Answer:

You don't indicate the amount of RAM on your laptop but that could be the problem. Although the game lone requires 128MB, that isn't the only piece that requires RAM when your computer is running. XP, security products such as an actively running antivirus or realtime protection anti-spyware, accessible browser windows, programs such as Office products, etc adjectives require RAM as well and it could be that respectively are competing for limited system resources.
Right Click on the program statue and then hit properties At the top of that menu you should hit compatability, after try the win98/ME setting.

Give that a try & see if it works.
