Why not post the "exact" error message and perhaps we can help you.

I saw this one before. The game crashed immediately when you open it.

I think this stems from the fact that you may have no video card...

You could try to install Mega-Glest 3.3.5 (then 3.3.5.1-alpha2) which now checks for sound system errors and will try to continue if sound fails.

So First 3.3.5:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/current_release/

Then the 3.3.51.-alpha2 update:

Thanks

Open the ini. The line that says:
SoundFactory=DirectSound8

Can be changed to
SoundFactory=OpenAL

Windows defaultly uses directsound, and other OS's defaultly use OpenAL, but you can use openAL on windows.
