Alright, I got this game with an HP comp that came with a Voodoo 1. Later, we upgraded it to a Voodoo 2 and gave the V1 away. Now, years later, I'm having a hell of a time getting it to work again. The game itself runs, but it just goes back to the menus when I try to launch a mission. Heres the specs of the system I'm using:

Pentium 2 266mhz
96mb Ram
Sound Blaster AWE 64

Video - I have an AGP V3 2000, and a V2 in front of the integrated ATI rage whatever (think its what came before the rage, lol). Which should I be using, and at what settings/drivers?

I wish I had the dos version... This is the win 95 voodoo 1 edition. Oddly, I have never seen it work under ANY other card. Ill try using just the v2 and uninstalling the drivers. What driver do you suggest for the V2?

Hm, Mechwarrior was one of the first games that was specifically optimized for every single 3D Accelerator out there at this time.

Since the optimization and 3D was card specific, I'd assume compatibility issues will naturally arise (since the Games used internal Drivers I guess).

Not sure, but I'm afraid that one might be a hard nut to crack, did you try the (otherwise unused) Voodoo1 Emulation options (e.g. Limit Video RAM etc.) of the Voodoo2 ?
