I had it crash  immediately the first time I tried to run it in both
regular and safe mode... the gpf error message didn't even mention
anything about which module it was in.  I tried changing video resolutions
under win95 but had the same trouble.   I already had DirectX-5 installed
and had no problems with any of my other games.   So I went and
uninstalled it then installed again, this time leaving the Install DirectX
option checked.  It booted up without any problems at all.  Haven't tried
any other games out to see if this has screwed them up.
