There has to be a support group for this somewhere, I know I could've
used it :) I never actually did cure my obsession, I just supplanted
it with others: Morrowind, brandy, coprophillia, that sort of thing.

The first two things to check are the graphics acceleration as you
say, and the sound options. I run it from a batch file like this:

echo off
bcm.exe -n -x0

There are other sound switches but the -x0 is the main cure, this
applies especially to soundblaster cards (sblive in particular).
There are loads of issues with Detonator versions and badly fragged
disks too, but aside from that, in my experience it can fall over for
just about any reason.

Well, although the first thing I always did was turn off the music,
i've got to say I think the one with the lead guitar is great. And who
the hell are Yngwie Malmsteen!!

Shin, attempting to get BC working used to be my second job, there's
no need to apologise to me.

Bugger. I haven't bothered for a long while but I would have given
RC36 a whirl if I could have modded it.
