Can't launch my updated NS2 on my very old, updated 32-bit Windows XP Pro SP3 machine.

Hello.
I haven't played NS2 for several months since the summer time. I tried my updated NS2 today, but it won't launch. I get a black screen with my mouse cursor. I had to kill ns2.exe via cmd.exe with PSkill.exe (SysInternals' PStools). I ran validity test and NS2 installation was fine.
I tried deleting my /Steam/userdata/<steamid>/4920 and %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/'s Workshop (directorie/folder)s. They never got recreated when launching NS2.exe from Steam. Intregrity of Game Cache was good. I used these tricks from http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/131384/how-to-make-a-good-tech-support-post ...
According to http://steamcommunity.com/app/310110/discussions/0/617320628062523756/?tscn=1417285171 , 32-bit Windows XP is no longer supported? Is this true?
Thank you in advance.
