Check the file stderr.txt in your game directory. It might have some information on what the problem is.

1) Use MSConfig to clean out anything else starting in the background

2) Disable any anti-virus during the install of any software

3) Make certain to install the most recent update for Dominions

4) If problems continue uninstall and reinstall into a different directory.

5) Get the most recent drivers for sound and graphics card.

I sometimes have a similar problem. Dominions doesn't come up if my second monitor is disabled. Enabling it solves the problem.
