In the setup file; try running it with Direct 3D HAL.
Is yr OS\hardware 64 bit?
Change the compatibility of setup.exe to WinXP2\3 before running and choose always run as admin. Ditto for the game exe. the main exe is 'hero.exe' btw found in yr installation folder. Changing compatibility of the shortcut will have no effect. Change the compatibility of BOTH the setup and hero.exe as well as set them to run as admin. and run directly from yr install folder.
If those don't work..
I think i have isolated your problem.
Two questions.
1> does the bg music for the login screen play? (tho it doesn't mean much if it doesn't i think its off by default)
2> Do you have an ATI Radeon Graphics Card?
If the above are true this seems to be a common problem.
First follow the instructions on this link

ignore the recommendation to set C:/games as the install folder. Also fyi once you've installed both ragray and HeRo to the same folder you may copy and paste the main game folder wherever you wish it'll work fine. (Beware shortcuts though like the ones on yr desktop, they will stop working)
If that does not work then try the following(please read carefully xD)
Try the following.
Start Menu >> Right Click on my Computer (Properties) >> Device Manager >> Go under Displays and uninstall your graphics card driver. (Make sure you have the driver installation first lol)
Restart.
At this point windows should automatically install the driver from its database. Go along with it and restart if necessary.
Try running RO again.
If it doesn't work; re install yr graphics driver(download latest for best results)
If its not a radeon let me know.
The removal is important for Radeon updates apparently have a problem if??not clean installed.
If it still doesn't work.. well get back here for more ideas
