Ok. 3dfx's Reference driver gives you a OpenGL ICD, but if you are using
CL's driver, you probably don't have an ICD driver. Try this:
1. Download 3dfx MiniGL driver version 1.47 from
http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?PAGE=VBdrivers.
2. Install the driver in a "TEMPORAL" folder, such C:\Program Files\3dfx
MiniGL.
3. Copy the file "opengl32.dll" to your HomeWorld folder and try the OpenGL
mode.

3.1 If STEP 3 doesn't work, just try to download the latest 3dfx referencial
driver, called "Voodoo Banshee Windows 9x Reference Drivers AGP/PCI -
Version: 1.04.00"
3.2 Rename the "opengl32.dll" file to "Backup of opengl32.dll"
3.3 Try to run the game again...

Well, CL 3D Blaster Banshee driver haven't OpenGL ICD, but I did a little
trick to solve this situation with an older OpenGL ICD version. I installed
the CL 3D Blaster Banshee (082799 - 3dbb9xup.exe) and I copy a old 3dfx ICD
file called 3dfxOGL.dll (version 1.0.0.0.438 - size: 900 Kb) in my
Windows\System folder and I added to the "OpenGLdrivers" register's key:
3dfxOGL.dll (Windows Register, use REGEDIT at RUN command). I solved many
OpenGL screen saver and games problems, but MiniGL driver runs games and
applications better
