the first issue has actually to do with partitions with more than 2 GB free space. You can probably install the game on such partitions but you will not be able to run it until you block enough space so you only have 2 GB or less of free space
 
The second issue is a bigger problem:
The game crashs if I try to load a savegame.
I even tried to load these "replacement savegames" from the Sierra homepage, but they didn't work either.
I have tried both Win95 and Win98 compatibility modes but neither of them worked.
I don't know what else to try.

I also had a problem like that a while ago and also with a certain part of the game where you use the golden feather on the scale of justice, the game would go into a loop in that room and I could not get out. I used the games update function to find the update it needed from Sierra. Try that and let us know if it works.
