A simple method is to drop the graphics back to 16 bit.
launch the program.
go to settings and set to 16bit there.
and any other settings you feel you need,like window mode etc.
Exit.
Then after resseting to 32 bit on desktop,run program agin and it should work.

Or just open a new account for Xbtf/Xt,with graphics at 16 bit and run from there.

( I am using W7-64b, and it works fine for me.
