashing. It gives you options to run it in 256 colors, a different resolution and even disable some XP options. If it works, then it saves those new settings for the next time you open that program. I just tried to run FMS in 256 colors, and it no longer gave me the blue screen. Its pretty crappy graphics, but now I have FMS 7.0 on my laptop. It'll do until I can figure out how to run this normally.
