SiS is running fine on my laptop, but had an issue on my older desktop. This desktop was a beefy gaming/dev machine in 2005 but is showing it's age now. Personally I wouldn't sweat this issue from a business standpoint as most machines this age have been put out to pasture. It does play almost all 2D and most 3D games just fine, sometimes with the effects turned down a bit for 3D.
Another thing I might note is this desktop has dual monitors.
The second time I ran SiS it delayed on the splash screen for some time. I thought you would want to note the loss of transparency around the splash logo. It showed up like this after I alt-tabbed around a bit:
Another note - should both of the A's in STARS and SHADOW have the same dot in the middle?
Then to wrap up my second run I got an "exe is not responding" message at the main menu:

The third run had the same "not responding" result as the second, but I never made it to the main menu.
