Peter, try the following:

1) Reinstall the game on a different folder.
2) Patch to the latest v1.03 version.
3) Make sure you have the latest DirectX version and video card drivers for your Windows XP.
4) Launch the game with non very aggressive video options.
5) If you manage to get to the main screen, go to the Options and set error logs on.
6) Relaunch the game with the video options you desire.

I may have a need for your Dxdiag file and your general.opt file (found in VGN\settings), if you can send them here: phmalacher@ageod.net

please refer to this thread in the mail.
