It locked up on me too at first; then I tried a simple thing, under the options menu reduce the number of oppenets to nine---this may help.

I'm pretty sure that this particular release of the demo requires a Pentium. Some of the graphics code was optimized for a Pentium, using Pentium-specific code. If you check the other messages in RAS, almost universally the problems with the demo have been on 486 and equivalent machines.
