DeMignon: Have you tried these general tips from GOG support yet:
1) Make sure that your Windows user account has Administrator privileges, then right-click game's shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".
2) Install the June 2010 DirectX runtime package, then use the DirectX web installer, as your current DirectX may have become corrupt over time. You can find the 2010 package installation files here:

Afterwards, download the latest DirectX web installer use it as well:

To do this, go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Control settings. Move the slider to the lowest position ("Never notify") and click OK. Now reinstall the game by right-clicking the installer and using “Run as Administrator”, then launch the game with “Run as Administrator” again.
4) If the above don't help, right-click the game's shortcut, go to Properties -> Compatibility and try different compatibility modes before attempting to launch the game again.
