Have you tried reinstalling the games?
Have you run 3DMark 2001SE? Both games are from Sierra, so it could be some files are corrupted most likely.

www.futuremark.com It is a 3D benchmarking tool that is also useful for diagnosing 3D related problems; if that crashes, it's your system. Beware, it's a 50-60MB download.

Get the latest version of DirectX, I believe it is version 8.2.

Update your video card drivers then reinstall DirectX.
