To play Hypergammon with gnubg, you have to activate the Hypergammon
variation:
Settings / Options / 3-chequer hypergammon.

Normally this option will be grayed out, unless gnubg finds the file
hyper3.bd in your gnubg directory.

The program makehyper.exe can be used to build that file. How to?
Look here:

(but your system informations says: 256 MB RAM... thus I don't recommend
building it on your PC!)

MS started numbering it's Win32 OS with 1 (Win 95) up to 4 (WinME) and XP
