For us to see your picture, next to "Post Quick Reply" button is "Go Advanced". Click it and here you can attach the picture to your reply.

Is it a full version or a trial version? Maybe the trial date has past and will not allow you to enter the program?

Well I took the time to look your picture at Imagehost
Well, that's an error usually produced by a graphic device driver
such as NVidia. The memory got an access violation. You have to
update the device driver.
This you can do for NVidia here: NVidia Drivers
However don't forget to uninstall the older driver first in device manager in system properties (control panel).
If this doesn't help: disable the error report service.
Type in run box: services.msc
Find "Error Service". Shutdown and deactivate it.
If this doesn't help then perform a Memory Check:
Free Mem Check
If your memory is faulted, then you have to contact your computer
manufacturer.

What version is it. Is it an old version originally designed for Windows 98 which souldn't make any difference because I use Animagic for Win98 asnd it still works.

One solution is = in display settings - set your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 at 32bit color

Also,
Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced = Disable Error reporting "but notify me if an error occurs"
