I don't know why you are having trouble as it's fine here. The only thing I can think of is to see if there is anything strange in the log.txt file that is created in the program directory for this game.
It could be the graphic or sound drivers for example. The game is too old now to update now, and I no longer have the source code for it.
If you could post the text file, I'll see if anything can be gleamed from that
