I found this after i googled for the runtime error.
If you get an error 'Run-time error '-2005532292 (8876017c)': Automation error when starting Shape Viewer - this error code translates to "out of video memory". If your card has more than 32Mb on board, then it is likely the video driver is not working properly or is not up to date.
I thought I recognised the symptoms from a konfuze or elysium error a while ago.
Are the video card drivers your using the latest available?
You may have to re-register the DX7 .dll after you upgrade the drivers (can someone confirm for me please, i'm not sure on this)
Are you using a really large tileset?
Although it may not be just your tileset that is causing the problem - total up the size of all the graphics files your using and compare that to the size of the memory on you GFX card.
EDIT: Just an afterthought, does your tileset file, or any other graphics file your using for that matter, have any extra empty space past the end of the tiles .bmp files have a nasty habit of basing their size on the entire size of the picture including blank space. If so you may get away with just resizing them in paint.
