I used to have one of those lappies.. specs are fine for that game, xp/win98 compatibility is the key

 

first, and easiest thing to try is win98 compatibilty mode

 

r.click the program icon>compatibility tab>select win98

Download the 1.2 Patch. It usually fixes the pink screen bug.

Thanks I have tried both and now have a new problem. After starting the game and exiting the story intro, a window pops up titled 'Failure' List index out of bounds (255). Any ideas?

Could you copy/paste the exact error message? Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v will grab and dump what is in an error window.
