If you are running under windows then it will do this as it hates windows, it needs to run under DOS
If you are running under DOS then make sure it's the dm2.bat file you are running, not the skulkeep.exe file, as it will also do that
If you can only run windows and can't get DOS, read a few of the posts below to find out about DOS box and the best settings to run it under

The game absolutely will not run under any version of Windows. You need to run it in DOS, or use a DOS emulator (Dosbox, Virtual PC are both good choices). Also, I've noticed Virtual PC doesn't like the opening movies (tends to crash). To get around this, I copy the still Interplay logo over the other videos and rename them appropriately. The result is a longer Interplay logo, but the game loads fine.
