Game is not compatable with the Operating system (ie: Trying to play a DOS based game while still in XP), the install failed, or the video setting are not correct (set display properties to 800 by 600 before starting the game)

How old is this game? If it's kinda old then you should set your color depth to 256 colors. Just a guess.
