So, I click on the application and the logo will pop up. The cursor goes spinny for a a few seconds and then the whole thing crashes. Is there anything I can do to get this to run? I have Microsoft 10 if that helps

I'm having exactly the same problem! I really loved the game - it was a staple of my childhood, and any help would be hugely appreciated.
I had exactly the same issue on Vista. Switching SH33W32.dll file inside game installation folder with one provided here "www.filewatcher.com/m/sh33w32.dll.112672.0.0.html" helped in my case.
I'm getting the exact same problem: it shows a logo screen briefly then crashes to desktop. I'm currently running on Windows 7.

This fix didn't work for me:

You've got good timing. Give me, likely, another week or so, and I'll be announcing public testing for my reimplementation of the game in ScummVM. So you'll be able to use a daily build as an alternative rather than the game's original executable.
