It's a 1997 Glide game.  It's fine on my V5 5500 with Win Me + dx9.0.  I found something on jeuxvideo.com forum that might help you.  I don't have Win XP so I don't know.  It says ; "only right clik on the setup.exe of the game/select compatibility/windows 95.  It should work.  Good luck.

Thanks for your answer, but it did'nt help with the win95 on the setup....

this is the message i get after i try to start the game:
....grsstwinopen:need to use a valid window handle.
Does this help anyone to help me

did you "before" to run the 2 games with a Voodoo 2 on a other machine or with an other driver ?

how about using a real glide2x? here.

I thought also about the problem of the glide wrapper.
But since Uprising (1 or 2, i forgot the version) had some problems with a Voodoo 2, i asked also

....grsstwinopen:need to use a valid window handle.

All I was able to find about this is  ; Windows is not able to  show the window...   ...That's not some we don't know....

I'm surprised these games had problems with V2.  They were made when it was the best 3d solution.

I found these patch for the game. Maybe it could fix playing with the V2 if you didn't try it.
