You installed the 1.07 patch only. You have to download and install 1.0 full client, then 1.07 patch and then the 1.071b hotfix.
Okay this is quite far fetched but you could try setting these launch parameters: -novideo -console -heapsize 512000 (this last one is useless unless you have at least a gig of ram). The first is most important, the two others are just gonna make your life easier later on. Also do you get this kind of behaviour with any other mods?

Hmm, speaking of which what are your system specs? If you don't know right click "My Computer->Properties" It should show your specs in the 1st tab...
