Homeworld w/ 2128

This is a discussion about Homeworld w/ 2128 in the Windows Games category; I have a voodoo2 card as my oGL setup, while my mga200 does the D3D most of the time. For some reason Homeworld goes blank, monitor clicks twice, then it returns to desktop. . . I'm not sure if its the DX7 release or its the mga200 drivers.

I have a similar problem. With my MGA Marvel G200 and a Diamond Monster 3D II w/ 12 MB.
Homeworld starts but when I wanna start the game itself the loading-screen appears and the PC freezes.

Doesn't seem to ba a problem of Your Graphic-Cards. I've the same problem (RIVA TNT & Voodoo 1), tried differend settings. When starting a missin ican see the intro and then I'm back to my Desktop

I have Homeworld running fine on Win 2000 (RC-2 2114) with a ATI Rage Expert 98 (8 Meg) and a Voodoo 2 (12mb), Direct X 7 Update. Gives a black screen with version 1.03 but the original works fine.
 
Sometimes lose the taskbar in the game, and sometimes "ESC" does not bring up the menu, but apart from that perfectly playable in Open GL mode.
