Original TPM Crashes after movie

Whenever I play TPM, I am able to sit through the entire opening sequence and then the movie crashes back to the desktop without startingt he program. If I click escape or the space bar, it still crashes. I have run all the updates on all my hardware, and also recently installed XP SP3, yet neither Microsoft or Stardock have come up with a solution to this problem yet. What am I to do?

Debugg.err attached.
