Just use the
"setwin95.cmd" that came with NT4 on "heavy gear
2.exe". Just go into the command prompt and navigate to the Heavy
Gear 2 directory. Make sure "setwin95.cmd" and "imagecfg.exe"
are in the directory. Type "setwin95 heavyg~1.exe" and then
execute "heavy gear 2.exe". This should bypass the "Directx
6 not found" error. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional Final.

It works under xp, you need to download Microsoft application compatibilty toolkit 5.0., then use this tutorial as an outline for creating a patch to make it work under XP, just change the compatability mode to 98/ME.
