This sounds likes the classic fast CPU/Borland Pascal problem. From what I heard, the Borland Pascal library has a routine that attempts to measure CPU speed. It fails badly on a fast CPU reporting runtime-error 200. There were a slew of programs that had this problem that surfaced some time ago (about 5 years) when 200 MHz Pentium III's started appearing. Unfortunately, unless the holder of the source code is willing to recompile it, there is nothing that can be done, short of running the software on a slower PC.
