Sounds like the game may be possibly trying to run a refresh rate that is not agreeing with your current settings.
If you have your desktop set at a higher resolution, try setting your desktop to something like 800x600 (just temporarily) then run the game and see if you are able to get in to adjust the game settings. Once ingame (if this works at all) see if the game has options to setup higher resolution for the game.
If that works, you can set your desktop to the resolution you had it at before.
