Default Ignition crashes a lot.

Running a Compaq nc6000 under Windows XP, no modifications, no large problems, is very reliable and of decent speed. CPU-Z identification page will be supplied if needed.



UNDER WINDOWS:
IGN_WIN:
Is at normal speed, somewhat glitchy, and crashes when loading a race (progress bar at 80-85%).
IGN_3DFX
Requires Glide graphics/drivers/etc.
MAINDOS:
Is at an increased speed, mostly glitchy, crashes either when quitting the first race, or shortly after completing the first race.

UNDER DOSBOX:
IGN_WIN
Would not launch under DOSBox.
IGN_3DFX
Would not launch under DOSBox
MAINDOS:
Simply will not load.
Sometimes, it has a LOADING screen and does nothing. It is accompanied by a strange sound, increasing and decreasing the cycles rate changes it accordingly.
Sometimes, it has the LOADING screen, does nothing, and is relatively silent.
Most of the time, the screen stays black (lit) and there is a (...burgandy? Dark brownish color?) letter denoting what drive I have mounted it in (if I have typed
Code:
mount c c:\abandonware\ignition
, then there is the text
Code:
C:\
) near the top-left hand corner of the screen.

Why post this if there are many other threads about this?
Because:
1. I don't want to dig through millions of posts under the original game thread for a glitchy solution that may or may not work (disclaimer: it won't).
2. The only thread I found pertaining to *this* problem was locked, with not enough information to make sense of what happened.
