Try the tweak suggestions in the readme.txt (namely, directdraw = 0 and forcing the resolution to either 800x600 or 1024x768). You may want to select one of those resolutions for your desktop prior to running the game. DX 6.1 or more recent Win95 drivers for your video card may also help. Let me know if you fix it (or more importantly, if you don't).
