Which OS? (Just for completeness sake)
Also a longshot but make sure the game files are not read only.

Did you follow the 60 Seconds Guide?

All kinds of strange things can happen if you change the way you mount your directories after you install the game.

Currently running on Windows 8.1 64bit. Seemingly working fine (number of times it crashed the first couple of weeks you wouldn't believe!)

Yep, have a standard directory that it always mounts instead. Would be a possibility, but it is the only one of the set that seemingly displays the behaviour. Even tried a completely clean install of just that one and still happened (thought it might have been the midi patch that's available). Wouldn't be so bad, but all of the others seem to work straight out of the box, with only a little bit of tweaking for speed.

And you're using the installation program on the CD rather than copying the files manually, right?

Indeed, I'm using the install batch file that came on the disc to install the games into a DOS environment, although I did have to use the xxcopy16 workaround (as the batch file used the original xcopy command).

Try just copying the folder. AFAIR the game is not in an archive or similar. Just make sure that the files are not write protected afterwards.
