EDIT::::::::::::: =================== FINALLY I DID IT!
Ok this combo worked for me, but it kinda sucks because its windowed
PUT the game EXE on XP SP 2 and admin compatibility.
Then launch the game from cmd with following parameters
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Homeworld Emergence>"Launch Homeworld Emergence.lnk" /window /800 > a.txt 2> b.txt
Second up, if something doesn’t work, close galaxy completely and run the game from the installed game. Half the time you will get better information than just a grey button turning back to green.
