Have you checked that you have the correct version of directx and also that you have 256mb or ram free when trying to run the game. Don't forget that the pc will use RAM when it is loaded for background programs etc... to see how much ram is free press CTRL ALT and DEL to get into Task Manager, then click on the Performance tab on the left hand side you will see how much memory you have, how much is being used and how much is free.
Check the game requirments for DirectX and then check that you have that version or above on your computer. You can do this (if using XP) by clicking on Start>Run (on the right hand side) and type in DXDIAG, this will open the directx diagnosis page, it will tell you which version of Directx that you have. While you have this page open also click on the display tab to find your graphics card and how much memory your graphics card has, make sure that it is compatible with the game you are trying to play.
I hope this helps
