Answer 1

check to see if there is a patch for the game and make sure you have the most up to date driver for your gfx card.

Answer 2

You may need to update your video drivers and check to make sure you have the required DirectX 7.0a or later compatible 4 MB video card capable of 800 x 600 resolution in 32K colors.
