I have a suspicion that this is the crash you'll get when you try to
run a SSE executable on a non SSE computer.

I think there still is a non-SSE build available here:
http://www.gnubg.org/media/gnubg-setup-gtk13-20050302.exe

Try that one on the PII machine and see if that works.

(Newer build will have a SSE auto detection, so it won't be necesarry to have 
different builds for different machines.

This is the error you get when you start GNU Backgammon and Python is
not installed.
