I can only find two download links for ATI's Rage Dawning demo, created by 3DForge for the Rage 128:

https://soggi.org/video-cards/tech-demos.htm
The Internet Archive version is part of my Windows 98 test kit. I've run it up on lots of systems with lots of different video cards, ATI, Nvidia, and others, and it has always worked - but only on Windows 98. I've never seen it work on Windows XP with any video card or drivers. Failure mode is: double click the executable, nothing comes up, Task Manager shows the program is running but not using any CPU. Windows 95/98 compatibility mode does not help.
I only found the soggi version yesterday but it seems to have the same problem.
I perused this thread and it sounds like folks were able to get the demo working on newer operating systems, but all the download links from 2011 are dead.
Has anyone had success running the Rage Dawning demo on Windows XP? Are there any other versions of the demo floating around that I could try?
