If you have a Voodoo2 card (or two cards linked via SLI), check your Windows driver setup to see if the option “Force Triple Buffering for Glide Apps” (or anything resembling that option) is enabled. If so, DISABLE this option and try it again. Leaving this option enabled may cause D2_3DFX to attempt to do something it’s not able to do, and will either cause it to hang or crash. Special thanks to jls for the information.
