I know there is an issue with non-English versions of XP - but I don't know the details or what the fix is (there is one). You may want to search the forum, or send an email to Stardock support.

And it's version 1.0. You might be better downloading the english version of the game and then downloading up to 1.0x, which runs better. I'm not sure what happened to the German 1.0x

Setting the desktop colour depth to 32 bit (or 24 bit) might also help.
