Game recording results in a black screen

Hey y'all!

I'm trying to record Need For Speed 2 (the original 1997 version, not SE) using OBS Studio, but unable to do so, as the application only outputs a black screen along with the audio. I've followed numerous YouTube video instructions, and changed the GPU settings, provided administrator privileges to OBS, tried modifying the Transform settings, and attempted recording via the Display Capture, Game Capture and Window Capture modes, but to no avail. Every other game I've tried seems to work (including the SE version), but I'm unable to figure out why non-SE will not work. The following is the log from the latest Game Capture attempt:

[game-capture: 'Game Capture'] attempting to hook process: NFSW.EXE

Can someone please help me fix this?

TIA!
