Really odd situation - and you're not using DosBox right now?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't think the compatibality modes differ a lot, just pick one, if you even have to pick one. I could run the game perfectly in XP.
What if you try to select a soundcard?
How far does the screen go, until the intro (and then it freezes)? Because this is the place the game locks up when you have not installed the driver properly enough. So if the game goes further I guess you can neglect the information above.
I will look into the budget problem later, if you don't mind.
