Looks like it's trying to use a resolution that doesn't work.

If there is an opengl32.dll in the installation folders, rename it. This will ensure the one from the graphics driver will be used.

Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, I had already seen that thread and tried it without success.

Thanks for the suggestion. I searched but couldn't find any "opengl32.dll" file. Could it be under another name? Also, if so, what should I rename it?

opengl32.dll is the renderer. Older games often bring old versions with them and use that, instead of the one the graphics driver has.That can causes rendering problems.
It can be renamed to anything, so that the game can't load it.
